Our veteran team of award winning lighting designers realize that your home reflection of yourself and your family and with that we have the opportunity to not only make your home more beautiful but to make it more functional, enjoyable and even safer after the sun goes down. As LED lighting technology has made it’s mark on the landscape lighting industry, outdoor lighting systems have become more energy efficient ,easier to maintain and in some ways even easier to install. We’ve embraced and incorporated these new technologies in to nearly all of our Chicago outdoor lighting designs yet we continue to admire the soft warm white look and feel of a conventional bulb. In recognizing this, we install a Chicago landscape lighting system that is energy efficient and built to last but most importantly it results in a creatively designed outdoor lighting system that magnifies the beauty of your home in a way that only Accents Lighting can. ### Services Provided - Outdoor Lighting Installation - Landscape Lighting Installation - Indoor Specialty Lighting - Lighting Sales ### Areas Served - Chicago - Aurora - Joliet - Naperville - Bolingbrook - Orland Park - Tinley Park - Wheaton - Downers Grove - Glenview - Elmhurst - Lombard - Plainfield - Romeoville - Woodridge - Glen Ellyn - Wilmette - New Lenox - Batavia - Lockport - West Chicago - Homer Glen - Lisle - Darien - Geneva - Crest Hill - Frankfort - Mokena - Shorewood - Lemont - Hinsdale - La Grange - Warrenville - Channahon - Western Springs - Lincolnwood - Burr Ridge - Flossmoor - Winfield - Itasca - Manhattan - Glencoe - Clarendon Hills - Oak Brook - Willow Springs - Olympia Fields - Palos Park - Elwood - Kenilworth - St. Charles ### Typical Job Cost $3,000 - 50,000 ## Business Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Business Name | Accents Lighting | | Address | 571 N Chicago Street, Joliet, Illinois 60432, United States | | Phone | (815) 774-9185 | | Website | http://accentslighting.com | | Followers on Houzz | 148 | **Social profiles:** - Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/pages/Accents-Lighting/117280101632080?sk=timeline - Blog — http://www.accentslighting.com/category/news-and-events/ ## Contact - **Houzz profile:** [Accents Lighting](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/outdoor-lighting-and-audio-visual-systems/accents-lighting-pfvwus-pf~629694053) - **Website:** http://accentslighting.com - **Phone:** (815) 774-9185 ## Credentials **Certifications & Awards** - The Association of Outdoor Lighting Professionals (AOLP) National Awards: - 2016 Best Commercial Lighting - Best Creative Use of Lighting - The 2013 Janet Lennox Moyer Award - Best of Houzz 2016 Service Award - Best of Houzz 2015 Design Award - **Best of Houzz:** 6 awards (2015–2020), for Design, Service. **Affiliations** - [National Association of Home Builders](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/schools-and-organizations/national-association-of-home-builders-pfvwus-pf~562065019) - [Association of Outdoor Lighting Professionals](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/professionals/association-of-outdoor-lighting-professionals-pfvwus-pf~1830187173) - [Southwest Suburban Home Builders Association](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/schools-and-organizations/southwest-suburban-home-builders-association-pfvwus-pf~1637532347) ## Reviews **Overall rating: 5.0 out of 5 — 32 reviews** ### Reviews **★★★★★ — Deanna Barton, Sept. 2017** > Dave at Accents Lighting is truly one in a million. A 'tell it like it is' type of guy and honest business man. Dave 'accented' both my previous home and my current home exteriors as well as my bar and basement. Your home 'comes to life' when the project is done. A self professed 'control freak', I literally let Dave do his thing on our projects, knowing that he knows his lighting and is extremely talented at showcasing your home in a way that is subtle but brings out the beauty of architecture. **★★★★★ — Spallina Interiors, Dec. 2016** > By far the best at outdoor lighting! Love their work so much I used them on my own home! Very professional, they are able to meet time frame and budgets. **★★★★★ — racwjc98, Oct. 2016** > We hired Accents Lighting on our previous and current home. The buyers on our previous home came at night for a showing and told us how they fell in love the way the house lit up at night. In our current home, we are receiving many comlpliments too. Dave was always pleasant to work with and knew exactly where the lights should be placed to make the house light up beautifully. We are extremely satisfied, and love the way our new home looks at night. **★★★★★ — lincoln2016, Oct. 2016** > Dave Sloan at Outdoor accents was excellent in the working with us on the addition and design of LED lighting to all of our glass kitchen cabinets and the under-counter lighting. We had the old strip lights with individual bulbs which kept burning out and was expensive. Dave came in and replaced all of them and we really could not be happier. Mt wife cant stop looking at them. She is happy with her kitchen again. Such a great clean light !! I recommend Dave to any one looking to add LED anywhere inside their home. Oh and by the way they are also excellent with our outdoor lighting !! > > Mike Franks **★★★★★ — Jessica Halkias, Oct. 2016** > Dave Sloan and his team at "Accents Lighting" are the BEST IN BREED! From start to finish they performed a high quality installation of lights on our newly constructed home that turned out to be worth every penny. I'm extremely happy with the results, and would highly recommend them for your home projects. > > We installed LED lights in our kitchen under the counters, LED accents in our dining room ceiling in the box tray mill work, and exterior LEDs on our entire home (front, back yard, and near grill). Dave's vision to accent the home so it looks "as good if not better" during the evening as it did during the day was spot on. Too many homes in our neighborhood have spotlights everywhere, but "Accents Lighting" did a much better job of meticulously accentuating special areas in and outside our home than I could have imagined. > > I can't wait to use them to put our Christmas lights up in a couple months! These guys are fantastic. Thank you Dave! **★★★★★ — iwantgucci, Oct. 2016** > We have worked with Dave at Outdoor Accents on our outdoor lighting for many years and always loved what he had done. When he mentioned he could install new LED lighting to our kitchen cabinets, we hired him to do that. He did a phenomenal job! He installed strip lighting inside of our cabinets and under counter as well. Dave is always on time, on budget and is very thorough and professional. We are now having him change out all of of our halogen lighting in our lower level bar area, bathroom and common area to all LED lighting. He has many creative ideas and solutions. I would highly recommend him! **★★★★★ — Alex Ritchey, Oct. 2016** > Couldn't be happier with the outdoor lighting job Dave and his crew did around our new pool and backyard landscaping! And the outdoor sound system they installed made our project perfect. I highly recommend Outdoor Accents to anyone who wants to make their yard/house something special! **★★★★★ — ludwig1408, Oct. 2016** > Accents lighting has provided excellent service and professional relation. They installed accent lighting around my house, pool and gazebo area in a professional and high standard of excellence. Their products are far superior to the competitions comparable items. **★★★★★ — jeff\_tucker\_1112, Oct. 2016** > We are very happy with our new outdoor lighting. Dave was impressive as he walked us through our lighting options and what makes Outdoor accents unique! **★★★★★ — roral, June 2016** > Dave and his team did an outstanding job from initial contact through follow up after we had the lighting installed. We had some challenging paths to traverse given concrete slab and pavers and all was done with meticulous care. We were offered multiple designs and choices in lighting. We are very happy customers and hope to use again. **★★★★★ — craig3460, June 2016** > Accents Lighting did both interior and exterior lighting at my house. Very versatile, and also excellent work. They did under cabinet lighting, picture art lighting, wall art, and exterior landscape lighting. My house looks amazing, even had a bunch of neighbors comment on how great the lighting looks. Thanks guys! **★★★★★ — hockeymom232, Oct. 2015** > Accents Lighting provided all of the exterior lighting on our new home. Their recommendations helped us highlight key architectural features of our home, light pathways for safety, and provide mood and task lighting for nighttime outdoor activities and relaxation. Their pricing was reasonable and their staff was professional, creative, courteous, tidy and timely. We have received many compliments on our lighting and appreciate all they have done to improve the look of our home at night. ## Selected projects - [Palos Park Lighting](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/palos-park-lighting-pj-vj~519398) - Location: Palos Park, IL - Photos: 19 - [Plainfield Outdoor Living](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/plainfield-outdoor-living-pj-vj~2273127) - Location: Plainfield, IL - Photos: 3 - [Color Change Light in Pool & Surround](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/color-change-light-in-pool-and-surround-pj-vj~1272424) - Location: Geneva, IL - Photos: 7 - Description: This is a project we had done in Geneva, IL. We had completed this project on existing walls surrounding pool. The client wanted to continue the pool scene outside of the pool and since they had color changing lamps in the pool thought it would be interesting to also have them for the surrounding patio areas. We put RGB Color changing LED Ribbon Lights in aluminum channels with an aluminum baffle strip to conceal the source. The client is able to select a scene with the use of their smart phone… - [St. Charles Landscape Lighting](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/st-charles-landscape-lighting-pj-vj~519404) - Location: St. Charles, IL - Photos: 4 - [Lincoln Park Chicago Landscape Lighting](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lincoln-park-chicago-landscape-lighting-pj-vj~514095) - Location: Chicago, IL - Photos: 2 - [Shorewood Landscape Lighting](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/shorewood-landscape-lighting-pj-vj~519403) - Location: Shorewood, IL - Photos: 12 - [Pavillion](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/pavillion-pj-vj~1355307) - Location: Dwight, IL - Photos: 1 - [Palos Park Lighting](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/palos-park-lighting-pj-vj~514097) - Location: Palos Park, IL - Photos: 3 - [Mokena Landscape Lighting](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mokena-landscape-lighting-pj-vj~519385) - Location: Mokena, IL - Photos: 13 - [Plainfield Landscape Lighting](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/plainfield-landscape-lighting-pj-vj~519399) - Location: Plainfield, IL - Photos: 3 - [Hinsdale Landscape Lighting](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/hinsdale-landscape-lighting-pj-vj~519377) - Location: Hinsdale, IL - Photos: 11 - [Homer Glen Landscape Lighting](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/homer-glen-landscape-lighting-pj-vj~519362) - Location: Homer Glen, IL - Photos: 7 - [Oak Brook Landscape Lighting](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/oak-brook-landscape-lighting-pj-vj~519394) - Location: Oak Brook, IL - Photos: 11 - [Naperville Landscape Lighting](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/naperville-landscape-lighting-pj-vj~519391) - Location: Naperville, IL - Photos: 4 - [Lemont Landscape Lighting](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lemont-landscape-lighting-pj-vj~519380) - Location: Lemont, IL - Photos: 36 - [Chicago Landscape Lighting](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/chicago-landscape-lighting-pj-vj~519371) - Location: Chicago, IL - Photos: 10 - [River Forest Landscape Lighting](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/river-forest-landscape-lighting-pj-vj~519401) - Location: River Forest, IL - Photos: 6 - [Mokena Landscape Lighting](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mokena-landscape-lighting-pj-vj~1252857) - Location: Mokena, IL - Photos: 2 - [Monee Landscape Lighting](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/monee-landscape-lighting-pj-vj~519387) - Location: Monee, IL - Photos: 5 - [Minooka Landscape Lighting](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/minooka-landscape-lighting-pj-vj~519384) - Location: Minooka, IL - Photos: 2 [See all 45 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/outdoor-lighting-and-audio-visual-systems/accents-lighting-pfvwus-pf~629694053) ## Ideabooks - [Wish List](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/96266143/list/wish-list) — 2 ideas - [Architectural Lighting](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/80909993/list/architectural-lighting) — 20 ideas - [Outdoor Living Space Lighting](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/80909463/list/outdoor-living-space-lighting) — 24 ideas - [Living Room Lighting](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/80909053/list/living-room-lighting) — 6 ideas - [Kitchen Lighting](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/80909246/list/kitchen-lighting) — 5 ideas - [Metal Art Lighting](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/80800781/list/metal-art-lighting) — 11 ideas - [Home Theater Lighting](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/80908937/list/home-theater-lighting) — 5 ideas - [Wine Cellar Lighting](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/80908695/list/wine-cellar-lighting) — 7 ideas - [Bar Lighting](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/80908468/list/bar-lighting) — 6 ideas [See all 9 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/accentslighting) ## Community Q&A **Q: how wide is this courtyard brick wall to house** *(in Photo Questions)* A: 15 feet **Q: Interior lighting?** *(in Photo Questions)* I love what you have done with the exterior lighting.
