Outdoor Lighting in Wilmette
Wilmette is a North Shore showpiece: lake breezes, mature parkways, brick Georgians, stuccos, and the kind of architecture that earns dramatic uplighting and disciplined moonlighting.
For over two decades, Paramount Outdoor Lighting Group has been designing, installing, and maintaining outdoor lighting on Wilmette properties of every size. Our four specialized divisions — Advanced Lightscaping (landscape), Frosty's Holiday Lighting (seasonal), Patio Lighting Pros (outdoor rooms), and Roof Lites Chicago (permanent JellyFish) — give Wilmette homeowners and property managers a single accountable partner for every category of outdoor lighting.

Local Landmarks and Context
Wilmette's character — defined by landmarks like Gillson Park, Bahá'í House of Worship, Plaza del Lago, and the surrounding Centennial Park area — informs how we approach lighting design here. The architecture, plantings, lot sizes, and street character all shape what kind of lighting reads as right for the place. Lighting designs that work in a lakefront street don't necessarily work in a different setting, and vice versa. We design for Wilmette specifically.
