Contemporary outdoor lighting systems are a smart investment. Professionally installed and maintained outdoor lighting systems will increase the value and resale of residential and commercial properties while simultaneously making it the showcase of the area.

Properly installed low voltage lighting casts a beautiful glow while remaining extremely economical and safe to operate especially when compared to their line voltage system counterparts.

Architectural lighting systems are both practical and elegant. Homeowners can enjoy more hours outside in the comfort of their own homes while creating an elegant atmosphere for entertaining.

Industrial specification grade lighting systems are expandable so they can be adapted as properties are expanded and/or owners’ needs change.

In addition to their beauty, outdoor lighting fixtures offer increased lighting for safety and security. An outdoor lighting system is the cure for any building or area masked in darkness.

NiteLites also explained that the best fixtures are comprised of solid brass and copper with an acid etched finish so that there is no chipping of paint or rusting of the fixtures.

Since lighting systems often start at $2500.00 and may go up to the hundreds of thousands of dollars, NiteLites recommends researching to find a reliable company with national presence that will stand behind its warranty. Since trees, shrubs, and grasses grow and wind and other elements can wreak havoc with lighting systems, NiteLites states that it is also important to find a company that offers a viable maintenance program to keep the lighting investment operational year round.

To sum it up, President and CEO Thomas A. Frederick of NiteLites Franchise Systems, Inc. explains the process this way “Start with a (landscape lighting) company that will show you exactly how your property will look after lights are installed, review the written estimate and the warranty. Then check references, drive by some projects lit by the company, and finally research the size and longevity of the company standing behind lighting system. It is not a difficult process, and it is well worth the time to avoid dealing with a less than reputable lighting company.” He also added, that perhaps as much as 25% of their work comes from people who bought systems that no longer work, and that often the original company is no longer in business.

NiteLites’ world headquarters located in Franklin, Ohio specializes in the manufacturing, sales, design, installation, and life time maintenance of top quality low voltage lighting for both residential and commercial applications. With locations in 33 cities, NiteLites founded in 1998 previously was distributor based and converted to a franchise model in 2004.
