**★★★★★ — HU-123650757, April 2022**

> Kelly is king of lighting design. He knows exactly how to use lighting to really make a property glow.

**★★★★★ — HU-901852910, Aug. 2018**

> Kelly Francis Illumination did a wonderful job lighting my very dark, dense yard with soft, and well positioned lights. They were able to install the bulbs very high in the trees adding interest to the mature landscape. Kelly is very artistic and easy to work with. The new firefly lights are especially fun!! You won’t be disappointed and your yard will look fabulous! Pam

**★★★★★ — Calvin Mein, Aug. 2018**

> Kelly Francis has done our outdoor lights for 20 years.  I would highly recommend him.
> He did our front and back yard.  The house looks great at night and we feel more secure with good outdoor lighting at night.

**Comment from Kelly Francis Illumination:**

> Thanks Calvin! It's been a pleasure working with you over the past two decades!

**★★★★★ — Laura Nell Burton, Oct. 2017**

> Kelly Francis is a master at outdoor lighting! His firefly lights are amazing and he can meet any other need as well.

**★★★★★ — Bob Curtis, Oct. 2017**

> Great job. Our property looks amazing. The lights that Kelly designed for us along our walkways are beautiful and complement the look of our new home very well. Tree lighting is just perfect.

**★★★★★ — Jay Spencer, Oct. 2017**

> I had very enjoyable experience with Kelly Francis Illumination. They delivered on time and at quoted price. Kelly is an artist with yard lighting. Very subtle hand without too much light. I highly recommend Kelly Francis.

**★★★★★ — Ted Flato, Sept. 2017**

> Kelly Francis took our courtyard of gorgeous ancient live oaks and transformed it into a lovely night time garden by filling the trees with soft light and enlivening the whole experience with his floating "fire fly lights" (small bulbs on the ends of copper tubes hanging at a variety of levels from thin discrete wires)...It is enchanting, and gives us great pleasure everytime the sun goes down.  As an architect, principal of Lake/Flato Architects,  who works with a lot of talented consultants, I can certainly tell you that it is a joy working with Kelly Francis.

**★★★★★ — Robert Schupbach, Aug. 2017**

> Excellent lighting plan and professional execution!!  Complete backyard transformation with the addition of Kelly's copper fireflies.  I highly recommend Kelly.

**★★★★★ — Sarah Weston, Aug. 2017**

> Kelley Francis is imaginative and understands how to coordinate with others to implement his design.  He is great at working through ideas and gives thoughtful consideration to questions and ideas.

**★★★★★ — Calabash Shores, July 2017**

> Kelly Francis Illumination installed Firefly lights at my bed and breakfast in downtown Austin.  The product is exceptional!  Each Firefly is hand made and of the highest quality.  The system has worked flawlessly since installed over a year ago.
>
> Placement of lights is important too.  Kelly placed the lights in a large Live Oak tree to maximize effect.  The lights produce a starry effect at night.  During the day the copper tubes add a cool element to the property's atmosphere.

**★★★★★ — Kay Myers, Dec. 2016**

> Outstanding service once again. Thanks to Kelly and his crew!!! We are long, long time customers of Kelly Francis Illumination.
