What outdoor lighting actually does for your home.
Safety and security
Well-placed illumination discourages intruders, makes walkways safer at night, and gives your home a lived-in presence when you are away.
Curb appeal
Architecture and landscape lit with intention. The right scheme can dramatically change how your home reads from the street and add real value.
Outdoor entertainment
Patios, pools, pergolas, and outdoor kitchens set to the right ambiance with one tap. Scenes for dining, movie nights, and quiet evenings.
Control that actually works
App, keypad, voice, or scheduled scenes. Integrates with Control4, Savant, Crestron, or whichever platform already runs your home.

From first call to lit and ready.
A predictable path. No surprises. Here is exactly what happens after you reach out.
01
Discovery consultation
We walk the property with you, review any visualizer renders you have generated, and talk through how you actually use the space after dark.
02
Custom lighting design
Our team designs a fixture-level plan tuned to your home. Fixture counts, placements, beam spreads, color temperatures, and scenes all mapped before anything is ordered.
03
Professional installation
Livewire technicians install, configure, and commission the system. Wiring is clean, fixtures are aimed, scenes are dialed in. Documented for long-term supportability.
04
INVISION support
From the moment the system is live, 24/7/365 remote monitoring begins. Seasonal adjustments, fixture drift, and long-term care are all part of how we work.
INVISION

Cost depends on property size, number of zones, fixture selection, and control integration. A focused project around the front elevation is a different investment than whole-property lighting. We share a realistic range during the consultation once we understand scope. No guesses before we know what you actually want.
A focused exterior lighting project typically installs in a few days. Larger whole-property systems take longer depending on trenching, fixture counts, and control integration. We share a realistic timeline as part of the design so there are no surprises.
