Posted on March 24, 2008 by Bill Dube

Southwest Virginia’s lighting experts, NiteLites, offers property expansion options at the Roanoke Regional Home Builder Association’s The Home Expo, scheduled for March 28 – 30 at the Salem Civic Center. 

NiteLites, the architectural and landscape lighting professionals, will exhibit their latest, top of the line outdoor lighting products at the Roanoke Regional Home Builder Association’s The Home Expo.  The show is scheduled for March 28th through March 30th at the Salem Civic Center in Salem, Virginia. 

Hours for the show are 3:00 – 9:00 PM on Friday; 10:00 AM – 8:00 PM on Saturday; and 12:00 Noon – 5:00 PM on Sunday.  This is the 38th consecutive year for the show which features products and services for the consumer who plans to build, remodel, or enhance their home or commercial property.  Exhibits available at the show include lighting, pools and spas, flooring, appliances, builders and remodelers, landscaping, and several other products and services. 

While attending the show, stop at the NiteLites booth and let Ashley Brooks, local NiteLites owner and operator, demonstrate his spectacular collection of photos of properties which enjoy extended living space due to a NiteLites outdoor lighting system.  Mr. Brooks will also demonstrate NiteLites leading edge, high quality outdoor lighting fixtures and will share ideas for extending functional space for a residence or business. 

This time of year, sunlight is at a premium.  But the days will continue to get longer, and warmer weather will return.   NiteLites professionals can brighten any yard or garden by highlighting selected features with a customized outdoor lighting system.  Landscape lighting can emphasize the color and bring out the beauty of ponds, statues, trees, and shrubs.  Pathways become safer when landscape lighting is applied.  The property becomes more secure when dark spots are eliminated or minimized.  The result of adding a specification grade, low voltage landscape lighting system is that the home or business becomes more inviting, and the lighting system adds to the property’s overall ambience.  The property owner can once again be welcomed by the property, while successfully expanding the available living and entertainment areas well beyond sunset. 

Now is a good time to reflect on the past spring and summer with regard to the existing property.  What areas were used extensively?  What areas, like decks, patios, or gardens, were seldom used, or not used at all?  Often, these seldom used areas can be an integral part of the usable property.  What can be done to make better use of these areas is both simple, and less expensive than a construction project.

Landscape lighting provides a creative way to showcase the beauty of the landscape and garden investments. Low voltage lights can be strategically installed to add rich depth and textures to trees, shrubs, flower beds, and statues in the evening. And because of the design of the fixtures, “lighting trespass” is minimized – the lights illuminate only the intended subject.

NiteLites sole business is outdoor lighting systems for residential and commercial properties.  To register for a personal demonstration, stop at the NiteLites booth and see Mr. Brooks and his staff. The NiteLites professional will set up a temporary installation of a NiteLites lighting system on a prospect’s property to demonstrate the dramatic effect that a NiteLites system can have.  NiteLites will then provide a written estimate for the complete installation.  Once installed, the NiteLites professional will consult with the property owner to determine the final aiming of the individual lights.  NiteLites also offers an industry leading warranty.  

NiteLites was recently recognized by Franchise Times (March 2008 Issue) as the 7th fastest growing franchise organization.  That fact, coupled with the growing trend for Americans to purchase outdoor lighting systems, has led to NiteLites Franchise Systems, Inc. expanding our operations in selected regions of the United States.  Mr. Carl Frederick, VP of Franchise Sales and Development, stated “The NiteLites franchise offer includes national brand recognition, exceptional products and service, affordable start up costs, and comprehensive training and support.  In addition, the NiteLites franchise offer includes a proven business plan.”       Exterior lighting franchises are currently available in many major cities including Las Vegas, Dallas, Fort Worth, Phoenix, San Antonio, Memphis, Boston, New Orleans, Miami, Albuquerque, Salt Lake City, Louisville, Pittsburgh, Milwaukee, Seattle, Hartford, Tucson, Denver, Lexington, and San Jose.
