One of the concert lighting companies I worked with in the mid 90s was Bandit Lights in Nashville. Bandit had a rich history and I had been calling and sending in a resume for a few years. In 1993 as I was just starting a huge tour I called home from my Miami hotel suite to check in with my mom and had a message from a friend at Bandit,he said call they want you to come in and talk about a tour.I went to Knoxville and spoke with the owner and soon went out on the first tour with Dan Fogelberg as the lighting technician. That tour ended and I got a call back in NC could I go out and do a Christmas tour with the Oak Ridge Boys. A little after Christmas I got a call asking if I would thing about relocating to Nashville to work on a tour with a new country artist Alan Jackson on his first headline tour. Nashville turned out to be a nice place and you run into so many artists while at the Kroger shopping. We did a songwriter award show at the Ryman auditorium and not being so country music aware,a nice gentleman came back by my dimmer area side stage and asked if he could sit back there with me . a few minutes later my boss from Bandit called me on the headset and said,Joe how do you know Vince Gill 🙂
I did a few weekend gigs with our account at the time WWF wrestling which carried a huge lighting production,I have to say there is nothing more humorous than fogging up the Undertakers coffin so another wrestler could break it up with an axe during a backstage cutaway scene.
Probably my most memorable tours were with Billy Ray Cyrus who we got to see go from headlining arenas to going down to just one truck to playing casinos. The other side of the coin was being a part of a country tour where Tim Mcgraw was opening for Little Texas with Blackhawk opening,seemed like overnight don’t take the girl came out we did a video shoot and bam suddenly people knew the words and sang it louder than Tim did,we watched Tim turn into the headline act and it could have not happened to a nicer guy.

Below is a very nice video testimonial from one of our customers about our dedication to our lighting designs,we look forward to having you as one of our family members at Lite Visions outdoor landscape lighting.
Lite Visions landscape lighting proudly designs and installs american made outdoor lighting fixtures and transformers. we install only the best outdoor landscape lighting fixtures and transformers available to the outdoor lighting professional and this makes it possible are to really stand behind our installations. Using cheap inferior Chinese products might make us more profit,but in the long run we prefer to give the client better Value and not have to unnecessarily return to the job site.
On a low voltage lighting system the low voltage transformer is the heart and soul of the system,feeding and regulating proper current to the lighting fixtures .
The 2nd most important item in the system is that the LED lamps have proper heat syncs to allow heat in their enclosed lighting fixture to be at a minimum, some cheap inferior LED lamps DO NOT ALLOW PROPER COOLING and operate at temperatures that might cause early lamp failures.
The LED lamps Lite Visions installs have been tested over and over in the field and operate at much cooler temperatures than their competition.
Lite Visions also builds value by using some of the best water tight connections in the outdoor lighting industry to help avoid problems arising from connections. Lite Visions Landscape Lighting cares first and foremost about building client relationships because we are passionate about our long lasting and worry free lighting designs.
LED lights “are on track to cut power consumption for lighting… by over 40 percent.” That would provide annual savings of more than $20 billion for consumers and businesses within a decade. And that in turn would reduce U.S. CO2 emissions by some 100 million metric tons a year.
Money Saving:
As LED Lamps are long lasting ,avg lamp life of 50,000 hours the saving alone on not having to relamp every year or so over the lifetime of outdoor lighting is a huge savings itself.
Little to no heat:
Led lamps produce little to no heat and therefore do not attract insects or pose any risk of hazards that hot halogen lamps could produce when surrounded by mulch and pine straw etc.
Less power consumption:
Led lamps will cost you way less to leave your outdoor lighting system on from dusk to dawn then if you were just using your lighting from dusk till midnight. I personally hate giving money to the power company.
High Quality LED bulbs:
Poor quality, cheap lamps don’t last long. My experience is that if you install quality lamps they do last. Some of my LED bulbs are more than 8 years old and still going strong.
Most landscape lighting customers quickly understand the benefits of converting from halogen to LED, lighting professionals say.
For example, most LEDs have a five-year manufacturer warranty.
Voltage drop:
Most old, all halogen lamped systems installed have some sort of voltage issues,when retrofitting with LED lamps most of these systems that might have a 300 to 100 watt transformer will have their total power consumption lowered to less than half.

Exceptional! That is the quality and level of our professionally installed outdoor lights! Joe did a phenomenal job! He came out and listened to our needs, provided options, set up demos on two nights to ensure we were pleased then installed our lights. We now have people drive by the house at night to look at our beautiful home! We’ve had people inquire about our lights and have commented on how awesome they are. All I can say is don’t fool yourself with any lighting group. Joe at Lite Visions truly understands how color, intensity, angle and type of lighting creates the ambiance needed for the effect that is needed for an outdoor masterpiece! You will not go wrong with him doing your work of art! Harry and Carla Silver
a month ago-Our home is about 100 yards off the road and our driveway winds through the woods. Joe visited with us about 10 days ago and listened intently to what my wife and I wanted to achieve. From the outset it was obvious that Joe is a lighting artist and we trusted his knowledge and creativity in designing and implementing an intriguing lighting plan.
We are delighted with the results! Joe has taken a personal interest in our project and has been a delight to work with- our project has really enhanced our property and we enjoyed our first “lit up” night yesterday.
Joe is a real pro and we are very pleased to have been introduced to him.
We were working with a designer on renovations and she recommended Joe and Lite Visions and we could not be happier with our resort style outdoor lighting. Joe actually suggested not doing the front of our home and instead spending our money in the back yard that we spend most of our our time in. We are so grateful and love spending time in our backyard now and it also takes your eyes away from the other homes behind us now as Joe said it would. Joe comes from a concert lighting background and his eye for design as well as his attention to detail is amazing,he explained why he does not normally use path lights and prefers to instead create moonlight effects with down lighting in trees. We have already given Joe and Lite Visions name to several of our neighbors and could not be more pleased.
Rick1 reviewa month ago-We recently redid our whole backyard. The final piece was the lighting. We found Joe through an online search, he came out and met with us, heard what we wanted, refined that based on his experience, pulled together a demo for us so we could see what it looked like before we decided, and then, once we gave the go ahead, he did the install. We could not be happier! It looks amazing! On top of doing great work, Joe is also super nice, completely dependable (shows up when he says he will, returns phone calls and texts), listens to what you want (when I didn’t like one of the fixtures he proposed, he found a fixture exactly like what I told him I wanted even though it wasn’t one he normally installed), honest (no surprise charges), fast, and completely committed to giving you a great experience as well as great lighting. We would recommend him to anyone and would definitely use him again if we decide to do more outdoor lighting.
We had 5 estimates and decided on Joe with Lite Visions because of his meticulous presentation to us during our initial meeting. Joe is incredible to work with and has transformed out backyard into a beautiful oasis!! He is a lighting expert and super professional from start to finish! We are now saving up to have him do the front of our home as soon as possible. He is highly recommended!!
Joe from Lite Visions recently came up with a outdoor landscape lighting design for my backyard and pool area at my home in Las Vegas.He installed a new WiFi color changing lighting system and I could not be happier with the results. While there are many outdoor lighting companies out there,Joe is a former concert lighting designer and technician. I could not be happier with my new outdoor lighting design .My backyard is like a tropical oasis in the evenings.
Great experience. Clear pride in his work and followed up to make sure I was happy. Lights look great and are much better quality than the big box store options. Hoping my outdoor light trouble shooting is behind me.
Joe replaced our old lighting and has made a great improvement with good quality fixtures and great detail in fixture placement that made our house look fabulous. Thank you Joe!
Joe made a great transformation to our house. The outdoor lighting he installed looks absolutely wonderful. It was a pleasure working with him. I’d recommend Lite Visions to anyone needing outdoor lighting.
Joe from Lite Visions is passionate about what he does with decades of experience. His patience is probably his other greatest asset. He’ll walk you through recommendations and listen to your ideas. He has a great guarantee, extras, and warm personality. It is clear the cost of his services are secondary to his primary goal of helping you.
Joe was super friendly and amazing to work with. Very professional and the work was done so fast! He came over and did a demonstration to make sure we liked everything and we are in love with our uplighting on the front of our home. We would highly recommend him to anyone!2
Decided to go to NC home show at State Fair Grounds and met Joe. He is very professional and extremely creative. He setup a demo system for one night and it looked stunning. Few of my neighbors were impressed as well. So we decided to get the lights installed. He made our home look great in the evening and we love it.
Joe is extremely knowledgeable and a real lighting professional. He installed lights in our front yard and turned a dull looking yard into something very interesting and appealing. He will create a plan and communicate that plan, and then execute it in a dependable, professional way. We have some other areas we are planning to ask Joe to assess for us, due to such a great experience with him.5
I typically don’t write reviews but I couldn’t be more pleased with the professionalism, design and great work that Joe did for me, hence the exception here. He is a true pro who has provided lighting set-design for many major touring acts and he showed the same level of attention to detail in designing an architectural lighting plan for my home. I can’t recommend Joe and Lite Visions highly enough. His work brought the exterior of my home to life. Really happy I responded to his direct mailer and contacted him.6
Joe does the best Landscape lighting in the area! From his music touring days and professional lighting experience he knows the ins and outs of the lighting systems he is installing. I had several quotes from other companies which were more expensive and not as detail oriented as Joe. Joe knows how to add just the right amount of light for the project and has the artistic eye for the best placement. He is honest and will not try to “sell” you on more fixtures. He did a Demo light set up which was invaluable!!!! (Other companies not wanting to do this because they “know where the lights need to go”) If you are spending the money on landscape lighting it is helpful to be a part of the process and see the placement of the lights. We may extend our lighting system in the future and will not use anyone else other than Joe (owner) of Lite Visions!
Joe did an amazing job with the lansdcape lighting in our backyard. He is an expert at what he does and offered lighting ideas that completely changed the look and feel of our yard.6
My decision to open an outdoor lighting design firm came naturally to me,coming from a concert lighting design background for many years.
I worked with bands from local area bands to arena acts from Kool and the Gang, to Whitney Houston to Tim Mcgraw, Alan Jackson and many more concert acts to the Christmas sensation the Trans Siberian Orchestra as a lighting technician.
a few memories from my many years of touring in the music industry
