Restaurant Lighting That Sets the Mood (and Boosts the Bottom Line)

Create the ambiance your guests remember. Sophisticated lighting design for unforgettable dining experiences.

What Is Restaurant Lighting?

It’s strategic lighting that enhances your atmosphere, brand, and guest experience.

Mike and his team with Grounded Lighting did an amazing job reviewing exterior lighting options, and customized a plan that was exactly what we were looking for. He set realistic expectations and communicated throughout the process, and both speed and quality were top-notch! I’d recommend for anyone looking to enhance and upgrade their exterior lighting, and add value to their home. We definitely plan to use them again for future projects!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mike and his team worked with our contractor to do the prewiring, as the house was being built. And then finalized the awesome installation. We have nothing but good things to say about how he worked with our contractor and us to get the job done. Our neighbors love our lights as much as we do.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mike did an awesome job installing permanent Holiday Lighting to the front of my home.  After installation, due to the facia having a small slope in it, Mike and his crew rectified the issue by adjusting the track to make the lighting look perfect.  As I finish up construction around my house, I will be using Mike to install my backyard lighting in the near future.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. ONE YEAR UPDATE: I love these lights, no muss, no fuss. Mike from Grounded Lighting is there for you. At one point my timing box (automatically sets lights to go on at sundown and off at daybreak) went off line, I couldn't figure it out, I called Mike and he reset it for me and showed me what to do in the future. this was a few months after installation, so he does come back after you've paid! Great service and aftercare! :) Grounded Lighting did an excellent job on my pool lanai, walkway and bougie duplex dog house! They took their time and explained all the different options available. The lights in the lanai look so sleek, and I love the upwards and downwards scone lighting.  I also like their payment app, it is very user-friendly~ Highly recommend! Five Stars!  ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
