Founded in 1995, Outdoor Lighting Perspectives (OLP) is currently the largest and was the first franchise system of its kind. We specialize in the design, installation, and service of landscape and architectural lighting systems for both commercial and residential customers. We also sell and install lighting control automation for interior and exterior lighting applications. In 2010, we added a holiday lighting program creating a “three businesses in one” approach, helping our franchise owner’s extended their selling season with a unique opportunity.
