If anyone is looking to add a few extra landscape lights or get a whole set like we were, I highly recommend Lewis Edgell with Baylites Landscape Lighting Designs!!! He is quick to respond and worked within our budget. As the owner he came out himself and gave us ideas about what would look nice and was there the day of installation as well. I COULD NOT BE MORE PLEASED with the results. Contact to install was maybe a week and a half (with Thanksgiving in there)! USE THIS COMPANY! His pricing was great, as stated he worked with our budget. Outstanding customer service Lifetime warranty from the manufacturer Licensed and insured since 2006 Highly rated on Angie's List and Home Advisor [*** Link removed ***]
Response from Baylites Outdoor Lighting

"Dear Mrs. [Member Name Removed], I greatly appreciate your review and comments, but more importantly how you have treated me as contractor. A few customers even during Christmas fail to realize how hard we work to ensure our customers are pleased with their purchase. You and your husband are my neighbors and are greatly appreciated. I wish you and your family a grand Christmas and New Year. Take care, Lewis Edgell Owner Baylites"

Mr. Lewis, owner, was very professional. He came out the same day I called and gave me a quote. He gave an itemized quote, so I knew exactly what his cost covered. He ordered the equipment needed for my home, and kept me informed about the arrival and the date he would install. My lights were promptly installed upon arrival, and my outdoor lighting is beautiful! Also Mr. Lewis does most of the install himself. He is onsite, and didn't leave until he was certain we were satisfied customers. I would highly recommend Baylites, and will use again.
Response from Baylites Outdoor Lighting

"Good morning Mrs. [Member Name Removed] you and your husband are the reason I love this business. I enjoyed every second working with both of you and feel fortunate to have met you both. Have a grand Christmas. Thank you. Lewis Edgell Owner Baylites"

Well. Lewis was extremely professional, very punctual. We met and gave very good advice on what was best and then finished the job in one day. More importantly he followed up to make sure everything was working properly. I would highly recommend Lewis and Baylites.
Response from Baylites Outdoor Lighting

"Sir thank you for writing a very nice review. Professional high end lighting that carries a 10 year to lifetime warranty can be expensive. However that type of lighting will last you for years trouble free. Truly I enjoyed working with you and your wife and look forward to serving your lighting needs in the future. I sincerely thank you for contacting me. Lewis Edgell Owner Baylites Outdoor Lighting"

From my first phone conversation with Lewis, I knew he was going to be great to work with. Lewis was able to come out on the same day to discuss my lighting plans and offered his professional recommendations from a non-salesman perspective which was very much appreciated. Lewis was professional and a perfectionist throughout the entire process. The lighting design he installed for us looks absolutely stunning and my wife and I couldn't be happier. Lewis, thanks for providing us with the perfect client experience and a visual lighting paradise that I know we will be enjoying for years to come.
Response from Baylites Outdoor Lighting

"Sir, I had such a grand experience working with you. Your home, setting, landscaping is just beautiful, lighting enhance a lovely setting.

You have so many places for you and your family to explore now and experience the beauty of your property. I am thankful you called and know that I will always take care of your lighting needs. Thank you, Lewis Edgell Owner Baylites"

I live in a very dark area surrounded by woods; I was concerned for my safety when entering the house at night, as I didn’t have proper lighting around the walkway. I have three Great Danes that I need to walk and I felt like it was just too dark to walk them safely. After contacting Baylights, owner of the company, Mr. Edgell, came out personally to offer recommendations and provide an estimate. After speaking with Mr. Edgell, I felt that he was very innovative with his ideas, suggesting ways that I could make my home more beautiful and safe at the same time. What an amazing transformation! High end lighting fixtures were placed around my walkway, and accent lighting placed around trees, turning my home into an almost magical place, it is beautiful! It is now warm and welcoming; the lights show off my landscaping, making my yard a place I can hardly take my eyes off at night and it feels much safer! Baylites completed the work promptly and were great about not leaving anything behind except beautiful lights around my home. Mr. Edgell is very passionate and professional with his lighting business and the end results showed. He’s even followed up several times to ensure that I was happy with customer service and the end product! I highly recommend the Baylites if you were considering low-voltage lighting around your home! I wish I done it much sooner!

Lewis quickly responded when the handyman couldn't find the break and he repaired it restoring out beautiful outdoor landscaping lights. He wouldn't take payment though the problem was created by somebody else. He then arranged to have the cable buried properly where we had dug it up looking for the break. He has been responsive above and beyond the call of duty since we first started working with him.
Response from Baylites Outdoor Lighting

"Sir, I greatly appreciate your comments. My purpose in owning and operating Baylites is professional service to my customers 365, whether you have a newer system or one that has a lot of issues. I am glad you called and your repair was made to your satisfaction. Thank you, Lewis Edgell Owner Baylites"

Lewis was very prompt, courteous, respectful, and professional from beginning to the end of our project. He's an expert in his field and very meticulous throughout the process. Most important was that he carefully listened to our requirement and offered sound advice and suggestions. Additionally, Lewis places a great emphasis on longevity of the system. This is accomplished by using top quality parts and material and the best techniques and practices that will effectively seal up components for years to come. Further, he is true to his word in regard to his warranty. If there are any glitches, he's true to his word to make it right. He cares deeply about both his reputation and having satisfied customers for years to come. We are very happy with our landscape lighting system! It was absolutely the best decision to hire Lewis! A++++++++++++++
Response from Baylites Outdoor Lighting

"Dear Sir, from the moment I met you and Mrs. [Member Name Removed] I realized your lives and home where very special. There was a quality of life and purpose that was understood by me within seconds of our discussions. Your home and it's history, transformation and your designs, made this lighting project one of special attention. Special but so much fun, why? Beautiful happy, creative couple that expressed in writing by diagram and then in person their lighting needs. In summary a lovely family, home and serious history in our country and state, grand landscaping. Truly for me this was a wonderful gift to be a part of your home transitioning and adding lighting. I am sincerely thankful for your invitation for helping you with your lighting your beautiful home. We are a good team. Looking forward to taking care of your lighting needs now and into the future. You both are greatly appreciated. Take care, Lewis"

Great. A little pricey but the quality and service were great.
Response from Baylites Outdoor Lighting

"Dear Mrs. [Member Name Removed], thank you for your review. Yes equipment that comes with a lifetime warranty from the manufacturer is pricey. But the most important part is Baylites will take care if your lighting needs for years to come. I retired from the United States Marshals Service in 2006 and started my business for several primary reasons, I love lighting and taking care of my customers. I greatly appreciated you allowing me to serve you. Thank you. I wish for you and your family a grand New Year. Take care, Lewis Edgell Owner Baylites."

My wife and I recently bought our first home and since the first day we moved in we wanted exterior lighting. We chose to go with Lewis at Baylights Outdoor Lighting because of his super quick response and superb professionalism. This was the single best decision we ever could have made for our home. It's so hard to find good Companies like this who actually care these days and because of Lewis we will recommend Bayligts to everyone!!! We initially told Lewis our budget and he perfectly matched our beautiful outdoor lighting with exactly what we had in mind. We are customers for life and could not be happier. Thanks Baylights!!!

I called Mr. Edgell, and he came immediately. He replaced three bulbs at no charge, he reset the transformer and checked all lighting. Mr. Edgell adjusted the lighting for the best effect. He cut bushes that were blocking some of the lights and made sure all the lights were working properly. I have recommended Baylites to my friends. My neighbors have used Mr. Edgell, and they have been happy with his prompt and professional service.

"Dear Mrs. [Member Name Removed] I have really enjoyed taking care of your lighting system for a number of years especially after learning a long time ago you had lighting at your previous home and knowing that your lights create a sense of safety and security for you. Please know you can call on me at time, taking care of my customers is my only purpose in owning this business. I sincerely thank you for your business and trust in me. Take care, Lewis Edgell"

It went great. Lewis responded promptly to the email I sent and arranged a suitable time to come and look at the situation. On arrival he took the time need to find the cut (not where I thought it was,) and repaired it. He would not accept any money for the repair though we would have been more than happy to pay him for coming out and spending approximately 1.5-2 hours finding and fixing the issue. It was totally not his fault the line was cut. If we install any more outdoor lighting as we continue to slowly get our yard fixed up Lewis would be the first person we would contact, and we would not hesitate to recommend his company

The initial installation went well, but what really shows how Baylights and Lewis go over and above is when he came back at night and worked with me on making adjustments to the lights. I ended up ordering a couple more lights to highlight an additional area of the bed. I am very happy with the final outcome of the landscape lighting. Job well done Lewis!!!

In reference to pricing, I provided a $495.00 discount for being an Angies List member, along with a free $395.00 maintenance contract from Baylites. A total value of $895.00 value. Please let me know how to be a service to you in the future. I sincerely thank you for contacting me. Take care, Lewis Edgell Owner Baylites"

I have used Baylites for my outside lighting since 2013. The owner Lewis Edgell, is a retired United States Marshal who handles lighting as if he was still on the job for his past career. This means taking care of business fast and professionally, as well as advising me on security which is very important to me. As in the past, I did secure two additional estimates. Mr. Edgell came in approximately 40% less and provided great warranties as well as follow-up which the other companies did not provide. In addition I received a $495.00 Angie's List discount. Baylites is the way to go for all your landscape lighting.

Louis was on time, responsive, attentive and responsible. He followed up on any questions and was a pleasure to work with. If he was going to be as much as 5 minutes late due to traffic he alerted us, which we greatly appreciated. He was knowledgeable about his products and while he had suggestions about additional lighting he was not pushy. We will mostly likely have him back to add additional lighting as our budget permits. The lighting itself is quite beautiful.

Baylites owner, Ray Edgell, met with me and carefully listened to my preferences and vision for my home. He made professional recommendations, all the while reminding me that it was my home and my vision. After agreeing on a plan and quote, all preparations were detailed and readied. The installation took place right on time, and it was done perfectly. Ray came by our home the next evening after we returned from out of town. He showed us the system he had installed and demonstrated the operation of the remote. We loved how our home looked so much that we asked Ray to install 8 more lights. Ray installed the additional light the next day. We are so pleased with our outdoor lighting. It adds so much to the beauty of our home. Our neighbors have made many positive comments. We are very satisfied with the job performed by Baylites and would recommend this company to any one looking for beautiful outdoor lighting.

Lewis was very responsive and immediately came to the house to see what we had in mind and to figure out if he could accommodate our timeline. He was very thoughtful on the placement of each light and adjusted the lighting to suit our vision and to keep the lighting balanced. He used quality lighting, was punctual, communicative, professional and achieved the look we wanted in the time we needed. Most of all, Lewis was a joy to work with! We would HIGHLY recommend Baylites to anyone.

Lewis, the owner, is a real professional with a keen eye and instinct for enhancing a property utilizing the latest landscape lighting technology.  The cost was significant but we truly believe Baylites' work and services will more than pay for itself when the time comes to sell our home.  My wife's first impression seeing our yard at night was "I love it, I love it, I love it" and week later her comment was "Lewis nailed it".

The outstanding architectural design of your home with unique landscaping throughout made lighting so very interesting and stunning. I sincerely thank you for contacting Baylites and please know I will take care of your lighting needs for years to come. Thank you, Lewis Edgell Baylites"

We couldn't be happier with the landscape lighting.  We had no idea our home would look so grand yet warm and inviting, it's amazing what Baylites did for our property.   
Company owner was at all times onsite and Mr. Edgell has the "3 P's" I look for in a businessman: punctuality, professionalism and personable. 
Thank you so much!
