PROJECT SUMMARY: Sometimes really unique projects come across our office. This was one of those cool and different requests we received. Revolution Mill & Kau Restaurant Bar and Grill reached out to Southern Lights to help enhance this magnificent and large campus with purposeful outdoor lighting design. Their first interest and need was to help enhance the look and feel of the large bridge leading to their main restaurant Kau (formerly Natty Green’s Kitchen & Market). Guests must park on one side of the bridge and walk across to reach the restaurant and shops. The lighting that was in place wasn’t very intriguing or in line with the style of this rustic metal bridge. Revolution Mill & Kau Restaurant wanted a quick and temporary solution to give the bridge some stature and interest for the holiday season. Several ideas were discussed including color changing lamps, but the simple and classic warm white lights were chosen to drape across the beautiful bridge.
These Christmas lights are an interim solution until final lighting design plans for permanent lighting on the bridge are approved. 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 bridge), creating the most ideal landscape lighting effect.
LANDSCAPE LIGHTING FOCUS: This is an easy one. The Bridge. Southern Lights Outdoor Lighting & Audio was tasked to design and install a powerful statement for this beautiful bridge. One of the lighting design requirements for this temporary low voltage lighting system on Revolution Mill & Kau Restaurant’s bridge was that it not only help with the safety aspect of illuminating the decking for foot traffic, but to be a focal point from Yanceyville St. Due to the size and scope of the Revolution Mill’s campus, the landscape lighting on the bridge needed to be visible from a distance (over 1000 feet away) or we would run the risk of a very “underwhelming” effect. More attention to the architectural details and arched of the bridge will come with the 2nd layer of outdoor lighting during phase two.
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 surface of the bridge for walking in an area that is overly dark over a body of water.
Security lighting was needed to help provide adequate illumination for not only the walking path, but provide some reflective lighting that would broadcast beyond the bridge helping to remove shadows.
SERENITY lighting is always needed to give the space and property a clean and natural lighting design during evening hours.
LOCATION: The lighting designs and installation for this Revolution Mill project can be found off of Yanceyville St and Cornwalis Ave in Greensboro, NC 27405.
LANDSCAPE LIGHTING DESIGN: Ideal landscape lighting should evoke Safety. Security. SERENITY and 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.
Adequate lighting with a lot of flexibility was Southern Lights main objective since this lighting effect was only meant to be temporary. Southern Lights has the opportunity to work with a lot of amazing clients and this staff was no different. There is so much positive excitement about what this property is doing and offering in the way of office work-spaces, restaurants, events, weddings, and apartments it is contagious and we are excited to be a part of this journey with Revolution Mill & Kau Restaurant Bar and Grill providing professional landscape lighting design and installation for years to come on this property as it evolves and grows.
LANDSCAPE LIGHTING DESIGN TECHNIQUES & EFFECTS:
Christmas Lighting
Holiday Lighting
Temporary Lighting
String Lighting
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 location.
Timing and power were our only real hurdles on this project. Christmas was fast approaching when Revolution Mill reached out to Southern Lights Outdoor Lighting & Audio to help with one of their best Restaurants, Kau Restaurant & Bar. In the holiday lighting business, the season is very short and materials sell out very quickly. Once we got the go ahead, product was sourced. We struggled to find product that wasn’t out of stock that fit the parameters needed. Luckily one of our preferred vendors worked their magic and product was ordered. The lighting was installed the same day it landed at our shop giving the Revolution Mill campus about a week and a half window before Christmas to be enjoyed through the holiday season. Power was also an initial need to be able to support not only our temporary holiday lighting, but also to support permanent outdoor lighting on the bridge in the near future. The team at Revolution Mill moved quickly to provide us power and this project is now history.
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.
The Revolution Mill team 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 structure. We think it turned out pretty awesome! We hope you did too!

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.

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.

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.

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:-)

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.

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!

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
