LIGHT TN: Outdoor Lighting Design for Architecture & Landscape
We create intentional nighttime environments, crafted to complement your home’s architecture, elevate the landscape, and feel as good in person as it looks in photos.
Based in Middle Tennessee and family-owned, Light TN designs and implements refined outdoor lighting systems with a focus on composition, comfort, and long-term reliability. From estate properties to intimate outdoor living spaces, our work is designed to age beautifully.
Our Mission & Values:
Mission
To deliver outdoor lighting that feels effortless, quietly improving curb appeal, safety, and atmosphere through thoughtful design, premium components, and a process that respects your home.
Values
Design comes first. We value restraint over glare, intention over over-lighting, and craftsmanship over shortcuts. Every project is approached as a long-term relationship built on clarity, communication, and results you’re proud to come home to.
Our Story
Light TN was built from a simple belief: great architecture deserves great lighting. Outdoor lighting shouldn’t look “installed.” It should feel composed, like it was always meant to be there.
With deep roots in production, visual storytelling, and technical execution, our approach blends artistic perspective with a disciplined process. We design with the same care you’d expect from an interior designer, only our canvas is the exterior of your home after dark.
Today, we serve homeowners across Middle Tennessee with lighting solutions that are warm, controlled, and layered—built to enhance entrances, walk paths, outdoor living spaces, landscape features, and architectural lines without harsh hotspots or distraction.
Core Values
Design-Led Thinking
We start with the home’s lines, materials, and sight lines. Then shape light around them with restraint and purpose.
Comfort Over Brightness
Warmth, shielding, and aiming matter. We prioritize atmosphere and visibility without glare.
Craftsmanship & Clean Execution
Details stay invisible; wiring discipline, fixture placement, and precise aiming make the difference.
Long-Term Reliability
Premium components, proper protection, and serviceability—so your system performs season after season.
Meet Our Team
We’re a family-owned design studio backed by a trusted field team bringing design, communication, and consistent execution to every project.
Daryl Bentfield
Principal Lighting Designer
