Outdoor Lighting · Lebanon, TN
Light TN is a landscape lighting designer based in Burns, serving Lebanon and Wilson County — every system designed on-site and rendered before we dig.
Outdoor Lighting in Lebanon, TN
Lebanon goes by Cedar City, named for the red-cedar glades that ring the Wilson County seat, and its character runs from a historic public square to the golf estates of Five Oaks. The edges of town fill with new construction, while the cedar groves give the place a look found nowhere else around Nashville. Light TN is a landscape lighting designer based in Burns, and we design outdoor lighting in Lebanon for the property in front of us — square, golf estate, or new build alike.
Each asks for a different hand. A Five Oaks estate on the golf course wants its fairway frontage and mature landscaping lit as one composition; a home near the historic square, with buildings dating to the late 1800s, asks for warm, restrained light against old brick. New communities like the Villages of Hunters Point come on open lots with young plantings and smart-home wiring. And the cedar that grows here — dense, low, and evergreen — lights differently from a hardwood, so we design to it.
Light TN runs each Lebanon 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 a historic lawn or a new one stays whole — the work behind more than 500 Middle Tennessee projects since 2020.
Outdoor Lighting Services in Lebanon
Lebanon's landscapes run from mature Five Oaks estates to the cedar groves the city is named for. We uplight and moonlight specimen trees, light the dense evergreen cedar differently from a hardwood, graze beds and stone, and light the approach — all rendered before we dig.
View Landscape Lighting in LebanonFrom a Five Oaks estate to the late-1800s buildings near the historic square and new brick-and-Hardie builds, we light each Lebanon facade from its own architecture — warm, shielded, glare-controlled — so it reads at night the way it was built to.

Lebanon's luxury centers on Five Oaks, a golf-and-country-club community of sprawling estates and mature landscaping. A fairway lot rewards a single coordinated plan — specimen trees, the long approach, the architecture — over a scatter of fixtures, lit so the grounds read as one composition.
Lebanon grew up around an 1802 square, with homes and buildings near it dating to the late 1800s. There we light the way we would on any historic property — warm, low, shielded light that complements old brick and the Capitol Theatre's streetscape, hardware out of sight.
Lebanon is Cedar City, named for the dense red-cedar glades around it. A cedar lights differently from a hardwood — low, evergreen, holding its form year-round — so we design to what is actually growing on the lot rather than treating every tree the same.
Lebanon's Estates & Historic Homes
Lighting a Lebanon property starts with what grows on it. This is Cedar City, named for the red-cedar glades that ring it, and a cedar — dense, low, and evergreen — takes light very differently from a tall hardwood. We design to the actual trees on the lot, lighting a cedar to show its form year-round and a hardwood from the canopy, rather than treating every tree the same.
The luxury here centers on Five Oaks, where homes sit on the golf course among mature landscaping. A fairway lot reads from the house, the yard, and the course, so we light it as one composition — specimen trees, the approach, the architecture — with proper zoning across the grounds. 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 turf stays whole.
Near the 1802 square, the homes and buildings are a century or more old, and they ask for restraint — warm, low, shielded light against brick and stone. New communities like the Villages of Hunters Point sit on open lots with young plantings and smart-home wiring, where we design for the landscape now and for what it will become. We light to the property in front of us, not one approach for the city.

Every Lebanon 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 Lebanon 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.
