Brentwood, TN Outdoor Lighting
Designed for Homes That Demand
More Than the Ordinary.
The standard approach to outdoor lighting — a package, a price sheet, and a crew that’s seen a thousand properties just like yours — doesn’t belong on a Brentwood property. What belongs here is something built from scratch around your home, your landscape, and your vision for how it should look after dark.

Why Brentwood Homeowners Choose Us
We are artists. Light is our medium.
Pelham McMurry founded Light Up Nashville on a straightforward observation: most of the outdoor lighting industry was built around franchises running cookie-cutter systems with little design sensibility and even less artistic vision. He saw beautiful homes being underserved by an industry that treated lighting as an installation problem rather than a design discipline. Light Up Nashville was built as the alternative.
Every project begins with Pelham and his team walking your property, studying the architecture, reading the landscape, and understanding the interplay of light and shadow that will define how your home is experienced after dark. Every decision — the fixtures, the placement, the color temperature, the layering of light across surfaces — is made deliberately for your property, and held to the standard that Brentwood demands.
Architectural Lighting
A Brentwood home has earned its presence.
Architectural lighting from Light Up Nashville makes sure that presence doesn’t disappear at sunset. The details that define your home’s character — the roofline, columns, and entryway — deserve lighting designed for them specifically: precision-placed fixtures, carefully selected beam spreads, and thoughtfully chosen color temperatures that reveal your home’s best features rather than simply illuminating them. Security is a natural result of that precision, as a well-lit exterior eliminates vulnerability without sacrificing beauty. At this level, the two should never be in conflict.
Landscape Lighting
An exceptional landscape deserves lighting to match.
Light Up Nashville brings the same design intention to your outdoor spaces that we bring to your facade. Gardens, pathways, water features, patios — each element is considered individually and in relation to the whole, creating a layered lighting environment that reveals the depth and character of your landscape after dark rather than flattening it with general illumination. Smart controls integrate seamlessly into that design: zone by zone, you decide what’s lit, at what intensity, and when.
Holiday Lighting
The holidays, handled with the same level of craft.
Light Up Nashville designs a custom holiday display for your Brentwood home that is installed professionally, maintained throughout the season, taken down when the holidays are over, and stored safely until next year. The same trusted team and the same high standard, year after year.

The Light Up Nashville Difference
The difference between good lighting and the right lighting.
There are plenty of outdoor lighting companies operating in Brentwood, and several of them will deliver a perfectly adequate result. But Brentwood homeowners who have experienced a truly well-designed outdoor lighting system know the difference immediately. It’s the moment a guest arrives and pauses before saying anything. It’s the way your home looks from the street at night and stops feeling like a house and starts feeling like a landmark. That difference isn’t about the fixtures — it’s about the design and the intentionality behind every placement decision, beam angle, and layer of light.
