The mistakes most homeowners make before they find this page
Buying the wrong fixtures
Box-store lights look fine in the store and fail within a year outdoors. Pro-grade fixtures are solid brass, built to last 15+ years, and they're not sold at Lowes or Home Depot.
Skipping the design step
Most people buy lights before making a plan. Without knowing where each fixture goes first, you end up with wire in the wrong places and a result that looks random, not intentional.
Undersized transformer
The single most common mistake. Homeowners buy a 150W transformer, then need a second one when they add lights. Sizing it correctly the first time takes one simple calculation.
Making a costly $2,000+ mistake
Landscape lighting is a real investment. You've done the research but still aren't confident. That's exactly what a professional design solves, so you go in knowing what you're doing.
Pick the level of help that fits your project
Whether you want us to design the whole thing for you or you're working through it yourself, there's a clear starting point for every stage.

A decade installing the real thing
"I've seen every mistake homeowners make, because I've spent 10 years fixing them."
I run AK Lighting in North Dallas, where my team designs and installs professional landscape lighting every week. After a decade in the field, I started sharing everything I know through YouTube and this platform, so every homeowner can get professional-grade lighting, wherever they live.
The people behind every project
10+ years of professional landscape lighting installation in North Dallas. 500+ systems installed. Adam created this platform to give every homeowner access to the same knowledge and products he uses on professional jobs.
Ben has been designing landscape lighting layouts for AK Lighting's professional installation business in North Dallas for 3.5 years. He builds every custom design, drawing placements on your photos, mapping wire runs, and building the complete parts list.
What homeowners are saying
"I bought Adam's design service and his lights and did my whole front yard myself in under a month. It looks like a pro installed it. Couldn't be happier with how it turned out."
"The personalized design was worth every penny. It told me exactly what fixtures to buy, what watts I needed, the exact placement of each light, and where to run the wire. Zero guessing... saved me weeks."
"I installed Home Depot lights a few years back and they have not held up very well. After a couple repairs I finally decided I just needed to redo it the right way. I got the course and the lights from AK Lighting and I am so glad I did. Not only are the lights so much higher quality but my house at night looks way better."
"The lighting plan, layout and video were detailed and easy to follow. Our end result was amazing and truly upgraded the curb appeal of our house. It looks like a professional installed everything. We love it!"
"Got the design service, followed the parts list exactly, and installed everything in a weekend. My wife and I are so happy with it. We have already had 2 neighbors comment on it."
"Best money I've spent on my home this year."
