Outdoor Lighting Perspectives Launches Oklahoma City Franchise

Oklahoma City, Okla. (PRWEB) April 7, 2008 -- Outdoor Lighting Perspectives (OLP), a global architectural and landscape lighting company, has launched its newest franchise in Oklahoma City, Okla. The operation, owned by Mike Shelburne and Steve Krablin, will serve clients in Oklahoma, McClain, Canadian, Cleveland and Logan counties of Oklahoma.

OLP of Oklahoma City will join 80 other OLP owner-dealers worldwide, offering artistic landscape and architectural lighting for home and commercial applications, ranging from façades, decks and patios to gardens, trees and pools.

Krablin was first introduced to OLP when he hired the company to install lighting at his Houston home. He was so impressed with OLP's artistic lighting design and customer service that he suggested to Shelburne, his brother-in-law and an Oklahoma City area resident, that they open a franchise in Oklahoma City.

"I have a background in electrical work and heating and air-conditioning contracting, so I felt like we had a solid foundation on which to build our business," Shelburne said. "But it's the company's sales and marketing support and extensive training that have exceeded my expectations and fully prepared us to be in this business."

Shelburne sees the Oklahoma City area as an ideal location for outdoor lighting services because of the steady residential growth that has continued despite the slowdown in other parts of the country. He also notes the continued popularity of residential landscaping and outdoor living in the relatively mild climate and hopes that it will result in future customers for the OLP Oklahoma City franchise.

"Most Oklahomans enjoy the outdoors and treat their yards as an integral part of their home," Shelburne said. "While non-residents may think of Oklahoma as flat, there are many areas with rolling hills and trees, which make for an ideal setting for new homes and our outdoor lighting designs."

OLP lighting specialists follow the company's proprietary lighting process to assure homeowner satisfaction. Trained installers provide complimentary consultations during which they set temporary lights at dusk so that homeowners can see exactly how the lighting installation will look and make any adjustments.

After a homeowner's approval, installers place the permanent system, which includes fixtures crafted from corrosion-resistant brass and copper and backed by a 10-year warranty. OLP dealers also offer ongoing system maintenance, including a complimentary first year of service and an annual maintenance plan which includes inspection, bulb replacement and adjustment of fixtures for landscaping growth.
