A Note from John
John, Owner & Lead Designer
I've been doing column & pillar lighting around Lake Norman Area for a good long while now, and I still take every one of these jobs personally. I'm John—the owner, the designer, and most days the fella out there in the yard with a fixture in his hand.
Out here by the water, column & pillar lighting has to be done with the lake in mind—solid brass that won't corrode in the humidity, wiring kept safe and low-voltage near the shoreline, and a light that flatters your place instead of blasting it. I don't cut a single corner on any of that, because around Lake Norman Area my name's on it.
Have me come walk your Lake Norman Area property some evening and I'll show you exactly what column & pillar lighting can do for it with a free nighttime demo—no charge, no pressure, just my honest read on your home.

Column & Pillar Lighting for Lake Norman Area Properties
Lake Norman properties run from open-water estate lots with long sightlines across the coves to wooded, rolling parcels set well back off the road behind mature hardwoods.
A gated waterfront estate in The Peninsula or The Point calls for a very different plan than a golf-course home in Northstone or a historic house in downtown Davidson. We match fixture selection and beam spread to the architecture rather than running the same package everywhere.
Anything near the water gets solid brass or copper — aluminum chalks out in a couple of seasons in this humidity. Dock and shoreline work falls under Duke Energy's Lake Management Program, so fixtures must be shielded and aimed down. On Lake Norman's long open views, glare control matters more than almost anywhere else: a badly aimed light reads as a hot spot from clear across the cove.
Long, humid summers and mild winters mean the porch and the dock stay in use most of the year, and the lighting has to hold up to constant moisture coming off 520 miles of shoreline.
