Outdoor Lighting in Winnetka
Winnetka properties are among the most photographed in the Midwest at night — French revivals, Tudor estates, and lake-bluff moderns. Lighting here is held to the highest standard. So are we.
For over two decades, Paramount Outdoor Lighting Group has been designing, installing, and maintaining outdoor lighting on Winnetka 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 Winnetka homeowners and property managers a single accountable partner for every category of outdoor lighting.

Local Landmarks and Context
Winnetka's character — defined by landmarks like Tower Road Beach, Hubbard Woods, Winnetka Village Green, and the surrounding Crow Island Woods 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 estates street don't necessarily work in a different setting, and vice versa. We design for Winnetka specifically.
