Homeowners can take advantage of sunny days with outdoor living spaces. When you create an outdoor living space around your pool, you will be able to encourage your family and friends to spend time outdoors and enjoy some fresh air. With today’s busy lifestyles, families want to be able to enjoy their outdoor living spaces every minute of the day—even after dusk. Lite Visions Landscape Lighting offers several outdoor lighting techniques which can achieve a dramatic look while providing a safe, cozy, people-friendly environment. This is a recent lighting job we designed and installed in Wakefield.
EXHIBITOR SPOTLIGHT: LITE VISIONS LANDSCAPE LIGHTING INC.
Feb 12, 2019
We’re excited to have Lite Visions Landscape Lighting join us at the Fairgrounds Southern Ideal Home Show. Lite Visions Lighting Designer Joe, went from lighting up the stars to lighting under the stars with his outdoor lighting, architectural lighting and landscape lighting design firm Lite Visions. Lite Visions landscape lighting is located in Raleigh NC and currently services the following areas: Apex, Cary, Chapel Hill, Clayton, Durham, Fuquay Varina, Garner, Goldsboro, Holly Springs, Knightdale, Morrisville, Raleigh, Smithfield, Wake Forest and Zebulon. Lite Visions is not a lighting franchise, which anyone can purchase. Lite Visions is locally owned lighting design and installation company. They pride themselves in delivering the best LED Outdoor Fixture, workmanship and customer service to our clients in Raleigh and the surrounding areas. We do custom outdoor lighting to both residential and commercial properties.
Before seeing the team at booth #2347, get to know more about them in our brief interview below.
Describe your products and services.From Lighting the Stars to Lighting Under The Stars: Lite Visions Owner and Raleigh Native, Joe went from working with Concert acts Whitney Houston, Tim Mcgraw and Alan Jackson to the Christmas Sensation The Trans Siberian Orchestra as a Lighting Technician and Lighting Designer. Joe is now designing and installing unique outdoor and architectural lighting in the NC area. We also update older outdoor lighting systems. Please see our 5 star reviews on google.
What is your best home or garden tip for the season? If you are considering outdoor lighting, please make sure the person you use knows what they are doing. I see jobs where the job looks cheap due to the fact someone put lights under the windows of the home instead of lighting up the architecture of the home. Or they installed a transformer in plain sight of the front of the home. A number of people install lights, that does not mean they are lighting designers. I paint pictures with light.
What are your featured deals this season? I offer a show discount of 5% off any lighting design and installation within 30 days of the home show. I work with companies who offer the best products and warranty available in the professional outdoor lighting industry. I stand behind my installations and get many referrals because of that.
What are your home and garden pet peeves? Seeing a BAD lighting job when I drive out of a neighborhood in the evening knowing some homeowner paid good money for that job and does not know the difference. We are not a lighting franchise that can be sold to anyone wanting to open a franchise business. We do not sell or install inferior products just to make a profit. All of our products have the best professional warranty available to the lighting professional. As a lighting designer. I want to walk into a home and see what the owner’s view is outside to paint a beautiful picture with lighting that they can view. Some installers just put up a few lights that people riding by the home can see, that is not a lighting design. But what their franchise told them to sell as a package. Some companies stick lights in the ground and never come back to see how they look at night.
What is the strangest client request you’ve ever received? To light a big tree in a front yard that I would not have chosen to light, the couples son had recently passed away and he had planted that tree for his mom. When I heard that story I lit that tree for no charge.
What is your favorite part of the home show? Meeting and making friends from all walks of life and hearing the ohhs and ahhs from them the first time we turn their new lighting on. I recently did a lighting design and spent alot of time with the client over several evenings. He was so in awe of what the initial lighting looked like that we installed more lighting and he was like a kid with a new toy. I am passionate about my lighting designs.
Any additional information you’d like people to know? Professional outdoor landscape lighting is not cheap, I work with an interior designer who says “Do it right and you only cry once”. My designs include seeing the effects not the light source.I work with many different types of fixtures, lamps,color temperatures,filters and shields. Maintenance is a must,I can’t tell you how many old installs I get called to look at where a fixture or cable has grown into a tree.

I spoke with 5 landscape light companies to replace my existing system. Lite Visions is truly professional and the system installed is 10x more dynamic than any others I have looked at. It is well worth the price!

We selected Lite Vision Landscape Lighting Inc to design and install accent lighting for our home and we couldn't be more pleased. Choosing to work with Joe, a professional landscape lighting designer with a background in stage lighting, was absolutely well worth the investment.
Joe just didn't demo a lighting package, but educated us on the proper use of lighting and techniques that would be used to enhance the architectural features unique to our home and landscape. This extra step helped us appreciate the final design and installation even more.
It's been a year and we are still extremely pleased with the design, the product and the service. So pleased, we have asked Joe to design and install landscape lighting for our backyard.
We can't say enough about Lite Vision Landscape Lighting Inc. We highly recommend Joe for your lighting project.

Joe is a magician with light!
Being a magician is not his only strength, he is also really good at the customer service aspect of his business: He listens well, tells you what will work, and sets up evening demonstrations to give you an idea of what the finished product will look like. His after-install service is also excellent, we had some minor failures after a couple of days and he came back right away to resolve the problem and replace the failed hardware. I will be using him again shortly!

Joe is not just a lighting installer, he’s a creative artist, a lighting luminary! He produces ambiences that illicit positive emotions with each experience. Joe is passionate about lighting and takes extreme pride in his work and educating customers on proper lighting. Most may not know this, but Joe ran concert lighting for some the highest acclaimed musical artist in sold out arenas, hence his unique and experiential approach to landscaping lighting. He considers the small but transformative details that others don’t, and that is what makes him the best in the business.
When you work with Joe you can expect the following: A great customer experience, excellent communication, superior service, the best quality, and exceeded expectations! Here are a few pictures of patio lights Joe installed for me. My wife and I love our patio and the ambiance created by Joe’s lights. Our neighbors and guests always compliment how nice our patio looks at night with the lights.
I am looking forward to working with Joe on a couple of more lighting projects. Once you have worked with the best, you don’t want to work with anyone else.
Thanks Joe!

Joe did a great job on our project. He brought a great knowledge base and creative vision to our large project, and was very responsive to a tight deadline for an event we were up against. He was also conscious about what is practical for maintenance with landscaping crews. The end result is fantastic and I’m really re-inspired by our property now ! Absolutely gorgeous.

This is the best decision we made to have Joe come and transform our curb appeal by his deep expertise, passion and unique eye for lighting. He is an artist and a true professional. He is fair in his pricing and dedicated to delighting customers. We can't wait to do more lighting with you in the future. Don't look any further, I don't know how you could have a better experience and result than Lite Visions! He also recommended Woody with Carolina Professional Landscapes to do some refreshing of our beds and plant varieties and it made a huge difference. If you need both, they are the dream team!

I came in with a vision for what I wanted for my back yard patio, but Lite Visions showed me that I could have been aiming much higher. I'm nothing but pleased with how it turned out. The quality of the product and the service is very good, and they worked with me and my schedule to get things set up quickly and conveniently. Joe really, truly understood what I needed and was able to get the project done.

Joe did a great job of lighting our house. He’s very nice, talented, and shows up when he says he will. I wanted the lights to accentuate house, not so lit up that it’s like a runway. Because he has a background with doing lighting for concerts, he knew where to place the light for best results, not just randomly placing them anywhere. After driving around neighborhood, our lighting is also ‘softer’ - not so bright and definitely not as white. You don’t think too much about that (at least I didn’t), until you look at everyone else’s. Personally, I think ours look better. It’s nice because he’s the owner and installer. We are very pleased that we went with him.
