Expert Lighting System Inspection in Franklin, TN

Homelight Nashville provides professional lighting system inspections for residential properties throughout Franklin, TN and the surrounding Middle Tennessee communities. A lighting system inspection gives you a complete, documented picture of your outdoor lighting system's current condition — what is working correctly, what is underperforming, what is at risk of failure, and what improvements are possible.

A lighting system inspection is particularly valuable in several situations. If you have recently purchased a Franklin property with an existing landscape lighting or outdoor lighting system, an inspection tells you exactly what you have inherited — the system's age, component condition, transformer capacity, wiring quality, and upgrade potential. If you have an existing system that has not been serviced in several years, an inspection identifies what maintenance is overdue and what repairs are needed before the system degrades further. If you are planning a landscape renovation, addition, or expansion, an inspection tells you whether your current system has the capacity to support new zones or whether the transformer and wiring need to be upgraded.

Our lighting system inspection process is thorough and systematic. We inspect every fixture in the system for physical condition, alignment, and light output. We test each transformer zone for proper load, voltage output, and timer or photocell function. We inspect all accessible wire runs and connections for signs of corrosion, damage, or moisture intrusion. We assess the overall design of the system — whether fixture placement, beam angles, and zone coverage are still appropriate given the current state of the landscaping and property. And we document everything we find in a clear, organized inspection report.

The inspection report we provide covers the full system in plain language. It identifies every issue we found, categorizes issues by urgency — immediate repair needed, monitor and address within the season, or note for future planning — and provides cost estimates for any recommended repairs or upgrades. You leave the inspection with a complete understanding of your outdoor lighting system and a clear path forward.

I recently had the pleasure of working with John for outdoor lighting and landscaping work at my home, and I can confidently say this was one of the best contractor experiences I’ve had in Williamson County. From the very beginning, John went above and beyond in his level of consultation. He didn’t just install lights — he carefully walked through placement strategy, sight lines, coverage, and overall design to make sure every part of our backyard was properly illuminated. He even made thoughtful modifications to our mulch beds to ensure the lighting was positioned perfectly across the entire space. That level of thoroughness is rare. What really stood out was his attention to infrastructure. I wanted automation integrated into the lighting system, and John took the time to ensure everything was set up correctly from the ground up. He was meticulous about wiring, layout, and long-term scalability so that I wouldn’t run into issues down the road. It’s clear he thinks ahead and builds things the right way. Beyond the installation itself, John provided numerous recommendations and trusted contacts for other trades. Based on the level of detail, professionalism, and customer service he demonstrated, I feel very comfortable working with anyone he recommends. Communication throughout the entire process was excellent. He was always quick to follow up, transparent with details, and kept me informed at every stage. There were no surprises — just professionalism and quality workmanship. If you’re looking for outdoor lighting or landscaping work and want someone who truly cares about doing it right, I highly recommend John. This was a five-star experience from start to finish.

Jon did a terrific job designing and installing our lights. He listened to what we wanted and even more importantly what we didn’t want. He is a perfectionist who may be a bit higher in price but is worth it for the quality of his work and products. He responds quickly with any issues or concerns and I would highly recommend Homelight and Jon Swenson .

Jon did a terrific job lighting up our oversized tree filled homesite. His creativity and knowledge of lighting was refreshing and impressive.. The end result surpassed my overall expectations. I wouldn't hesitate in referring Jon to anyone with lighting needs. You won't regret it.

We live in Ivy Glen subdivision in Franklin tn. and needed indoor lights replaced in two areas in our great room. These areas are close to the ceiling and unreachable by a regular ladder. Plus the lights were the old fluorescent tube lights that were spotty in light coverage leaving shadows in between the tubes. Jon suggested a continuous LED light replacement. I chose a cooler light color. We are absolutely thrilled with the result! The new light has total coverage with no shadows, and the quality of the light has improved the overall look of the room. I recommend Jon with homelight!
