Designed around the property
We plan fixture placement, brightness, viewing angles, controls, and how each zone feels at night.
Our Story
How The Light Guys Started
What started as a family Christmas tradition grew into a Bakersfield team trusted for clean lighting, audio, video, and outdoor living installs.
The story
What began as a holiday tradition became a year-round way to improve homes.
Brendan Collins started hanging Christmas lights around Bakersfield in 2008 after growing up with the tradition in his own family. The work was simple at first: helping homes feel brighter, warmer, and more memorable during the season.
Homeowners kept asking what else could be improved after the holidays. That is where The Light Guys grew: landscape lighting, patio string lights, permanent lighting, interior upgrades, outdoor speakers, TVs, wiring, and control systems.
The standard
The install should look intentional before anyone notices the hardware.
Clean wiring and finish work
We care about the daytime view too: straight runs, hidden wiring where possible, and polished details.
Built for real use
The system needs to be easy to control, reliable in Bakersfield conditions, and practical for everyday life.
What we do now
One crew for the lighting, sound, video, and controls that make a home work after dark.
A finished backyard is rarely just one thing. The lighting needs to set the mood, the speakers need to cover the space, the TV needs clean power and cabling, and the controls need to make sense.
Local proof
Homeowners call us when they want the space to feel complete, not just brighter.
From curb appeal and walkways to patios, pool areas, kitchens, rooflines, and outdoor entertainment spaces, our work is built around how the home should feel when people are actually using it.
