A personalized low-voltage lighting plan that considers your architecture, landscape features, outdoor routines, and desired nighttime atmosphere before fixtures are selected and installed.
Evenly placed fixtures bring dependable visibility to walkways, garden paths, sidewalks, and driveways while creating a welcoming route through the property after dark.
Focused upward lighting highlights specimen trees, stonework, columns, facades, and architectural details, adding depth and a refined nighttime presence to your exterior.
Discreet fixtures placed in trees, pergolas, and rooflines cast soft, broad illumination over lawns, patios, paths, and landscape features from above.
Low-voltage stair, railing, perimeter, and under-deck lights define outdoor living areas while helping guests move confidently around decks after sunset.
Layered ambient, task, and perimeter lighting makes pools, patios, seating areas, and surrounding hardscapes more comfortable and functional for evening entertaining.
Landscape Lighting Designers Plus designs lighting as part of the property—not as an afterthought. Craig Collins combines subtle illumination, practical visibility, and energy-efficient low-voltage fixtures to reveal what makes your home distinctive after sunset. Whether highlighting mature trees in Potomac, guiding guests along a Bethesda walk, or complementing a Washington DC row house, every plan is tailored for balance, safety, and lasting elegance.

Personal design expertise, artistic restraint, and low-voltage specialization shape every project.
Craig personally designs each project, giving homeowners direct access to specialized expertise without sales representatives.
Exclusive low-voltage fixtures provide efficient, landscape-friendly illumination without 120V house-mounted lighting.
Twenty-one years serving Bethesda, Potomac, and Washington DC homes informs every tailored lighting plan.
Thoughtful designs complement distinctive DC row houses, Federal-style townhomes, and mature landscaped properties.
Low-voltage landscape lighting uses a transformer to reduce standard household current to 12 volts for outdoor fixtures. This approach supports energy-efficient LED systems, allows fixtures to blend naturally into gardens and hardscapes, and is well suited to pathways, trees, patios, decks, and architectural accents. Landscape Lighting Designers Plus works exclusively with low-voltage landscape fixtures rather than 120V house-mounted lights.
