Bistro Lighting in Sunset Hills, Greensboro, NC 27403.
PROJECT SUMMARY: A new trend in the landscape lighting industry is taking off. More and more clients are choosing to incorporate these lights into their backyard, patios, decks, pergolas, and outdoor kitchens. If you’ve never heard of bistro lights before, you may have heard them by another name.
String Lights
Bar Lights
Festoon Lights
Festive Lights
Edison Bulb Lights
Globe Lights
Cafe String Lights
Italian String Lights
Outdoor Patio Lights
Carnival Lights
This client in the Sunset Hills Neighborhood of Greensboro, NC was adamant about wanting Bistro Lights strung over his new landscape and patio after he had just recently been to an upscale restaurant on their outdoor patio and fell in love with these string lights.
Even though this lighting design was simple, Southern Lights still spent time developing the layout and lighting design. During the design phase, Southern Lights provided the customer with additional lighting options that could be added onto down the road.
The goal with any outdoor lighting design is to capture the essence of the subject, (in this case, the home), for our clients, creating the most ideal landscape lighting effect.
LANDSCAPE LIGHTING FOCUS: The patio was definitely the main focus for this outdoor lighting system. Re-creating the beautiful dining experience this couple had just experienced at a local upscale restaurant was important.
When talking with our clients, Southern Lights always tries to listen for what’s most important from our client’s perspective. In this case and in our company motto of (Safety. Security. SERENITY), All three of these focuses played an equal role in these lighting designs.
Safety lighting was needed to address the elevation changes at the front entrance.
Security lighting was needed to help illuminate a very dark home and provide reflective lighting back onto the front yard.
SERENITY lighting is always needed to give the space and property a clean and natural lighting design during evening hours.
Brick Paver Patio
Lush Landscape
Elevation Changes / Steps
New Construction of Screened Porch/Patio and Garage
LOCATION: The lighting designs and installation for this project can be found in Sunset Hills, Greensboro, NC 27403.
LANDSCAPE LIGHTING DESIGN: Ideal landscape lighting should evoke Safety. Security. SERENITYand should always start with a design. Southern Lights likes to start with “The End in Mind,” meaning that our lighting designs and installations are built for flexibility and additions as plant material grows and changes or additional outdoor landscape lighting is desired.
Adequate lighting with a lot of flexibility was Southern Lights main objective. There would be times where the lighting needs would require 100% intensity, and others where only a low level light was desired. For this reason, we installed an in-line dimmer switch that can allow the bistro lights to range in brightness levels.
Southern Lights has the opportunity to work with a lot of amazing clients and this couple was no different. Their love for their home shined through in their appreciation for the beautifully illuminated outdoor landscape lighting on this property.
LANDSCAPE LIGHTING DESIGN TECHNIQUES & EFFECTS:
Bistro Lights
Down Lighting
Washing
HURDLES TO OVERCOME: Designing an ideal landscape lighting system takes planning. Getting light to the right place takes some skill and time to coordinate installing wire to the desired fixture location.
This project was designed to run on a 12v transformer instead of 120v. This meant that our clients could add on additional landscape lighting down the road into the existing infrastructure. Each strand of string lights needed to be custom cut to fit the space.
Southern Lights uses high-quality, commercial grade string lights unlike what homeowners can find in the big box stores or online. We custom cut our lines to the perfect length from long rolls to ensure we can create a clean design and install.
Sometimes it can be difficult to explain the difference in cost for this style lighting system. A few of the main differences you’ll find from Southern Lights and other low-cost string lights can be found below:
High-Quality, Commercial Grade String Lights
Custom Cut Lengths to Fit Specific Needs
Heavy Duty Sockets
Premium Connections
Custom Socket Wire Styles
Edison Style LEDs
Dimmable
12v- Low Voltage instead of 120v
This client ultimately trusted Southern Lights with the lighting designs allowing us to provide them with the most ideal landscape lighting effect with the best lighting fixtures for the space and structures. We think it turned out pretty awesome!

The crew there did an awesome job, from meeting with me to showing me all the various possibilities and creative ideas they had, to professionally and promptly installing the lighting system to being ultra-responsive to any maintenance issues that have arisen. They have even gone as far as to deliver replacement light bulbs to my door step! All the folks there do such a great job and truly show that they care about what they’re doing and really want to help you. Southern Lights is the kind of business that you can’t wait to work with. They have set the bar for other landscaping companies and in my opinion, maintain the “Disney” customer focus culture of the industry.

I appreciate how everyone made it a point to communicate with me how and when the work was going to be done so that expectations match the final product. For me, having well written proposals and prompt documentation of change orders is comforting and helps assure that both parties are on the same page for the expectations of the final product and the payment. It was truly refreshing to work you. The management and crew took the time to understand my vision and helped to make it become a reality. The level of professionalism exhibited both in project management and in quality of work made for a happy customer and hopefully a proud installer.

The installation went smoothly and they are extremely conscientious about the placement of the lights. They come back out at night to check and make sure the lighting is set correctly and make sure the customer is happy. Highly recommend them for your exterior lighting needs!

So pleased with our experience with Southern Lights & Southern Exposure.The work crew was clean and careful to protect the yard they were working around. The stone work they did is amazing! Everyone we worked with was knowledgeable and professional from the outdoor furniture we chose to the stone work and landscaping around the firepit. The exterior lighting design was excellent. They had great ideas and even came out at night to make sure everything looked the way it should. We highly recommend for any outdoor project! - Irving Park, Greensboro, NC

I called Southern Lights for a repair on our existing outdoor landscape lighting. We also wanted to update our control timer while our unit was being serviced. Pete called me right back and set up a time for later that day. He arrived when promised and promptly addressed our issues. He quickly diagnosed our problem and repaired it immediately. He recommended an awesome timer that can be controlled using my smart phone. He had one on his truck and installed it while there. Bore leaving, he took his time setting it up on my phone and showing me all the features and programming options. From start to finish, I was highly impressed with his professionalism, knowledge, and willingness to thoroughly explain everything to me. We have lived in the Greensboro area for 3 years and I can honestly say this company was BY FAR the easiest and best we have dealt with.

My experience with Southern Lights was by far the best I've ever had with a company doing work for me. Once I contacted them that I was interested in some landscape lighting Pete was really prompt on getting back to me. He showed up to my house and was very professional and really took his time explaining what I needed to make my house look great. Once I decided on a package Southern Lights was very quick in working my house in. Installation went really smooth and Pete came back that night and worked extremely late on making sure all the lighting made the house look beautiful! Company came highly recommended and lived up to every aspect of that claim.

We called Southern Lights after getting other estimates. The initial consultation answered our questions and some we didn't know we had! Our first impression was good, and the installation and service exceeded our expectations- quicker, neater, and more assuring. The outcome makes us happy every time we look outside, which is often:-)

We are very pleased with the great service and the look of the lighting at our home. When Pete says good lighting is a passion for him, he isn't kidding. He gets it right.

We needed lighting on our drive and in the front of the house, but because of the structure we couldn't just use do-it-yourself solar lights. So we called Southern Lights, and they transformed our house into a showplace. Now not only is our driveway safe, but the house looks fabulous. We can't wait to have a party to show it off! Pete was a joy to work with, very responsive and quick, and he worked with us to reduce our costs. Can't recommend them highly enough!
