Frequently Asked Questions
Are Your Lights Energy Efficient?
Whether it's for landscape, Celebright, or holiday lighting, we exclusively use LED technology. LED lights are significantly brighter, more energy-efficient, and longer-lasting than traditional halogen bulbs. This means you'll enjoy vibrant illumination, lower energy bills, and less frequent replacements.
How Much Lead Time Do You Need For Installing Permanent Lights On My House?
The time it takes between quoting and installing can vary depending on the time of year. During the spring and summer, we can often quote a job, order materials, and install within 2-3 weeks time. When Fall arrives and the interest peak’s due to the Christmas rush, booking may result in 1-2 months lead time. The best bet for ensuring you’re ready for the Holiday season is to reach out during the spring/summer and get ahead of the rush.
Do You Work With Contractors As Well As Homeowners?
Working directly with homeowners is our bread and butter, but we also very much value our contractor relationships. We work with a few different contractors in Barrie as their top Outdoor Lighting specialists.
How Much Should I Expect To Spend On Landscape Lighting?
The investment in landscape lighting depends on several factors, including the type and quality of fixtures, the complexity of the design, and the overall scope of the project. Whether you're looking to enhance a specific area or illuminate your entire property, we can tailor a lighting plan to suit your vision and budget. Many homeowners choose to complete their lighting projects in stages, starting with key focal points and expanding over time. Our team will work with you to create a solution that adds beauty, security, and value to your outdoor space while ensuring a seamless and enjoyable experience.
Do You Install Pot Lights?
We don’t currently have a pot light product. Our Celebright permanent soffit lighting is extremely versatile and pot light effects can be created within the App. Some people have Celebright installed with the main intention of setting up a warm white architectural (pot light) lighting display.
What Is The Difference Between Warm and Cool Colour Temperatures?
Color temperature influences the mood of a space. Warm white (2700K-3000K) creates a cozy atmosphere, cool white/daylight (5000K-6500K) promotes alertness, and soft white/neutral white (3500K-4100K) offers a versatile balance. Choose the temperature that best suits your desired ambiance and task.

Why Hire A Lighting Professional? What About DIY?
There are many different types of landscape lighting and DIY kits widely available. It all depends on your lighting needs, and often the old adage is true – you get what you pay for. Most DIY kits are of inferior quality, with some needing to be replaced yearly. Solar-powered lights tend not to be very bright, so they are not ideal for illuminating larger plants or architectural details of your home, and of course are dependent on the sun.
Bright Knights offers the artistry and know-how when it comes to design, product and professional installation, which is important if you’re making an investment that will last a long time.
Traditional vs Permanent Lighting?
Here's the difference.
Our Traditional Holiday Lighting service begins with a custom installation. We supply your professional grade seasonal lights and custom cut the socket wire to fit your home perfectly. We’ll add the bulbs (in the colours of your choice) and get your home looking festive for the Holiday season. In the new year we will come and safely remove your lights and pack them away for safe storage. Come the Fall, we return to hang your lights again for a stress-free Holiday lighting solution. We also do Wreaths, Garland and Mini-Lights for bushes and tree wraps.
Permanent Lighting (Celebright) is a one time install where we will colour match your soffit, order custom track and permanently install smart LED lighting to your roofline. This product has been picking up in popularity due to its colour changing/customization abilities, its brilliant light output, energy efficiency and user friendly App.
To find out what type of festive lighting is best for you, feel free to reach out for a no obligation consultation.
What areas do you service?
We are based in the heart of Simcoe County and service all over this area. We can also service the Muskoka region, Kawartha Lakes, Grey/Bruce County, Dufferin, Peel, York and Durham County. Because outdoor lighting is our passion, we will go wherever the light leads us.
