“Our Business is Your Business”

Complement Your Home or Business

Thinking about investing in outdoor lighting to complement your home or business? Our newest member of the Crescenta Valley Chamber of Commerce, Lighthouse Outdoor Lighting DBA Low Voltage Lighting, can help you out! If you’ve never thought about outdoor lighting before, it can be a beautiful, practical and elegant way to increase curb appeal while adding safety and security to your home or business. Lighthouse Outdoor Lighting provides outdoor lighting design and installation and has over 20 franchises across the United States. Owners Scott and Kim Mekelburg opened up the very first franchise in California.

Scott worked with lighting in the military and recently retired after serving our country for 22 years. Making a low voltage lighting company as a second career was a natural choice for Scott and Kim and Lighthouse Outdoor Lighting offers the safest, most efficient and versatile lighting products and equipment available on the market! Lighthouse systems are professionally installed with precise and careful attention to detail and are made out of solid brass and copper. The products come with a lifetime warranty. Lighthouse also warranties the lights to stay true-to-brightness and they offer a range of color lighting, too. The bulbs are made in the United States and the brass fixtures are assembled in the USA. There are some benefits to do-it-yourself outdoor lighting; however, lower-quality landscape lighting purchased at most home improvement stores often experience corrosion and other problems within a year that cannot compare to the quality of Lighthouse Outdoor Lighting that lasts a lifetime.     For more information or to schedule a free evening demonstration, call (661) 388-4771 or visit lighthouse-lights.com. Kim and Scott will be at the Foothills Business Expo on Sept. 10. Come meet them and compare the quality of Lighthouse Outdoor Lighting!
