The landscape lighting looks amazing. The company was great to work with. They knew exactly what we needed, gave us a quote on the spot and came out a week later and got to work. Would 100% recommend.

Upon first contact, Dave and his crew were very professional. This was a small job, yet they made me feel like it was the most important job they had that day.  I called them for a quote, and they arranged a date to come look at the job in a very timely manner.  Once they arrived to look at what would be involved, they gave me three different options of what could be done and let me decide based on what I wanted the ultimate goal to be.  We live in a 30 year old home and there are always challenges when work like this is to be done. That did not scare them off at all.  They installed a new junction box, as well as the new lampposts (which we bought on our own).  There was an unexpected issue w/wiring between the lampposts, but they took care of it.  The final cost was $50 than the quote, but it was because of having to deal w/ the wiring.  They were very easy to work with and did quality work. I would highly recommend their services if you are thinking about outdoor lighting.

It has the LED lights and some of it had already burned out and we are getting back in touch with them. Our interaction was okay.

They seemed annoyed when I asked about price and about using a coupon I found in the newspaper ads.  It was as if they were giving me such a "great" deal that I shouldn't' be worried about the coupon ($250). Their attitude in general was one of talking down to me and I didn't appreciate that. After all, I am the paying customer and they installed our original outdoor lights to the tune of $8000 in 2007.  In addition, we also switched out lights to LED and found them on the internet for 1/4 of the price they were charging and they were annoyed by that too.  Since the business was sold sometime between 2006 and now, customer service has not been their strong suit.
Response from Outdoor Lighting Perspectives - Raleigh
"We did provide you with multiple pricing options and must have obviously offended you in the manner which we tried to differentiate our LED bulbs vs what can be found on the internet for pennies on the dollar. For this we are extremely sorry for making you feel that way. If I could change your experience, I would. The customer decided to change bulbs themselves after asking us which type and spread to purchase. After they completed bulb change out, we added a few more lights at customers desired locations and also added lens covers for retrofitted lights. They day we completed install, we realized that we were short in the amount of required lens covers, we made a decision to install temporary used covers while we waited on new ones to arrive. We made a mistake of forgetting to mention this to the customer which proved to be a mistake as she took it as us trying to install used equipment, which was never our intention. As far as pricing goes, we had already reduced the price after some negotiations and then customer wanted to add coupon on top of reduced price which would not have allowed us to install job at necessary price to maintain profit. We very much regret how this was perceived. Our bulb pricing that was 75% percent higher than found on the internet included the installation of the bulb, cleaning and trimming shrubbery that had grown over the lights, re aiming of all the lights, and a 5 year warranty on our bulbs. If any of our customers want to change their own bulbs, we have no problem with that, however most bulbs found in open market place that are inexpensive turn out to be exactly what you paid for, poor lumen output, poor color quality, inconsistent color output bulb to bulb, and shorter life than expected. Sometimes you can get lucky and very much hope that is the case with the bulbs you purchased. If there is anything we can do at this point to make you feel better, please let me know. We greatly value your and everyone elses business. Our bulbs are one of the few that are rated IP-67 which means it is submersible in water, most others are rated IP-65 which means it can be in a damp location. Again, please forgive us for coming up short on your expectations."

The company did what they said they would do, when they said they would do it and the result was fantastic.  We have received a lot of comments about the appearance of our house and we like the way Outdoor Lighting Perspectives works.  They actually put the lights in where they are proposing in a temporary way before you approve their quote so that you know what you will get and how it will look before you say yes or no.  They also have been around a long time and you know that they will support their installations.  We had a cut wire when we made sprinkler modifications this spring and they came out and fixed it at no charge.  We would highly recommend them and are thinking about a future add-on to what we have.

Great!  Installation was simple and easy - I spoke with the installers and explained what I wanted. I love the way the house looks at night and I also feel more secure knowing the house is lit when I come home after dark, or we're away for the weekend.  Esthetically, the house looks better but for security purposes, I'm really glad we did this!  Hope to upgrade or add some more lighting in the natural area this Spring/Summer.

We purchased an Angie's list special for the installation of the 6 outdoor lights along with the wiring and a transformer in the fall.  The installation was done promptly and professionally.  We have enjoyed the lighting for the last 6 months.  Everything has worked extremely well with no problems.   We would highly recommend this company to anyone interested in outdoor lights and we will use them again for any additional lighting needs.

David came to our home outside of his regular business hours in order to accommodate our schedule. He was pleasant, knowledgeable and prompt. He suggested optimal placement for our new fixtures and completed the work when it was scheduled. He also provided guidance and made recommendations for landscaping work we want to do.

David is a terrific guy and is very professional.

We plan to use him again soon!

21feb2015: David installed three new light fixtures to highlight some crape myrtle trees we added to our front yard. The area truly looks gorgeous thanks to Cat Valand, Fine Lines Landscaping and OUtdoor Lighting Perspectives! We also needed OLP to come back to fix what turned out to be a problem with the wiring for our deck lights that was done by a handyman several years ago. David returned several times in order to diagnose & fix the problem. In fact, he re-wired the entire setup to correct the previous installer's work! So, not only does he back up his own work, he takes care of issues he finds in existing lighting configurations! Use this guy! Not only is he competent and reliable but he goes the extra mile (and beyond!) when problems arise!

Outdoor Lighting Perspectives did an excellent job with our exterior home lighting.   David and Ryan were very personable, and provided good advice on where to place the lights.   Installation was quick, and the house looks great.   We feel good about the overall value, and would definitely recommend Outdoor Lighting Perspectives to friends.

We thought we were having company come over but it turns out they aren't. At this time we do not have a need for the deal.
