About Us
Locally Owned & Family Run for over 20 Years
When the sun goes down, light and shadow become the most important design elements. Outdoor lighting design should define space, direct the eyes, soothe emotions, and invite you in. Light gives us security and functionality while creating shadow to bring out definition. The simple textured surface of a stonewall during the day, can become a work of art when mixed with light and shadow at night.
Let us show you how outdoor lighting will provide a whole new dimension and use of your existing landscape and hardscape investment.
Family Roots with Local Experience
LDF Outdoor Lighting was founded on a deep appreciation for thoughtful design and local expertise, beginning with founder Mike Imondi’s background in landscape architecture and decades of experience in Central Ohio.
What started as an independent design-focused practice evolved into a dedicated outdoor lighting company driven by Mike’s fascination with how professionally designed lighting transforms landscapes and architecture after dark. Today, as a family-rooted business led by a nationally certified lighting professional, LDF combines design integrity, technical expertise, and a passion for lighting to create refined, high-quality outdoor lighting systems built to last.

Why Choose Us?
We take pride, enjoyment, and ‘ownership’ in every lighting project we install. The challenge of designing outdoor areas is that they are always changing. My background in landscape design has provided us with the experience to recognize and plan for those changes when applied to outdoor lighting.
Specialization
Lighting is our sole focus — our systems are designed, engineered, and installed with the expertise that only true specialists can provide.
Certification
Mike & Anthony are Certified Low Voltage Lighting Technicians, (CLVLT #1505, #2409), by the Association of Outdoor Lighting Professionals - A certification held by less than 1000 technicians nationwide.
Local
Since we are not a franchise, we are only accountable to our customers, not a corporate entity dictating products and streamlining creativity into a one size fits all package.
"My entire family has called on Mike, Anthony and the team at LDF Outdoor Lighting for nearly 20 years, for all of our outdoor lighting projects. From landscaping to pool projects and exterior home lighting these guys are the best. I personally appreciate working with local, family-owned companies that not only do great work, but they excel in service after the sale. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them for any project, big or small!"

"We reached out to LDF Outdoor Lighting because we wanted a local company that specialized in lighting. We heard back within the day! Our old landscape lighting was 15 years old and some of the fixtures were no longer working. LDF was able to use many of our existing pathway lights that were still in good shape and incorporate them with new fixtures. They updated our old transformer for backyard lights and added a new transformer for new front lights. Now we have outdoor lighting in our full yard. It looks amazing!"
— Jen Erb
"Anthony, and Mike were great to work with throughout the project. Jacob and Wes did a fantastic job with the installation of our architectural outdoor lighting. The entire staff was prompt, courteous and payed special attention to details. We also added colored bulbs so that we can change the ambiance for the holidays. They are a company that stands behind their products and workmanship."
— Gary Barstow
"Great plan and quality team. I’ve used this business for over 10 years. Reliable, professional and committed to a quality outcome"
— Loretta Policella
"Excellent experience. Anthony and his team had fantastic design suggestions for how to make our home look great. The installation team was quick, knowledgeable, and great with next day adjustments as needed. Competitively priced for high-end outdoor landscape lighting with high quality, durable materials. 100% recommend."
— Amit Bathija
"The team was very responsive and professional through the planning and installation process. I would recommend this to any one who wants to take more control of their holiday lights and avoid the labor-intensive process of installing and de-installing. I also won't miss the "why did this string of lights suddenly stop working!""
— Gary Gleckner
"We recently upgraded our outdoor lighting system, which was originally installed over 15 years ago. LDF Outdoor Lighting did an incredible job repurposing and enhancing our existing setup. They upgraded the bulbs, added new fixtures to highlight the architectural peaks and trees around our home, and the results are stunning. Driving up at night, our house is beautifully lit and and very well professionally designed. We’re beyond pleased with the quality of work and the excellent service we received. Highly recommend LDF Outdoor Lighting!"
— Jenna Vasil
"They responded quickly to our initial inquiry and were at our home within a few days to access our needs. Anthony listened to what we were looking for and then presented a proposal within one day. The actual work was scheduled within two weeks and we would could not have been more impressed by the overall install by Jacob who was both very knowledgeable and conscientious. He was meticulous with the placement of the lights and wiring as well as our landscaping. I honestly could not have asked for a better overall experience from start to finish and would highly recommend this company."
