I contacted Bayllites concerning the large Junipers at the top of my driveway that were concealing 12 of my up lights due to 2 years of growth. Mr. Edgell arrived that afternoon, dug up the lights and placed them about 4 feet out from the landscaping after which time he buried the wires. Mr. Edgell returned after dark to make sure the lights were adjusted properly as well as the lights in the rest of the yard. My landscaping is large and quite extensive so there was a lot of adjusting to do. In addition an underwater light was cleaned and adjusted creating shadowing and light on the nearby landscaping. Once again Mr. Edgell did this free of charge.

Dear Ms. [Member Name Removed] you have been a wonderful customer, asking me to install so many types of landscaping lights for both of your beautiful homes. Lighting can be a little expensive, lights that are not creating the beauty intended have to moved and adjusted to provide the look you desire. After coming back and seeing the new results, it was so worth moving your lights. Both of your homes are just awesome, yet very different. I am very happy that both projects have been something that has such meaning for you and your family. I hope you and your family have a grand Christmas and New Year. Thank you so very much for contacting Baylites. Take care, Lewis Edgell

The phone/cable company came out to bury the cable, I was not home at the time, and they cut the underground wires controlling 20 - 25 LED up lights. That night I noticed the lights were out and notified Mr. Edgell via email. The next morning at 8:30 Mr. Edgell had located the cut and had it repaired. He then tested all the lights and four transformers. I have 198 plus lights on the front, sides, and back of my property. Mr. Edgell turned on all the transformers and checked each light, replaced any that was out of focus do to plant growth at no charge. ( This contract was 1-3/4 years out of warranty.)

Mr. Edgell had done extensive lighting on my property. I have been so impressed with his work ethics and attention to detail that there was no question that he would install lighting for my Mother. Mr. Edgell arrived at my Mother's home promptly at the appointed time and began the installation of the uplights and then the posie lights, he also had to install a transformer. When he was done with lighting he buried all the cables, replaced the mulch that was pulled out of the way and made sure everything was in order. Mr. Edgell returned that evening to adjust the lights so that everything was perfect. My Mother was so pleased and happy with his work that there is no doubt that he will be back again to do more lighting for her. inst

Even though the problem was caused by someone else Mr. Edgell responded promptly when I called him for help. He came out the next day, IN THE RAIN, and quickly made the required repairs tomrestore the lighting. It has worked perfectly since then. I could not ask for more responsive service.
Description of Work: Postscript to original review in September, 2015: Mr Edgell repaired a problem caused by another service person working in my yard. My new lighting system had been in for about a month when I decided to add additional landscaping to my yard. The nursery personnel planted the new shrubbery and inadvertently disrupted the lighting wiring. I did not realize there was a problem until that evening when the lights failed to come on in that area of the yard.

If you are considering landscape lighting for your property, Baylites is a smart choice. Mr. Edgell brings both a creative flair and the technical skill to assure that you will be delighted with the results. He helped me to envision the many lighting possibilities and crafted a lighting design that fit my needs, taste and budget. Mr. Edgell did an excellent job communicating the status, timing & next steps so I always knew what to expect. I found him to be extremely hardworking and dependable, and my job was completed on time and on budget. I felt I received good value for the money spent, given the high quality of the equipment and labor hours to install. I have been amazed and delighted just how much I enjoy the addition of this lighting. It has raised the bar on how much I enjoy my home, from both outside and inside.
Description of Work: Baylites provided a creative lighting design for my front and back yards and then installed the system in a timely and efficient manner. My yard is large and dark, with many trees. Mr. Edgell took full advantage of those trees as well as my landscaping to create a beautiful nature scene which I can now enjoy for hours after it gets dark.

Dear Ms. [Member Name Removed], working with you was a wonderful surprise and gift for me. You contacted me about walking your dog at and night and then your creative spirit took you to lighting your property and surrounding view. It was so much fun watching your excitement and enjoyment when the project was completed. I greatly appreciated the trust you placed in me to make recommendations, explain them and then order your parts and install within days. Lighting ones home can be pricey, but it is something that no one ever regrets doing, and generally each year their creativity and interest brings about requests for additional lighting. With the lifetime warranty for all your parts from the manufacturer you can be assured many wonderful years of enjoyment during all aspects of weather. Ms. [Member Name Removed], I sincerely thank you for contacting Baylites. Please let me know how to serve you in the future. Take care, Lewis Edgell Baylites

Mr. Egell came to my home to assess the areas I wanted highlighted. He made some valid recommendations to the plan I had invisioned. Two days later Mr. Edgell returned and installed my lighting. I can't begin to tell you how happy I am with the lighting. My neighbors can't believe the transformation my yard has taken. I am 96 years young and hope to enjoy my yard for many years to come. Mr. Edgell was prompt, professional, and completed the installation in a timely fashion. I recommend Mr. Edgell to anyone interested in quality lighting at resonable prices. The lighting comes with a guarantee from the manufacturer.

Excellent company and representatives to work with!
Description of Work: Our back yard was extremely dark, and I often found myself going in around dusk because of poor lighting. I told my husband about a company I saw on the internet called Bay-Lites. I contacted the representative and scheduled an appointment. He came out and provided me with an estimate for backyard lighting, along with some additional security tips. The thing that most impressed me was that the company didn't try to give, or sell me more than I had asked for. I wanted to stay within our budget. Nowadays, companies get too busy trying to sell you more, and don't listen to what you've REALLY asked them for. After we decided on the type and location of the lighting, it was ordered and installed within 1 week. Instantly, our backyard was beautiful. We now have affordable up-lighting that created a beautiful ambience, along with some very unique illusions coming from the trees. Thank you Bay-Lites for making such an improvement in the looks of our back yard. I hope your company will come back soon - we're ready to show off the front of the house now!

I was more than satisfied with the results. The work was done very professionally, and used only the best equipment. The church vestry members were satisfied that the work enhanced the appearance of the church garden, and that it was done correctly. I felt that it was a fitting memorial to my son. I would recommend his work to anyone, and will use Baylites in my own landscape plan in the future.
Description of Work: Installed lighting and equipment in a church garden, which I selected as a memorial to my son who had died the previous Aug. The Baylite's owner, Mr. Edgell, worked with me and the vestry of Wicomico Episcopal Church to light trees and other garden elements.

Mr. Edgell came promptly on the appointed date and time discussed. The installation went smoothly and was completed in four days. The up lighting in the woods was spectacular. Mr. Edgell placed them under trees that truly radiated when on. I have some huge junipers at the entrance to my driveway which was a challenge to light but Mr. Edgell even placed some lights inside the shrubs which just highlighted them beautifully. In my center island he placed some Kichler Posy lights at the point amongst a daylily bed. At the other end there is up lighting under a red bud tree which is surrounded by Nadinas. Along the brick walkway to the front stairs as well as the steps leading to and including the dock, Mr. Edgell placed pathway lights. Two of the trees in the back of the house also had up lighting. Mr. Edgell installed six Tiki light around the deck and last but certainly not least, Mr. Edgell installed green LED underwater lights. These lights have attracted crabs, fish of all sizes and even turtles. My Grandchildren love to sit and watch the underwater activity, what a learning experience for them. That addition to the lighting is priceless. Just to see their little faces light up with excitement is beyond priceless. Mr. Edgell's professionalism and creativity was amazing. His suggestions far exceeded the vision I ever imagined for my home. Mr. Edgell installing lighting for my other home in Richmond which turned my yard and home into a fantasy land. Although this home is different altogether, more like a cottage by the waters edge, he transformed it into something truly beautiful. When I sit outside and look around, it takes my breath away. The lighting also gives a sense of safety and security not just for me but my Grandchildren and Mother as well. I will be contacting him again for lighting around my 96 year old mother's home. She was so impressed with his work and she so enjoys my lighting that I couldn't think of a better gift for her.
Description of Work: Mr. Edgell asked me what vision I had for my property which is on the water. After walking the grounds, Mr. Edgell made some suggestions that would enhance the ideas I had. Mr. Edgell wrote up an estimate for me after which I signed a contract to have the lighting done three days later. Everything that we discussed and beyond was done in a professional manner by Baylites. I am extremely pleased once again in this contractor and his vision and mine for a beautiful night time setting.

Dear Ms. [Member Name Removed] it truly was fun watching you become creative about your goals for your bay home. All the lights suggested and used in your lighting project are made for harsh salt air conditions, providing you years of trouble free service and beauty. I recently drove by your home in my boat, your home is truly amazing on the water at night. Your Kichler Tiki lights, along the Kichler dock lights created not only beauty and interest but safety and security for you and your family at night while on the water. Please let me know how I can serve you, I will be back soon to clean and adjust your lights as needed. I first call and determine what your schedule is. Thanks again this was a fun project. Take care, Lewis Edgell

I have used Baylites for two homes on the Northern Neck. They have provided top quality lights for my projects and have designed landscape lighting that suited these homes. Mr. Edgell has a wonderful sense of design and balance. His lighting plans accent the architectural design of the homes with the use of light and shadow. The trees on the property become whimsical works of art. I have a great feeling of security with the lighting designs provided. The jobs were done in a prompt and professional manner and were reasonably priced. They also included warranties on the lights and installation. I highly recommend Baylites for great landscape lighting for any home or commercial property. I love, love my lights. Northern Neck Homeowner

Dear Mrs. [member name removed], thank you for writing recently. I have had so much fun helping your with your two homes, both so different yet just beautiful in their own way.

Your timers are set to create a secure environment, please let me know if you would like to have more lights installed. Your LED lights and equipment will be trouble free for years and years to come.

I loved what he created in the front of my home, it added an elegant look to my home. I decided to have lights installed in the back of my home as well. Mr. Edgell helped me create a wonderland there too. With up-lighting in the trees, posey lights with colored shades around my pond and flower beds. Japanese water garden inspired pathway lighting were installed for all pathways along with lighting in around my two beautiful Koi ponds. I rarely want to go to sleep at night, it is just beautiful for all seasons of life. My family and friends state that they feel like they are at Lewis Ginter Gardens.
Description of Work: In January of 2013 I contacted Mr. Edgell, owner of Baylites for outdoor lighting through his website at www.baylites-llc.com I wanted lighting for the front of my home. He asked what is the look or feel concerning lighting that I wanted to achieve. I explained I was looking for a simple but elegant look for my house and yard. Mr. Edgell made an appointment to come out the following day to review my property, ask more questions concerning the look desired and then provided verbally some recommendations. Those recommendations where then followed up within one day with written recommendations. He was on time for our appointments and I found him to be polite and informative about the products he uses. He was helpful and creative with the lighting placement as well as the type of lighting that would be appropriate for the look I wanted. Mr. Edgell explained to me that all the lights/transformers have a lifetime to limited lifetime manufacturer's guarantee. He also stated that he only uses LED lighting that generally last 32-42,000 hours and would be cut back on electricity use by at least 80% Mr. Edgell also stated that he would come out numerous times to make sure the lights were adjusted properly. I have to say the light fixtures are of the highest quality. His pricing is competitive when compared with other companies but the quality is much better. Mr. Edgell has been out several times to make sure the lighting is perfect, especially when spring and summer arrived. My home truly looks spectacular and I owe it all to Mr. Edgell and Baylites. I give him the highest recommendation. He is a man of high integrity, honesty and work ethics.

Dear Mrs. [Member Name Removed], thank you for writing Baylites. Wow your home, grounds, landscaping are just amazing. We started out with your front yard and you just became so creative in your views for lighting for sides and back yard. This was very exciting for me, we worked well as a team, discussing a plan that would create beauty, safety and security while not overdoing it. Truly the layer affect has created interest and a little mystery in our lighting effects for your home. Your two Koi ponds are just amazing with the lighting. Please remember we can change the lenses to allow for different colors during different times of the year. Your Kichler LED lights and transformers will last for years trouble free. Please let me know how I can serve you, I will arrange for a night time light adjustments and cleaning soon. Take care, Lewis Edgell Baylites
