We had an outstanding experience with DC Lighting Pro! Edwin was incredibly professional, courteous, and punctual from start to finish. He expertly removed and reinstalled our Govee permanent lights, and the quality of his work exceeded our expectations.
What really stood out was Edwin’s attention to detail and meticulous workmanship. He took the time to ensure everything was installed perfectly, leaving the lights looking flawless and functioning exactly as they should. Throughout the process, he was polite, respectful, and happy to answer any questions we had.
It’s rare to find someone who combines technical expertise with such a positive and professional demeanor. If you’re looking for someone who takes pride in their work and delivers exceptional results, I highly recommend DC Lighting Pro and Edwin. We couldn’t be happier with the service!

Edwin at DC Lighting Pro was awesome to work with! He and his crew did an outstanding job replacing most of the landscape lighting in the front of our home which wasn't working properly anymore. He did a great job uncovering the problem and then came up with a plan to replace the broken lights in a cost efficient way. He showed up when he said he would, was a great communicator and did the job for a very reasonable price. He even came back at night to make sure the lights were working properly and looked the way they were supposed to look. The lighting in the front of our house looks amazing! Couldn't have asked for a better experience! Highly recommend!

I highly recommend DC Lighting Pro, I used them to install the Christmas lights on our house. Edwin is awesome and he made the whole process incredibly easy. He's responsive, professional, and handled everything from design to installation and takedown. The final result looked amazing, with clean lines and great attention to detail. I got so many texts from neighbors wanting to know who did the lights!

I met Edwin Lastra from DC Lighting Pro at the Leesburg Flower Show several years ago. I hired him to do repair work on my outside home lighting that someone else installed a while back. I was so impressed with his work that I've hired him several more times since that initial experience. In addition to being very personable and exceptionally responsive, he does excellent work at a very reasonable price. I have more outside lighting work planned and DC Lighting Pro will again get my business.
