Winter Garden Outdoor Lighting and Landscape Design
Low-voltage landscape lighting for Winter Garden homes, from Craftsman bungalows near Plant Street to new builds overlooking Lake Hancock and Johns Lake. Every layout starts from scratch, uses commercial-grade brass and copper fixtures, and gets tuned on site after dark, when it actually matters.
Lighting Craftsman Homes Near Plant Street
A few blocks off Plant Street, Winter Garden’s older streets are lined with live oaks and Craftsman bungalows, many with deep front porches and tapered columns. The West Orange Trail runs right through downtown, so on a Garden Theatre night, neighbors are walking past your house after dark.
That calls for restraint. We graze porch columns and gables in warm white, keep path lights low and shielded so nothing glares toward the sidewalk, and let the oak canopy carry a soft moonlight wash. On tight lot lines, every beam gets aimed with the house next door in mind.
Landscape Lighting for Horizon West New Builds
Much of Horizon West was built on former citrus groves lost to the freezes of the 1980s, so new homes around Hamlin, Waterleigh, and Summerlake usually start with young trees and fresh sod. Early on, the architecture carries the design. We plan for the landscape you will have in five years, too.
- Grazing that shapes stucco, stone, and columns
- Adjustable tree lights that rise with growth
- Extra cable left at young plantings
- Transformer capacity reserved for future fixtures
Outdoor Lighting Around Winter Garden's Lakes and Ponds
Johns Lake spans more than 2,000 acres, Lake Apopka ranks as Florida’s fourth largest lake, and plenty of newer neighborhoods back onto stormwater ponds. Water brings aquatic midges, the harmless “blind mosquitoes” that drift toward lit homes in swarms.
UF/IFAS field research found they respond mostly to light intensity rather than color. So our outdoor lighting near Winter Garden’s lakes stays measured: modest output, tight beams aimed into the landscape, and the brightest light kept off front doors, garage doors, and lanai screens, where midges like to settle.
Seeing Through the Pool Cage at Night
Screened pool enclosures are common across Winter Garden, and they behave oddly after sunset. Light the inside too brightly and the mesh catches it, turning the screen into a pale wall you cannot see past.
We keep lighting inside the enclosure low and warm, then light the palms, beds, and fence line beyond it, so your eye travels through the screen to the yard. The space feels larger, calmer, and more private. For the water, deck, and lanai itself, see our pool, deck, and patio lighting.

The Standard Behind Every Winter Garden Install
We bring a trained, meticulous eye for shadow, depth, and drama, not a salesperson trying to hit a quota.
Every design starts from scratch, built around your architecture, landscape, and how you use your outdoor space.
Brass, copper, and heavy-duty glass, built to hold their finish and focus through Florida’s heat and humidity.
Angles, brightness, and balance get adjusted at night, because that is when your property actually needs to perform.
Annual checkups, prompt repairs, and a team that picks up the phone long after the install truck has left.
Outdoor lighting is not a service we added to pad our menu. It is the only thing we have ever done.

Sloan lighting has been great for all my lighting needs. I have had them add lights to my existing landscape lighting, repair a few that were no longer working and they helped with the Govee permanent lighting on my house. Brad is quick to respond and they are very reasonably priced!![]()

Brad and his team have been great to work with on multiple projects. Sloan Lighting Solutions operates at a level of professionalism you don’t see often. Brad’s attention to detail is on another level — you can tell right away this isn’t just a job for him, it’s his craft.![]()

Our home has pretty complicated layout, and honestly, most companies either didn’t want to touch it or came back with quotes that were just unreasonable. This team was different. They were not only willing to take on the challenge, but they also offered a very fair and reasonable price compared to everyone else. From the start, they were professional, responsive, and confident in what they could do. The installation turned out absolutely fantastic—our kids loved having the best lit house on the street. They clearly take pride in their work and it shows in the final result. Highly recommend this company!![]()

We recently had our pole lights upgraded to LED and couldn't be happier with the results! From the initial consultation to the final installation, Brad was professional, knowledgeable, and efficient. The difference in lighting quality is night and day — our property is noticeably brighter and more inviting. On top of the improved visibility, we're already seeing the energy savings reflected in our utility costs. The crew was respectful of our space, cleaned up after themselves, and finished the job on schedule. If you're considering switching to LED, look no further — highly recommend!![]()

Brad has been doing our community entrance decorations for at least 12 years. The thought, effort and reliability was more than expected. Both our entrances are fully lit and the community has been the talk of the area when compared to others. The residents are happy and so is the board. We highly recommend him and his team for your Christmas decorating needs.![]()

If you’re thinking about installing permanent outdoor lighting, do yourself a favor and call Brad Sloan with Sloan Lighting Solutions. Brad is one of those rare contractors who combines technical precision with genuine customer care. From the first conversation to the final walkthrough, his attention to detail and commitment to doing things the right way really stand out. The installation was incredibly clean, the system works flawlessly, and the color-changing lighting options are amazing. You can instantly switch for holidays, game days, parties, or special events — which our whole family loves. What really sets this system apart though is the white lighting control. If you just want beautiful everyday lighting, you’re not limited to a single temperature like the typical 3000K outdoor lights most homes have. Brad installed a system that allows you to choose from 12 different white light temperatures, so you can truly color-match your entire property — whether you want a warmer, softer glow or a brighter crisp white to match existing fixtures around the house. That level of flexibility makes the lighting feel customized to the home instead of one-size-fits-all. Beyond the technology, Brad himself was fantastic to work with. He’s knowledgeable, professional, and just genuinely likable. You can tell he takes real pride in delivering a great experience and making sure every detail is perfect. If you want beautiful lighting, cutting-edge technology, and an installer you can truly trust, Sloan Lighting Solutions is the team to call. Highly recommend Brad and his work — we couldn’t be happier with the results.![]()

Very professional, courteous and showed up on time. I had a specific plan in mind and Brad was able to make suggestions that really made it much better than I even imagined. Take the time to go through the process and you will feel the difference.![]()

Brad & team are the real deal when it comes to professionalism, passion, knowledge, & knowing what good looks like. We previously had a mix of several different DIY lighting kits I bought over the years from Lowes, Home Depot, and some online Lighting store. There’s no comparison between what we had previously & what Brad was able to put together. The lights are brighter, the color is better, & the housings aren’t flimsy. I was also tired of the lawn men knocking over bending, or breaking off the cheap stakes in the ground. Believe me I tried, but you just cant’t buy the kind of quality that professional lighting installers are able to buy without paying as much or more plus losing out on the professional design & installation services. We’ll for sure be working with SLS again in a few years when we buy our empty nest home.![]()

I’ve known this vendor for years and can verify a positive experience with his Company. He’s honest, reliable and most of all extremely professional. Should you choose to use his services, he won’t disappoint!
Winter Garden Outdoor Lighting Questions
Will landscape lights draw bugs near a lake or pond?
Aquatic midges do gravitate toward bright light near water. Modest fixture output, tight beams aimed into the landscape, and keeping strong light off doors and screens all help limit how many settle on your home.
Can a brand-new yard in Hamlin be lit now?
Yes. Once beds and sod are in, we light the architecture first and build in capacity, so fixtures for young trees can be added or raised as the landscape fills in.
How do you light a historic Craftsman bungalow?
With restraint. A few well-placed fixtures do more than a dozen: warm grazing on porch columns, a gentle wash across the gables, and low path lights that keep glare off the sidewalk.
Why does my lanai screen glare at night?
Bright light inside the enclosure hits the mesh and bounces back, so the screen reads as a wall. Dimmer interior light and a lit landscape beyond it fix most of that.
Do you install permanent roofline lighting in Winter Garden?
Yes. Permanent roofline lighting runs discreet, app-controlled LED tracks along the eaves for everyday accent light and holiday scenes, and it can share one design plan with your landscape lighting.
Is Winter Garden within your service area
Yes. Winter Garden, including the Horizon West villages with Winter Garden addresses, sits inside the Central Florida area Sloan Lighting Solutions serves, with the same at-home demo, fixtures, and lifetime warranty offered everywhere.
