Outdoor Lighting for Kenner Homes
You pull into the driveway after dark and the yard you've put years into is just a shape. The oak you're proud of is a black outline. The walk to the front door is lit by whatever the porch fixture can reach. That's the call we get most often, and it's a design problem more than a fixture problem.
We're Jon and Melissa Kujawski, and we run LIT Outdoor Lighting as a husband and wife team out of Covington. We're lighting designers first and installers second. When you call us about your Kenner home, you're talking to the people who'll design the system, and we're personally involved in every project we take on.
What a Designed System Does Differently
A lighting plan starts with your house and your yard, not with a box of fixtures. We walk the property, work out what's worth lighting and what's better left dark, and then decide where each fixture goes and where it points. Uplighting a live oak from thirty feet away is a different decision than uplighting a young crape myrtle at ten, and getting that wrong is what makes a yard look lit up rather than lit well.
Plenty of companies will install outdoor lighting. Most of the time that means a few up lights and a run of path lights. A full design brings in second-story lights, downlighting from above, lights set into concrete, and dock lighting where there's water. That's the part that takes skill, and it's the part you notice every night for years afterward.
Serving Kenner and the Surrounding Area
Kenner is part of our regular service area, and the work here looks different depending on where in town you are. Out in Chateau Estates the lots are deep and the oaks are mature, so we're often lighting from well back on the property and downlighting through branches instead of crowding fixtures against the house. Nearer the lakefront around Laketown the homes are newer and more exposed, and fixture placement has to account for wind and for salt air coming off the water. In the older parts of town the lots are tighter, the houses sit closer to the street, and most of the impact comes from lighting the front elevation and the walk rather than the yard behind it.
We also handle lighting for HOAs and for locally owned businesses and offices around Kenner, which is a different job again: more attention to entrances, signage, and the paths people use after closing.

Built for the Weather We Have
South Louisiana weather is tough on outdoor lighting systems. Intense heat, heavy rainfall, constant humidity, poor drainage, and salty air near the lake can quickly expose weak fixtures and poorly sealed connections.
LIT Outdoor Lighting installs commercial-grade equipment designed for long-term outdoor use. We avoid standard wire nuts and use secure, watertight connections that resist moisture and cannot easily separate. Careful installation helps prevent the corrosion, outages, and recurring repairs that often affect lower-quality systems.
Why People Hire Us
We Design It, Then We Install It
The person who plans your lighting is the person who has to make it work on site. We don't hand a drawing to somebody else and hope.
We Come Back After Dark
Every install ends with a nighttime visit where we aim and adjust each fixture. Daylight tells you almost nothing about how a yard will look lit.
We Use Commercial-Grade Equipment
Fixtures and connections built to hold up in this climate, so the system still looks right several seasons in.
We're a Family Business
LIT is family owned and operated out of Covington, and we'd rather know our clients than just invoice them.
How We Work
From the first call to the final adjustment, here's how a project runs.
1
Initial Consultation
Schedule a free consultation and walk the property with us. Tell us what you want to see at night and what's bothering you now.
2
Custom Design
We put together a lighting plan for your home, fixture by fixture, based on the house, the yard, and how you use both.
3
Finalize Layout
You review the plan and settle on the look you want. If something won't work the way you're picturing it, we'll say so right away.
4
Installation
We install the system, then come back after dark to aim and adjust every fixture. That visit is where the design comes together.
Frequently Asked Questions
These are the questions Kenner homeowners ask us most often before getting started.
Most residential systems go in within a day or two once the fixtures have arrived. Bigger properties take longer. We'll give you a realistic window when we've seen the property and know what the plan involves.
Yes. Front-of-house lighting is where a lot of homeowners begin, and it's the part you and everyone driving past see every night. We'll plan it so the rest of the property can be added later without redoing the first phase.
Yes. We set the system to come on and go off on its own, and we'll show you how to adjust it. Different zones can run on different schedules if that suits how you use the yard.
Low fixtures set beside a walk in the flower beds handle that, and they get planned alongside everything else rather than added as an afterthought.
