From time to time I think it’s a good idea to get other information and opinions from other outdoor living and outdoor lighting professionals from around the country. \u00a0Since I’ve been doing this landscape lighting thing for quite some time, I’ve developed some great relationships with others in my industry from around the country.<\/p>\n
