Our experience with this company was excellent! The owner, Donnie, knows lighting and his staff did a wonderful job with the installation. He took the time to explain why he chose the solution that he installed in a manner that was easy to understand and made sense. Days after the installation we began to receive compliments from our neighbors on how wonderful the house looks at night!

We had (and continue to have) a great experience with this company! From planning with Donnie to installation, we have enjoyed every step! We had extensive lighting done on our exterior and also had 4 light fixtures, two fans, and 6 new can lights installed inside. As well as replaced under cabinet lighting and existing can lights! The crew is diligent and so nice! Highly recommend!

Wow! We are so impressed with how beautiful our home looks! We used to have a back yard that was so dark our kids couldn't play outside at night. They were SO excited to see the difference! In addition to that, we are now the talk of the neighborhood because of how beautiful our home looks lit up at night. I would HIGHLY recommend We Are The Light!

Donnie and his crew is the best in business, he treats you like family. His work is 2nd to none. I use him for all of my electrical needs, from light on my house to electrical for our new pool. If need someone to do anything from a single GFCI replacement to a full remodel of your current electrical system I wouldnt recommend anyone else but We are the light. We love these guys.

We originally worked with a different company that did landscape lighting on the side. We had two fixtures that needed repair and could not get in contact with our previous company to perform the repair. We were then referred to We are the Light, and within 24 hours they repaired our system and upgraded our lighting. We were so pleased with the result that we added more lighting around our property!
