Lightning Bug is great. Their quote was 35% of a competitor. Their work was thorough and they really went the extra mile. They offered some optional upgrades with a true soft sale tact that I appreciated. They showed me what everything would cost even as we changed the plan as we went. The entire process was great.…

Exceeding pleased with the service they provided. The purpose of the trip was to replace flood lights. When I asked for a light with a greater coverage and more lumens than the ones they were installing, they found and purchased four different lights to satisfy my request. That is the type of service we all hope…
