The Virginia Lighting Partners Team
Virginia Lighting Partners
"Virginia Lighting Partners is a regional Lighting Partners franchise serving Northern Virginia and Richmond. We were built specifically around the way Virginia clients actually live. The Northern Virginia market runs on federal contractor families, tech corridor executives, and historic Old Town Alexandria homeowners who all expect a level of polish and discretion that is unusual elsewhere. The Richmond West End is its own world, with classic Georgian and Federalist estate properties in Henrico, Glen Allen, Short Pump, and Midlothian. Our crews are sized and staffed for both. We are a regional team, not a single roving crew, which means the people who design your install are the same people who show up to do it."
Commercial Specialty
We Specialize in Commercial Properties
Downtown Lynchburg storefronts, Wards Road and Timberlake retail districts, office parks, churches, country clubs, hotels, HOA common areas, and multi-tenant buildings across the Lynchburg area. We handle the access protocols, the overnight install scheduling, and the annual contracts so property managers can set it and forget it.
McLean, VA
McLean Estate Permanent Lighting
A McLean estate inside a strict HOA wanted permanent lighting that would survive architectural review, integrate with the federalist main house, and run from an app for year-round use. We prepared the architectural review packet, the system was approved on the first submission, and we completed the install three weeks later. The hardware sits inside the existing cornice and is invisible from the road when the lights are off. The owners now run warm white architectural lighting year-round and seasonal programs from their phone.
Great Falls, VA
Great Falls Equestrian Property Holiday Display
A Great Falls equestrian property with a quarter-mile drive, three outbuildings, and mature landscaping. The owners wanted a holiday display that felt elegant and restrained, not festive. We designed full rooflines on the main house, accent uplighting on the boxwoods at the entrance, and tree wraps along the drive in a single warm white tone. The design reads as architectural quality from the road and the owners renewed it as an annual contract.
Old Town Alexandria, VA
Old Town Alexandria Historic Retail
Six storefronts along a block of King Street received a coordinated holiday treatment commissioned by the property manager. Old Town Alexandria sits inside one of the more rigorous historic districts in the region, so we prepared the historic review packet up front and used a concealed install method that does not penetrate visible historic fabric. The install ran during overnight hours to avoid disrupting retail business and was completed in three nights.
Reston, VA
Reston Tech Corridor Commercial Campus
A four-building Class A office campus in the Reston tech corridor signed a multi-year holiday lighting contract. We designed the campus as a single visual presentation, with matched roofline color temperature across all four buildings, coordinated entrance treatments at each lobby, and shared accent lighting in the landscaped spaces between buildings. The install was scheduled around tenant events and finished early. Renewed for the next season immediately.
Ashburn, VA
Ashburn Data Center Entrance Lighting
A commercial data center facility in Ashburn needed exterior entrance lighting at a commercial scale most residential lighting companies do not handle. We brought our dedicated commercial crew, worked through the access protocol with the facility security team, and completed the install overnight to avoid disrupting tenant operations. The system reads as a clean professional accent during the day and provides full perimeter and entrance lighting at night.
Short Pump, VA
Short Pump Shopping District Holiday Lighting
A coordinated holiday treatment across four storefronts in a Short Pump shopping center, designed in collaboration with the property manager. We installed warm white roofline runs across all four facades, tree wraps along the shared walkway, and accent treatments at each entrance. The install was completed in two overnight sessions to keep retail traffic uninterrupted. The property manager reports the lighting is now featured in lease marketing for the complex.
Richmond, VA
Richmond West End Historic Estate
A classic Georgian estate in the Richmond West End wanted a permanent lighting system that would respect the architecture and run year-round under owner control. The challenge was that the home sits inside a neighborhood historic association with strict guidelines on visible hardware. We prepared the submission packet, used a concealed channel install method along the cornice, and delivered a system that produces architectural lighting year-round and full seasonal programs on demand. Two seasons in, zero service calls.
Midlothian, VA
Midlothian Classic Colonial Refresh
A Midlothian colonial that had used a different lighting installer for several seasons hired us for a full redesign. We redesigned the layout to highlight the front portico and roofline rather than wrapping every available surface, replaced the install hardware with concealed channels that do not show during the day, and tightened the wiring runs. The owners now have a cleaner look, an easier-to-service system, and the kind of restrained holiday display the home was always meant to have.
What Our Clients Say
Representative feedback from property owners across Lynchburg and Central Virginia. Attributed by client role rather than name to protect privacy.
"Our McLean property sits inside a strict HOA and we had been told permanent lighting would never get approved. Virginia Lighting Partners walked the architectural review committee through the design themselves. Approved on the first submission, installed three weeks later, looks like part of the house."
Catherine W.
McLean, VA
"Great Falls equestrian property with a long drive and three outbuildings. We wanted the holiday lighting to read elegant from the road but not call attention to itself. The team came back twice during the design phase to walk the property at dusk. That kind of care is rare."
David and Helen R.
Great Falls, VA
"I work with several federal contractors who hold residential clearances at the property level. Virginia Lighting Partners ran a clean background check on every crew member and worked around our access requirements without complaint. Easy partner."
Marcus T.
Vienna, VA
"Old Town Alexandria has more historic district rules than most people realize. We were warned that lighting on our 1830s townhouse would be a year-long approval process. The team had us approved and installed inside six weeks."
Margaret L.
Old Town Alexandria, VA
"Reston tech corridor property manager here. We hired Virginia Lighting Partners for two of our office campuses and they coordinated the install across three building managers without a single delay. Renewed for the next season the day they finished."
Jennifer S.
Reston, VA
"Our Ashburn data center entrance needed a commercial install at a scale most residential lighting companies do not handle. Virginia Lighting Partners brought a dedicated commercial crew and finished the work overnight to avoid disrupting tenant access. Professional all the way through."
Robert K.
Ashburn, VA
"Arlington row house, tight access, no driveway. Most crews would have charged a logistics premium just to get in the door. The team came in with a smaller crew, parked legally, and finished the install in one afternoon. No drama."
Priya N.
Arlington, VA
"Leesburg horse country property. We wanted permanent lighting that would highlight the colonial main house without lighting up the surrounding pastures. The design respected what we wanted. The crew respected the property."
Whitfield C.
Leesburg, VA
"Our Richmond West End home is on a tree-lined street and we did not want anything that screamed for attention. Virginia Lighting Partners designed a warm white roofline that reads as architectural lighting year-round and a restrained holiday program for December. Perfect."
Eleanor B.
Richmond, VA
"Glen Allen estate with a long approach drive. We wanted tree wraps along the drive plus a full roofline package on the main house. The team turned it around in a single weekend and the crew was the cleanest I have hired in years."
Thomas G.
Glen Allen, VA
"Short Pump shopping district commercial install. We coordinated a unified roofline treatment across four storefronts in the same complex. Foot traffic up year over year, and the property manager is using the install in lease marketing."
Anna F.
Short Pump, VA
"Midlothian classic Georgian. We had used a different company for years and the install quality had been slipping. Virginia Lighting Partners came in, redesigned the system, used hardware that does not show during the day, and the difference is night and day."
Charles V.
Midlothian, VA
"Henrico West End home with mature landscaping. We wanted accent lighting on the magnolias plus a permanent roofline. The design crew got the magnolia lighting exactly right. The lights highlight the trees rather than overwhelming them."
Linda M.
Henrico, VA
"Fairfax City colonial. We are picky and we have replaced two prior lighting installers. Virginia Lighting Partners is the only one who actually listened to what we asked for. Three seasons in, no service calls, no complaints."
Daniel R.
Fairfax City, VA
"Sterling tech corridor commercial. Virginia Lighting Partners handled five connected office buildings on a single contract. Single point of contact, coordinated design, no scheduling conflicts with our tenants. Easy decision to renew."
Lisa H.
Sterling, VA

Hi! Tell me about your home. What areas are you hoping to light up?
I have a two-story colonial, three big oak trees, and a back patio.
Great setup. I am thinking warm-white roofline channel, trunk-up oak wraps with starburst tops, and bistro strings across the patio. Want me to build out the full concept with pricing?
Frequently Asked Questions
- Most NoVa HOAs require architectural review committee approval before any exterior modification, including permanent lighting. We have been through the process across McLean, Great Falls, Vienna, Reston, Ashburn, and most of the Loudoun and Fairfax county associations. We prepare the submission packet for you, including design renderings, hardware specifications, and color samples. We have a strong approval track record because the systems we install sit inside the existing trim and are not visible from the street when off. If your HOA has unusual requirements, tell us during the initial consultation and we will design to them.
- Yes. A meaningful percentage of our Northern Virginia clientele works in federal contracting or related fields and holds residential security expectations at the property level. We background check every crew member, we can provide credentials in advance of a scheduled visit, and we coordinate access through whatever protocol you need. This is common in our McLean, Vienna, Great Falls, and Arlington work and we have it built into our intake process.
- Yes. Old Town Alexandria has one of the more rigorous historic district review processes in the region, and we have been through it. We use a concealed-channel install method that does not penetrate visible historic fabric and is not visible from the street when the lights are off. We have prepared and submitted historic district packages successfully for clients in Old Town and we can walk you through what to expect from the approval timeline.
- The work itself is consistent, but the design conversation is different. Richmond West End clients tend to favor Georgian, Federalist, and classic colonial architecture and they want the lighting to feel restrained and timeless. Northern Virginia clients run a broader stylistic range, from historic Old Town Alexandria townhouses to contemporary Great Falls estates. We staff a dedicated Richmond crew and a Northern Virginia crew separately, and the designer who walks your property is the one who knows your market.
- Yes, easily. Virginia winters are mild compared to the Northeast or Midwest. Snow events are typically three to six inches and ice storms are the more demanding weather. The equipment we install is rated for far harsher conditions than Virginia produces, which is actually a reason permanent lighting performs so well here. You get the year-round flexibility, app-controlled color and pattern, and seasonal programs without the equipment fighting the weather the way it would further north.
- For Virginia, we recommend reaching out by mid-September. Our late October and November calendar fills early. The install window in Virginia is longer than in New England because the weather is milder, but the booking pattern still favors customers who plan ahead. Permanent lighting installs run year-round and lead times are shorter.
- Yes. The Dulles corridor through Reston, Herndon, Ashburn, and Sterling has a commercial scale that is unusual for regional lighting work. We run a dedicated commercial crew for the corridor and we are practiced at coordinating installs across multi-building campuses, data center entrances, office complexes, and the supporting retail districts. We work overnight or off-hours when tenant access requires it.
- Holiday lighting is a seasonal service. We design, install, service through the season, take down after, and store the system for next year. Permanent lighting is a fixed LED channel system installed once, controlled year-round from an app. The same hardware lets you run warm white architectural lighting year-round, red and green for Christmas, blue and white for Hanukkah, orange for fall, red white and blue for Memorial Day and the Fourth of July, and team colors for game day.
