The new lighting really brought out the beauty of our trees and plantings in our yard. I'm sure we'll use this area much more now.

Chuck and his great team put a face lift on my back yard a few years ago and provided plenty of "FREE REALSTATE" by lighting up some association trees common areas around my property that added a ton of depth and beauty to my back yard. I recently went on to phase II, replacing old lights from 24 years ago in my front yard, put a new transformer and new wiring in, added lights that not only showed off my yard, but FREE REALESTATE on my neighbor's palm trees and 2 more association trees. Chuck and team lit up the porch, garage, bottom of my house and top. Boy what a great facelift! Daniel, Antonio, and Jason cleaned my existing back yard fixtures from a couple years ago, replaced all the bulbs, and put lights on my house to illuminate my barbeque, back yard for corn hole, fire pit, and dining/game table. Everything looks awesome. You get what you pay for and my wife and I are extremely happy. I would recommend Chuck and his courteous and professional crew any time! Chuck does not just install fixtures, he makes sure your total yard experience is optimized. I like the way he lit up some association trees and association areas which he referred to as " FREE REAL-ESTATE". You definitely get what you pay for, this investment is a great home improvement makeover and will add value to your property. If you have to ask how much, you probably can't afford it...however, I am taking a phased approach to do the back yard first and then the front yard down the road. The workers were courteous, very detailed oriented and professional. I am very happy and more important, my wife is happy!

This is the type of company you'll want to deal with on an ongoing basis. They communicate well, are fairly priced and do high quality work. Not much more you can ask for, right? Hire them and you'll be very pleased with the results.

Most contractors that we've used over promise and under deliver. OC lights promised a good job, and over delivered on it. Chuck is professional, knows his business, is talented in design and his installers probably the best workers we've every had, a true pleasure to have at our house. Couldn't be happier, the lighting is tranquil and restful and in our opinion stunning.

The work, great! The price?? $850 labor only, I had the product for installation. Was told it would take "crew" most of a day. 2 guys show up at 10am, were done by noon and out. $425 an hour was not what I expected. Their profit margin on my job was through the roof...Hmmm
Response from Illuminated Concepts Inc
"Thomas , You are absolutely right, that was a high amount for the time we spent and your should of received your refund check for the adjusted invoice for $276.10 by now. We also used almost 100 feet of direct burial cable and 6 waterproof connectors which was not billed. Normal billing these extra materials would of been $263.90 It is very rare that we install new lighting equipment supplied by clients. It has been my experience that installing lighting equipment from big box stores ends up in a lot of extra labor in assembly fixtures and making the system work to our high standards. In situations like this, we usually have to eat the cost because it actually takes us a lot longer for this type of installation. What I should of done is given you a time and materials price to not exceed a certain dollar amount. Again I am sorry for the inconvenience."

We originally thought we wanted existing lights repaired or replaced. After meeting with Chuck and listening to his suggestions, we happily opted for new LED lights. Our front and back yards are so much more attractive than they were before and we have lights on things we would not have thought to light. For example, architectural highlights of the house.

Illuminated Concepts is a great company and a pleasure to deal with. Phone calls and email were promptly returned and I always got status updates without having to ask. I originally wanted some simple repair work, which Chuck gladly provided a quote for, but I was also interested in all new LED lighting. After looking at the website and brochures, I did all new LED and the results are fabulous. Mike did a great installation job and was very patient as I followed him around asking dozens of questions about the old and new wiring. The new lighting angles really highlight our landscape well and the light color is warm like the old halogen.

Chuck, the owner, visited my home to give me an estimate. It was obvious that hehad extensive knowledge about landscape lighting and provided excellent suggestions to illuminate my home. I was pleased with the workmanship, the end result, and the price of the work.

It was a great experience working with Illuminated Concepts, Inc. They responded quickly to my request for quote and completed the work in one day. They were very professional and knowledgeable about outdoor lighting. I'm extremely pleased with the results and would recommend them to anyone.

They did a great job -- very thorough and did even more than I asked for originally. When the job got more complicated than it seemed at first (lots of roots in the yard) they soldiered on and we ended up with a lawn that looks great (and hopefully will last for a long time!)
