230 Masters of Landscape Lighting Refined Outdoor Lighting has grown into one of the Valley's most trusted leaders in landscape illumination, yet its roots remain proudly personal. Family-owned and operated, the company is built on a simple belief: Exceptional outdoor lighting should blend craftsmanship, innovation, and genuine care for the people who live with it every day. For founder Patrick Ryan, that philosophy took shape long before Refined Outdoor Lighting officially opened its doors in 2019. He discovered his passion for low-voltage lighting in 2013, learning the craft hands-on and honing his skills alongside some of the industry's most respected professionals. Then, he set out to build a company he could be proud of — one rooted in creativity, integrity, and an unwavering commitment to quality. Today, Refined Outdoor Lighting offers a full spectrum of services to bring clients fresh ideas for enhancing outdoor living while improving safety, value, and curb appeal. As the company continues to expand, what remains constant is its original promise: thoughtful design, exceptional craftsmanship, and a lighting experience that feels every bit as refined as the name suggests. REFINED OUTDOOR LIGHTING CAVE CREEK, AZ REFINED OUTDOOR LIGHTING Patrick Ryan Cave Creek, AZ 480-415-0305 refinedlightingaz.com BOTH PAGES: These three scenes showcase the transformative power of intentional landscape lighting, turning ordinary pathways, gardens, and façades into sculpted nighttime experiences. At the entry, warm column lighting and soft, tree-mounted accents guide the eye down the drive, creating a welcoming sense of depth and rhythm. In the desert garden, precise uplighting grazes the textured surfaces of towering cacti and surrounding sculptures, casting dramatic shadows that celebrate form and contrast against the indigo sky. And across the estate, layered illumination highlights architectural lines, manicured hedges, and mature trees, blending functional visibility with refined elegance. Each vignette demonstrates how thoughtful light placement and carefully chosen color temperatures can elevate natural and built elements alike, enhancing safety while revealing the landscape's character after dark.
