Illuminate entrances, garages, driveways, walkways, and perimeter areas with carefully positioned low-voltage fixtures that improve nighttime visibility and help make your exterior easier to navigate after dark.
Create clear, evenly lit routes along sidewalks, garden paths, and driveways. Pathway fixtures support safer footing and wayfinding while adding definition to your landscape at night.
Install elevated fixtures in trees, pergolas, or rooflines to cast broad, natural-looking light over patios, lawns, walkways, and outdoor gathering areas without overwhelming the property.
Effective security lighting should make important areas visible without turning your property into a glare-filled space. Craig Collins designs low-voltage systems around the way you arrive, walk, park, and enjoy your home after sunset. Each layout considers fixture placement, beam spread, brightness, and existing landscape features to provide dependable coverage with an elegant, cohesive nighttime result that supports safety, comfort, and curb appeal.
See why homeowners trust Craig’s thoughtful designs, personal service, and refined low-voltage lighting installations.

A design-led, owner-operated approach to lighting your home with care.
Craig personally designs every installation, with no sales reps or project managers involved.
Exclusive low-voltage fixtures provide efficient, landscape-friendly illumination without 120V house-mounted lighting.
Twenty-one years of experience informs lighting for Bethesda, Potomac, and distinctive Washington homes.
Balanced placement improves nighttime visibility while preserving the subtle character of established landscapes.
Security lighting installation cost is shaped by the number of areas to illuminate, fixture selection, wire runs, transformer capacity, access conditions, and whether an existing system can be expanded. A focused entry or driveway plan generally requires less equipment than a whole-property layout. Landscape Lighting Designers Plus provides a complimentary, no-obligation design consultation so the scope and lighting priorities can be discussed before a tailored recommendation is prepared.
