Outdoor lighting is really several different jobs
"Outdoor lighting" covers a lot of ground. Some mean lights on the house. Others mean the yard. Some mean the side yard that never gets any light. They are different problems, and they get solved differently.
Lighting the house
Permanent outdoor lighting puts an LED channel along the roof edge, matched to your trim so daylight hides it, and controlled from a phone app. One install handles the holidays and the everyday.
Lighting the yard
Below the roofline, the work is paths, garden beds, trees and steps. Patio lighting makes the back of the house usable after dinner. Security lighting handles the dark edges, which is a different question from making the front look good. Accent lighting picks out the details.
How to decide what you need
A house that vanishes after sunset needs light on the building. If the complaint is about the path to the door, path lighting comes first. The yearly holiday setup is what permanent lighting exists to solve. Most properties end up with two of the three.
For businesses
On commercial property, the same work answers different questions. Facade and storefront lighting is about being seen from the road. Outdoor seating needs its own lighting to be used. Parking and walkway lighting is a safety matter, and entry lighting sets the tone for a property before anybody is through the door.

The house height, the roof line, the driveway, and what is growing in the yard. Rough answers are plenty. It just gets the conversation to something useful faster.
