Why Outdoor Lighting Franchises Outshine Home Improvement Franchises

If you’re looking for an outdoor lighting franchise that’s simple to operate, built for growth, and backed by a trusted brand, you’re in the right place. At Outdoor Lighting Perspectives (OLP), we offer a proven model that sets us apart from most home improvement franchises.

We don’t believe in complexity for its own sake. With over 25 years of experience, we’ve refined a system that works, offering low overhead, multiple revenue streams, strong margins, and support every step of the way.

A Thriving Market with Steady Demand

Homeowners are investing more than ever in their outdoor spaces. They want their properties to look great, feel safe, and support everyday living. Professional outdoor lighting provides all of that. It enhances curb appeal, increases safety, and extends the use of patios, walkways, and yards after dark.

We’re not guessing at demand—we offer consistent revenue streams. Whether it’s a new homeowner improving their landscape or a business enhancing exterior visibility, there’s always a reason for customers to call us.

Rapid Market Expansion and Industry Forecasts

The outdoor lighting industry is projected to reach nearly $29B by 2027. That growth is driven by more homeowners investing in renovations, increasing interest in smart home features, and a broader trend toward high-end outdoor living.

As an Outdoor Lighting Perspectives franchise owner, you’ll step into a market that’s growing steadily and built to last. Our services don’t go out of style, and the demand doesn’t slow down.

A Turnkey, Low‑Overhead Franchise Model

We’ve built our franchise model to be simple, efficient, and ready to launch. No retail storefront is required. You won’t need to manage a large staff or buy expensive equipment.

We provide a turnkey system that includes operational playbooks, training, marketing tools, and vendor relationships. You’ll be able to start quickly and keep your overhead low. Many of our franchisees start with a small team, operating independently, and scale up as they grow. This is a model you can run full-time, part-time, or with a plan to build equity over time.

Multiple and Recurring Revenue Streams

What makes our outdoor lighting business even more attractive is the diverse range of revenue streams it offers. Our franchisees don’t rely on one service or seasonal work. Instead, they have access to multiple income streams that support year-round cash flow.

Permanent Landscape Lighting

This is our core offering. We design and install professional lighting systems for residential and commercial properties. These projects are high-margin and often lead to referrals, reviews, and long-term client relationships.

Holiday and Event Lighting

Seasonal lighting is a great way to boost revenue. Clients often return each year for holiday displays or special event lighting. You’ll be able to offer short-term, high-margin projects that create ongoing client connections.

Maintenance Contracts and Upgrades

Lighting systems require regular maintenance, and clients often want upgrades over time. We offer service plans and new tech add-ons that bring in recurring income. These outdoor lighting services also increase the lifetime value of each client.

High Profit Margins and Strong EBITDA Potential

We’ve designed a business that keeps material costs low while maintaining a high perceived value. Our clients aren’t just paying for lights—they’re paying for design, function, and long-term impact. That allows us to price based on value, not just equipment.

Premium Service vs. Material Cost

Because we focus on design and installation, we’re able to keep costs predictable while maintaining strong margins. Our franchisees typically see high gross margins and strong returns as they scale.

Cross-Selling Opportunities

Lighting often complements other services, such as landscaping, pool installation, or patio remodeling. As an Outdoor Lighting Perspectives franchisee, you can build partnerships with other contractors or upsell to clients who are already investing in outdoor improvements. This expands your revenue potential and creates strategic referral opportunities.

Brand Authority and Franchise Support

When you join Outdoor Lighting Perspectives, you’re not starting from scratch. The brand has been operating for over 25 years and has completed more than 200,000 installations across 120+ territories.

This history builds trust with customers and gives you instant credibility in your market. Additionally, you receive the support that franchise owners need to succeed.

Full Training, Marketing, and Operational Backing

You don’t need experience in lighting or business to get started. We provide:

• Hands-on installation and design training
• Sales, marketing, and customer service guidance
• Local and national advertising tools
• Ongoing business coaching and support

We help you get started, stay on track, and grow with confidence.

Eco‑Friendly and Tech‑Driven Edge

Customers today are more environmentally conscious and tech-savvy than ever before. OLP is ahead of the curve in both areas.

All our lighting systems use energy-efficient LED technology, and many can be integrated with smart home systems. That means you can offer your clients the ability to control their lighting through their phones or home automation devices. These features are highly desirable and keep you competitive in a modern market.

Work–Life Balance and Owner Satisfaction

Many of our landscape lighting franchise owners are looking for more than just financial opportunity. They want freedom, flexibility, and a business that fits into their lives. We’ve built our model to support that.

Our work is mostly scheduled in advance, and most of our franchisees don’t work weekends. You’ll be able to choose your hours, set your growth goals, and build a business that works for you—not the other way around.

We hear it often: our franchisees appreciate the simplicity of the business, the quality of life it supports, and the ability to grow at their own pace.
