[Jeff J. ]
My wife
and I own a turn of the century (1900’s) two story home in southern Illinois.
When we found the interior wiring to be extremely deficient, since it was
a fire hazard, we knew it was time for a professional. We were searching for
an electrical contractor who could help us “make our home work”
for us, while improving the wiring.
Mr. Johnson brought to the table many great lighting ideas as well as better
ideas on how to wire the house. We were truly impressed with Steve’s
knowledge of lighting as well as wiring in general. The job was completed
on time, and safely.
Now our
home is not only safe in a technical sense, but the new lighting also made
our home work for us. I recommend Southern Lights to all of my friends.

Nice and bright and I wish I would have done it sooner.

…Carbondale New School (CNS), a tuition based, parent
owned school serves pre-k through eight grade students and occupies a school
house nearly 100 years old. Maintaining a building of this age requires consent
work to ensure a safe environment and encourage a pleasant learner atmosphere
for our students. As a private school, funds for major improvements must come
from the parents.
Inadequate lighting and out of date lighting
fixtures had left this wonderful place of learning dark, dingy, and not conducive
to good learning conditions. When Steven Johnson, owner of Southern Lights,
enrolled his children in CNS, he immediately approached the Board of Directors
about the poor light conditions and presented studies proving that poor lighting
had negative effects on staff productivity and children's learning abilities.
A cost analysis on the money being wasted maintaining the old inefficient
lighting fixtures and the money that would be saved by installing new technology
was presented.
Thanks to Southern Lights and Mr. Johnson (who volunteered all his time
and labor), Carbondale New School has all new energy efficient lighting.
As a result of the new lights, CNS has reduced energy costs, more light for
less money, and our old building is brighter, happier, and a more productive
place of learning.
I recommend Southern Lights for all your lighting needs. They really do provide not just bright lights but the right lights.
