Discover the Beauty and Security of Outdoor Patio Wall Lights for Your Home

Home exterior lighting in Nashville is architectural work, not floodlighting. The job is to reveal the line of a roof, the depth of a column, the texture of a stone façade — without flattening any of it under a single hot wall pack. Our exterior designs layer concealed uplights at the column base, downlights tucked into the soffit, soft wall-washes across brick or limestone, and lantern-replacement entry fixtures that match the home's style.

Wiring is hidden where the construction allows — soffit feeds, in-eave junctions, and core-drilled mounting points so daytime curb appeal stays clean. The full system runs on a single transformer at the side yard, integrates with smart-home platforms for scene control, and uses LED lamps with a 50,000-hour rating so the electric bill barely moves even when the façade is lit every night.

Wondering whether your walls and columns need light from below or above? Read our guide to uplighting vs downlighting for your house.

Enhance Your Franklin Home With Elegant Exterior Lighting

We at Music City Outdoor Lighting believe in being eco-friendly, which is why you will have many choices for your energy-efficient lighting. There are also other great reasons to make your lighting environmentally friendly.

Why Choose Our Home Exterior Lighting?

Architecture-First Design

We don't hang fixtures — we illuminate architecture. Your home's unique character, from roofline to foundation, is our canvas. Every technique is chosen to enhance what's already there, not overwhelm it.

Immediate Curb Appeal Impact

Exterior lighting is one of the highest-return improvements you can make. Your investment shows the moment the sun goes down — creating the wow factor that impresses neighbors, guests, and potential buyers alike.

Smart Control & Automation

Our exterior systems include astronomic timers that automatically adjust to seasonal sunrise and sunset changes. Smart home integration means you can manage every zone from your phone or voice assistant.

Professional-Grade Fixtures Built to Last

We use solid brass and copper fixtures rated for 50,000+ hours that stand up to Tennessee's heat, humidity, and storms. This is architectural lighting designed to look better year after year, not season after season.

Night-One Walk-Through

Home Exterior Lighting FAQs

What's the difference between soffit lights and wall wash lighting?

+
Soffit downlights are recessed or surface-mounted fixtures installed under eaves that cast light downward onto the facade or entry below — great for highlighting architectural details and creating welcoming pools of light. Wall wash lighting uses angled fixtures positioned at the base of the home to cast broad, even light upward across the facade, revealing texture and color in stone, brick, or siding.

Will exterior lighting improve my home's security?

+
Yes. Well-lit entry points, pathways, and facades are a proven deterrent. Our exterior lighting is designed to eliminate dark zones around your home while maintaining an elegant aesthetic — not the harsh security-light look. Motion sensor integration is available as an add-on for additional peace of mind.

How long does installation take?

+
Most exterior home lighting systems are installed in a single day (6–8 hours). The crew arrives with all materials and completes fixture placement, wiring, transformer installation, and programming. We then return at dusk for a night-one walkthrough to fine-tune settings with you present.

What areas of Nashville do you serve?

+
Home exterior lighting is our most-requested service across Belle Meade, Green Hills, Forest Hills, Brentwood, Franklin, Bellevue, Hendersonville, Gallatin, Spring Hill, Lebanon, and Mt. Juliet. Historic-home retrofits in 12 South, East Nashville, and Germantown are a regular part of the calendar too — ask if you're outside the usual radius.

What fixtures and bulbs do you use for exterior lighting?

+
We use premium solid brass and copper fixtures designed to withstand Tennessee weather year-round. All LED lamps are rated for 50,000+ hours (20+ years at typical usage). We select fixtures based on your home's architectural style — from traditional Colonial to modern farmhouse — and all operate on safe, efficient 12V low-voltage systems.

Do you offer maintenance plans?

+
Yes. Our annual maintenance plans include bulb replacement, system inspection, beam angle adjustments, and timer reprogramming as needed. Keeping your exterior lighting dialed in year after year ensures your home always looks its best. Maintenance plans are included with the Signature package and available separately.
