| I received
a flyer in the mail from Lighthouse Lighting earlier this summer and
was drawn to the photos of the homes on the flyer. I immediately noted how artistic
and professional the presentation of night lighting looked in photographs of other
homes. After years of frustration with store bought landscape lighting systems,
I decided to call the local Lighthouse Lighting franchise here in Columbus, Ohio
for a free consultation.
The presentation of night lighting done after hours by Kim Hammond (co-owner)
was once again professional and artistic. He showed me all of the available lights
and demonstrated their individual capabilities on how my home and landscaping
could be accentuated with nighttime lighting. At that point we began determining
how many lights and of what type would be needed. A lighting plan was drawn up
and a price determined. What was unique was the facts that the price was based
on how many lights were to be installed, not on how long the project took. I liked
this approach to pricing. I accepted the proposal immediately.
Light installation began within a few days. Work performed was once again professional
and precise. My home has elaborate and detailed flower beds and landscaping. Attention
to detail was given to each light placed and its surrounding landscaping. Literally
no damage was noted to any flowers or to any existing landscaping. No landscape
cables were exposed and you could not tell that Lighthouse Lights had just installed
a complete set of landscape lights.
After the initial placement of the lights in the lighting diagram, a walk through
was performed at night. At that point it was determined that a few of the lights
needed to be moved and a few of the lights needed to be changed as far as their
directional capability. There was no problem with Lighthouse Lights making these
changes to my satisfaction.
I highly recommend Lighthouse Lighting for your landscape lighting needs. You
get what you pay for and although the cost of the install was higher than expected,
the result was better than expected. The quality of the light fixtures, their
unique design and their lighting capability far outweighed the price. As far as
handling problems after the fact, Lighthouse Lights handled each and every concern
without any hassle or concern on their part. I was relieved at this approach and
I do not see it much these days in other contractors I have hired to do other
projects around my home.
Once again, hats off to Lighthouse Lights. Professional, attentive, and artistic.
This sums up my general opinion of this fine company. I wish Kim Hammond and his
crew at Lighthouse Lights the best of success in lighting homes in and around
central Ohio. Someday I hope that one of their homes can be on the franchise flyer
that they sent to me. Maybe it will be my home.
