I called Scott to give us a quotation for exterior lighting work for a friend of mine whose home I maintain for her. Scott was an amazing person to deal with he gave us a precise quotation on every thing he was going to do, The work was completed very quickly he even came twice after dark to adjust the lighting, we would use Scott again in a heart beat and recommend him highly.

Thanks for the great review Laurisa! your back yard was a perfect setting for LED lighting and you have so many interesting elements, the hardest part was choosing what to light!

Scott had previously installed LED lights in our front yard, which was well done and is a credit to his abilities. We asked him come back to light up our backyard and were open to his creativity. The results are spectacular! The back of our house, the pond, the pool, the trees and in particular our wishing well have been lit with soft LED lights and our backyard looks even better than it did. Scott is great to work with and we would recommend him to anyone.

Company Response:

Thanks for the kind words Michael. As LEDs allow for a completely different way of lighting,it's a real pleasure when a client allows us the freedom to use LEDs in new and different ways. After all, isn't that what "custom" really means?

Scott is an artist. He did a beautiful job designing and implementing our landscape lighting, front and back. Had an innovative and effective approach compared to the others that bid on our job. Also very reasonable, he was the only one that offered to refurbish existing fixtures. On time, on budget, and very good about coming back to make tweaks and adjustments. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Company Response:

Thank-you for the excellent review John. As you already had several, quality fixtures, it seemed a shame to get rid of them for no reason. Incorporating them in the design was no problem. Simply retrofitting them with LEDs just made sense especially if we follow the three R's: reduce, reuse, recycle!

We have a large backyard and front yard that had been landscaped a couple of years ago but we felt that we needed lighting to maximize the potential.. We contacted Scott based on home stars reviews and were very happy with our choice.. He was very responsive and came up with a great lighting plan. The lights were installed in a timely manner and Scott was great about coming back to inspect the final product and make adjustments as needed. The final product is perfect- great lighting that really showcases the landscaping and makes our yard and pool very usable as well as beautiful. He even was able to add lighting to a previously unused gas light in out front yard! Highly recommended

Company Response:

Thanks Christine and Doug. I can't tell you how much it helps when there's trust between homeowners and contractors. Lighting is an especially difficult concept to understand and the expression 'seeing is believing' is certainly true with lighting. You can only have nice lighting if you've got the elements to light and the most difficult part of your design was choosing which elements to light! Thanks so much for allowing us to complete your project. Cheers, Scott MacKinnon

We are currently in the process of renovating our home and we hired Light Emitting Design to install some LED spot lights for the exterior of our house as well as interior. We had them install under cabinet LED lighting for the kitchen and some recessed lighting for the rest of our home and the results are impressive. I am very happy with the outcome and best of all, the annual cost savings are more than welcomed. Overall, we are very satisfied with their work and I highly recommend them.

Scott is a great guy and very professional and detail oriented. He explained the entire project and walk me through the pros and cons. He had no problems sourcing lights from California and also had his own LED lights to offer. So, the flexibility was great. Since I am technical, this is great for me as it gives me a lot of confidence. He talked about any changes that needed to be made and his crew was very good as well. There was a slight problem with one of the lights but he came back multiple times to make sure it was done correctly. It has been 6 months and I have not seen any issues. Hopefully they last me for another 10 years. Will use him again.

Thanks so much for your feedback Xerxes. It can be challenging using a new technology especially lighting where there's been so little change for a very long time. It was a real treat lighting your home as you allowed me the freedom of using this 'new' technology in ways that old style lighting could never accomplish.

Scott has had lots of experience with lighting and design so it was not surprising that he could take my situation and offer a great look and sound advice. While renovating the front of our house we discussed LED's with Scott who worked with our contractor to design and install the lights. We asked Scott to put lights in at the back of our house as well but in a temporary manner until we were able to renovate that area. Scott was very helpful and accommodating - he even arrived 2 years later promptly to finish the installation of the backyard lights, again working with our contractor to get the job done and they look beautiful. I'd recommend Scott and Light Emitting Design to anybody. It's great to find somebody who is knowledgeable and easy to work with.

Thanks for your kind review Jenn. You have such a nice home it made my job easy. (I hope people don't think it took us two years to complete the work!)
