What people mean by outdoor lighting
"Outdoor lighting" means different things to different people. For some it is the roof edge, for others the walkway and the trees, and for some it is the corner nobody can see. They are related jobs with different answers.
The building itself
On the building, permanent architectural lighting traces the roof edge and the gables, is left in place year round, and changes color from an app. That covers holiday color in December and everyday warm white the rest of the year.
Lighting the yard
Landscape lighting takes care of paths, plantings, trees and stairs. Out back, patio lighting extends the evening. Security lighting handles the dark edges, which is a separate job from the curb appeal work. Accent lighting handles the finish.
Sorting out priorities
If the complaint is "our house disappears at night", start at the roofline. If the complaint is "we cannot see the walk", start with landscape lighting. The yearly holiday setup has one obvious fix. Most properties end up with two of the three.
The commercial side
On commercial property, the same work answers different questions. Facade and storefront lighting keeps a building visible after dark. Outdoor seating needs its own lighting to be used. Parking and walkway lighting comes down to safety, and the entrance

What happens when somebody comes out
The consultation is a walk around the property and a conversation. The useful questions are about how you use the outside of your home: where you walk at night, where you sit, what part of the property goes dark. The way you use the property is what the design should follow.You should come out of it able to explain the plan to somebody else. An unexplained plan is not ready to be priced.A few details get you a more useful first conversation. One story or two. Roof pitch, if you know it. How long the driveway runs. What is planted out front. Rough answers are plenty. It just gets the conversation to something useful faster.
