We saw Douglas work on other houses in our neighborhood very impressive and smartly designed. I was so impressed with his ability to show my home in the evening with his positioning with lights I had him come back to complete my home with the backyard. I have a highly landscaped backyard and the lighting was placed perfectly.
We recently had exterior landscape lighting installed at our home by Landscaping Lighting Resources, and the entire experience was excellent from start to finish. Doug was professional, knowledgeable, and very easy to work with throughout the project. He took the time to understand what we wanted and provided great recommendations that really enhanced the look of our home.

A special shoutout to Marcus, who handled the installation. He was punctual, detail-oriented, and did an outstanding job with the setup. The lighting turned out even better than we expected and completely transformed the exterior appearance of our home at night.

Doug was very professional and timely with his presentation. Marcos, the installer was very efficient, and friendly. Our house now looks like Versailles..........all at a very reasonable price
I was very pleased with the entire experience on our outdoor lighting. The initial estimate was accurate and precise in exactly what work was going to be performed. The installation of the lighting was done professionally. In addition, the clean up was done well so you wouldn't even know that lighting had been installed. I would call Landscape Lighting Resources again if we need any additional lighting and I would recommend them to anyone interested in outdoor lighting.
We have been enjoying our gorgeous outdoor lighting for over 3 months now, and it is definitely one of the best and most enjoyable enhancements that we have made to our home on Lake Norman! The Owner of Landscape Lighting is as artistic as he and his extremely talented technician Marcus are technical experts! We are not quick to trust, but you can and should trust Douglas Meinhard and his tech. They are very talented, and their superior work with quality lights is truly transformative. And here's a hint: if you are debating whether to do more or less lighting, do more! We are so glad that we did! We are truly grateful for such an enjoyable and cost effective outcome, including the notable security factor as well. Thank you both so much, Doug and Marcus!
My house looks great. Whenever I have a bulb out they come and replace them, or repair issues.
What a difference! The crew from Lanscape Lighting Resources made suggestions, created a design and implemented a transformative install. Fast and reliable.
A pleasure working with them, during design, installation and service. They have high quality fixtures and parts.
I manage Baxter Community in Fort Mill, and working with Landscape Lighting Resources has been a pleasure. Their work is high quality and they stand behind their service. What very few issues we have had, they have come out to the community right away and made it right.
I have gotten an overwhelming number of compliments from residents on all the lighting work they have done to date. A big thank you to Deanna and the team for what they do. Baxter will certainly be working with them again in the future.

Frequently Asked Questions

I’m tired of climbing ladders to fix burnt-out lights. How long do these really last in the rain and snow?

Think of these less like “light bulbs” and more like the screen on your smartphone, there’s no thin wire to break or burn out.

  • Most of these lights are designed to last 5 to 7 years (approximately 50,000 hours) before you even notice them getting slightly dimmer. There are, however, several environmental factors that can shorten their lifespan. These include:
    • Power surges caused by fluctuations in current from your supplier and surges caused by lightning strikes in your area.
    • High humidity, typical of Charlotte’s changing weather.
    • Material Expansion (Freeze-Thaw Cycles). For those in four-season climates, the weather itself can physically break the bulb. Materials like plastic, glass, and metal expand and contract at different rates when they get hot in the sun and freezing at night.
  • Built to Last: Unlike the cheap plastic lights from big-box stores, professional LEDs are “sealed.” This means bugs, moisture, and dust can’t get inside to cause a short circuit. You can truly “set it and forget it.”
  • We install a “Thermistor” in our bulbs. This is a device that regulates the internal temperature of the bulb. This prevents the buildup of heat in the sealed fixture. Heat destroys bulbs.
I don’t want that bright, bluish-white light. Can I get a look that’s pleasant?

Absolutely. Modern LEDs can perfectly mimic the warm glow of a candle or an old-fashioned halogen bulb.

  • Adjustable Brightness: We can modify brightness through bulb selection and in some fixtures, by adjusting the brightness within the fixture.
  • Warmth Levels: We use “warm white” tones that make brick look rich and plants look lush, not washed out.
I’m not a tech genius. Do I need a computer just to turn my porch lights on?

It’s simpler than the old mechanical timers that you had to reset every time the power went out.

  • Set it Once: Most systems use “Astronomical Timing.” This means the lights automatically know when the sun sets and rises in your specific zip code. They even adjust themselves for Daylight Savings.
  • Phone Control: If you want to change something, you can do it from a simple app on your phone—just like checking the weather. No more crawling into the garage to fiddle with a dusty timer box. It works with your existing smart home (Alexa/Google/Apple) and adds a layer of futureproofing.
If I leave 20 lights on all night, am I going to go broke paying for electricity?

This is the best part: LEDs use a tiny fraction of the power that old bulbs use.

  • The “Coffee” Comparison: Running an entire professional landscape lighting system for a month usually costs about the same as one or two large lattes.
  • Efficiency: You can typically light up your whole front yard using less electricity than it takes to run a single traditional 100-watt indoor light bulb.
If I buy this now, will it be obsolete and useless in three years?

We install what’s called a “low-voltage backbone.

  • Universal Wiring: The heavy-duty wires we put in the ground are the “highway.” Even if light bulb technology gets even better in 10 years, we can just plug new fixtures into the existing wires.
  • Invest in the Fixture: By choosing high-quality brass or copper housing, you’re buying a “shell” that will last a lifetime. The internal “light engine” can be easily updated down the road without digging up your yard again.
