What We Do

Installed by the people
who designed it.

Outdoor lighting installation is the professional placement, wiring, and aiming of an outdoor lighting system. Light TN installs outdoor lighting across Middle Tennessee to licensed contractor CE-D: 76580 standards — by the same studio that designed the plan — with concealed fixtures, clean wire runs buried trenchless, and every fixture aimed after dark.

Light TN is a family-owned lighting designer in Burns, Tennessee. The designer who walks your property is the one who installs and aims the system, across 500+ Middle Tennessee projects since 2020. Installation meets licensed contractor CE-D: 76580 standards and carries a one-year workmanship warranty alongside lifetime manufacturer fixture warranties.

The Craft

One team, design
to aim.

The designer who reads your property installs and aims the system, so nothing is lost in a hand-off. Fixtures are hidden and wire is run cleanly, so you see the effect and never the equipment.

Low-voltage cable is buried trenchless with the L2 Line Layer, transformers are sized with headroom, and every fixture is returned to and aimed after dark — the step most installs skip. The result is lasting performance with a fixture failure rate under 1% a year.

What's Included

Every step of the
installation.

Concealed fixtures and clean runs — fixtures hidden and wire run cleanly, so you see the effect and never the equipment.

Trenchless wire burial — low-voltage cable buried with the L2 Line Layer, the only machine of its kind in the Nashville market, so an established lawn stays intact.

Transformer sizing and zoning — transformers sized with headroom and multi-tap outputs to keep brightness even across the property.

After-dark aiming — we return at night to aim and balance every fixture on the grade, the step most installs skip.

Standards-based work — installed to licensed contractor CE-D: 76580 standards throughout.

Brass and copper fixtures — solid housings that patina rather than corrode, with lifetime manufacturer warranties.

Who It's For

New systems and
failed ones, both.

Outdoor lighting installation suits homeowners installing a newly designed system, properties replacing a failing or poorly installed one, and new construction where wiring is coordinated before the lawn goes in. It also fits estates with large or sloped lots that demand trenchless burial, and owners who want the designer — not a subcontractor — doing the install.

When a system is failing, Light TN assesses and replaces it, redesigning to the property and reinstalling to CE-D: 76580 standards with concealed fixtures and trenchless burial. Middle Tennessee's heavy clay makes trenching across a finished lawn a scar that takes a season to heal, so cable goes in trenchless and your established turf and beds stay whole.

Our Process

From an approved plan,
to a system aimed.

01

Design First

Installation follows an approved plan and rendering, so the work is built to a result you have already seen.

02

Trenchless Burial

Cable is run beneath the lawn with the L2 Line Layer, without trenching across finished turf.

03

Fixture Set

Fixtures are placed and concealed to spec, so you see the effect and never the equipment.

04

Connection & Zoning

The transformer and zones are wired and balanced, sized with headroom for even brightness.

05

Night Aiming

Every fixture is aimed after dark for the final result — the step that completes the installation.

FAQ

Outdoor lighting installation,
answered.

What does professional outdoor lighting installation include?

Light TN's outdoor lighting installation includes concealed fixture placement, clean wire runs buried trenchless, transformer sizing and zoning, and after-dark aiming, all to licensed contractor CE-D: 76580 standards. The studio that designed the plan performs the installation.

Does Light TN install systems it didn't design?

Light TN installs the systems it designs, so design intent carries through to the finished result. A design-first approach means installation follows an approved rendering rather than improvising on site.

Will installation tear up my lawn?

Light TN buries low-voltage cable with the L2 Line Layer, a trenchless machine and the only one of its kind in the Nashville market, so wire reaches the whole property without trenching and an established lawn stays intact.

What is after-dark aiming?

Light TN returns after dark to aim, shape, and balance every fixture on the grade. It is the step that separates a designed system from one simply installed, and most installations skip it.

How long does installation take?

Light TN's installation timeline depends on the size and complexity of the system, with the schedule set after the design is approved. Trenchless burial, fixture setting, wiring, and after-dark aiming each factor into the timeline.

Is the installation guaranteed?

Light TN backs installation with a one-year workmanship warranty and lifetime manufacturer fixture warranties, plus a satisfaction guarantee — if you are not happy with the outcome, you don't pay.

Can you replace a failing existing system?

Light TN can assess and replace a failing or poorly installed system, redesigning it to the property and reinstalling to CE-D: 76580 standards with concealed fixtures and trenchless burial.

How much does outdoor lighting installation cost?

Light TN prices installation with the designed system, based on property size, fixture count, and cable runs. Projects over $10,000 carry a 15% deposit, smaller projects require none, and the consultation is free.
