Outdoor Lighting · Hendersonville, TN
Light TN is a landscape lighting designer based in Burns, serving Hendersonville and the Old Hickory Lake shoreline — every system designed on-site and rendered before we dig.
Outdoor Lighting in Hendersonville, TN
Hendersonville is a lake town — built along twenty-six miles of Old Hickory Lake shoreline, the most of any city on it. The luxury splits between the waterfront, where estates run down to private docks, and the inland communities like Durham Farms and Pennington Farms, where new construction sits on generous lots. Light TN is a landscape lighting designer based in Burns, and we design outdoor lighting in Hendersonville for the lot it sits on — at the water or away from it.
On the water, the property has to read three ways — from the house, the yard, and a passing boat — so the light has to stay off the lake itself. Away from it, the homes range from sleek modern to stately traditional, built to entertain on large decks, walk-out basements, and pools. Each lot — the shoreline descent, the facade, the deck and the gardens — wants light designed to its own conditions.
Light TN runs each Hendersonville project the same way. Daryl Bentfield walks the property, you approve a photorealistic rendering before we dig, installation meets licensed contractor CE-D: 76580 standards, and we return after dark to aim every fixture. We bury wire trenchless so an established lakeside lawn or a new-build sod stays whole — the work behind more than 500 Middle Tennessee projects since 2020.
Outdoor Lighting Services in Hendersonville
Hendersonville's lakefront lots slope to the water, and its inland estates carry mature trees and gardens. We moonlight specimen trees, light the descent to a dock with step lights, and keep every beam off Old Hickory Lake — all rendered before we dig.

Hendersonville has more Old Hickory shoreline than any city on the lake, and its waterfront lots are defined by the water's edge. We light the shoreline and the descent to the dock, aimed off the surface, so the property reads from the house and the water while the lake stays dark.
The luxury here splits between lakefront estates and inland communities like Durham Farms and Pennington Farms — new construction on generous lots. A sloped lakeside lot and a flat new build ask for different designs, so we light each to its own ground rather than one template.
Hendersonville homes are built around large decks, walk-out basements, and pools, with the whole property aimed at lake recreation. We light those spaces to be used after dark and design the audio and smart control alongside them, so the back of the house works as one environment.
Lakefront & Estate Hendersonville Homes
Lighting a Hendersonville property depends on whether it touches the water. A lakefront lot slopes toward Old Hickory and reads three ways — from the house, the yard, and a passing boat — so the design has to keep light off the lake itself. An inland lot in Durham Farms or Pennington Farms is flatter and more enclosed, with neighbors closer, and asks for a different plan. We design to the ground in front of us, not one approach for the whole town.
On the water, the aim is everything. A fixture tilted a few degrees too high lays a glare line across the surface, so we light the shoreline trees and the path to the dock from above and behind, shielded and aimed down the bank. Where wire must cross an established lawn, we bury it with the L2 Line Layer — the only machine of its kind in the market — so the bank and turf stay whole.
Hendersonville lives on the lake, and the homes are built for it — large decks, pools, dock areas, and the gardens between them. We light those spaces to be used after dark and design the audio and smart control alongside them, so a property reads as one composed environment from the back door to the water's edge.

FAQ
No — the studio is in Burns, and Light TN comes to Hendersonville and the Old Hickory shoreline for the work. Daryl Bentfield walks the property for the on-site assessment, at the water's edge or inland, so the design is drawn on the actual lot, slope, and view.
Light TN designs landscape, architectural, and roofline lighting, outdoor audio, smart control, full installation, commercial lighting, and trenchless wire burial — usually as one coordinated system for a Hendersonville property rather than separate add-ons.
Yes — keeping light off Old Hickory Lake is the discipline of a Hendersonville waterfront design. Light TN aims and shields every fixture so the shoreline and the descent are lit while the lake stays dark, and the only reflection is the sky.
Light TN lights Hendersonville's inland and gated communities as readily as its waterfront — a flatter, more enclosed lot asks for its own plan, with spill controlled to the property line and the system designed to the home's architecture.
No. Light TN keeps fixtures shielded and aimed off the water and buries low-voltage wire with the L2 Line Layer, a trenchless machine and the only one of its kind in the market, so the bank and the lawn above it stay intact.
Light TN lights the whole back of a Hendersonville property — decks, pools, dock areas, and gardens — and designs the audio and smart control alongside it, so the spaces you use after dark work as one environment.
Every Hendersonville project starts with a photorealistic rendering of your property at night, which you approve before any fixture goes in the ground. Changes are made on screen, not in the yard.
Each Hendersonville system is designed to the property, so cost follows its size and scope rather than a set package. Daryl provides a firm number with the design, after walking the property; the on-site design consultation is complimentary.
