Services

Eight services, two brands, one crew

Holiday lighting from September through January, and outdoor lighting every month of the year. Everything here is available all year; the seasons only change what we lead with.

Christmas Decorby NeedLites

Seasonal holiday lighting

NeedLites has held the Cincinnati Christmas Decor franchise since 2005. Christmas Decor is a national network of more than 350 franchises across the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico, which is where the product, the training and the warranty come from. The crew on your roof is local.

Design and booking run from late summer; installation runs from October through December, with takedown and storage in January.

Nite Time Decor, Outdoor Lighting Systemsby NeedLites

Year-round outdoor lighting

Nite Time Decor is the year-round half of the business: landscape, architectural, permanent, bistro and event lighting. Every system is designed on the property, at night, and installed with commercial-grade fixtures and hidden runs.

Designed and installed year-round. Winter is often the best time to see what a lighting plan actually needs, because the planting is not hiding anything.

Landscape Lighting

Low-voltage landscape and architectural lighting in solid brass: paths, plantings, trees, facades, walls and water, designed on site after dark.

Not sure which of these you need?

Describe the property and what is bothering you about it after dark. That is usually enough for us to say which service it is, and roughly what it costs, before anyone visits.
