Posting an update to this as it's been many years since I posted my first review on Mobile Illumination.

Our representative, Nelson, has always been great with helping us achieving our goals to light the street festively and within our budget. Read my review below. We have been using the company for 13 years and they continue to be the top holiday lighting company in all of Los Angeles. Give them a call for any of your lighting needs. read more

We worked with Faith from Mobile Illumination to put up some festive holiday lights on our house and we are so pleased with the results. We went with bright multicolored lights with fun balls that hang from the trees, really turned out great! The team setup the timer and left a remote to control the colors and speed of lights. If anyone is looking for a professional holiday light installation this is your company! Thanks Faith! read more

We used Mobile Illumination for both it's holiday lighting service and most recently for it's electrical service. On both fronts they are top notch professionals. I recommend this service to anyone! read more

Mobile Illumination has provided our outside Christmas decorations for approx 10 years. We started small and now light up the neighborhood! They put up the lights mid November and come back after Thanksgiving to turn them on. Although not cheap, there is much to be said for not having to purchase and store, hang and take down, the holiday lighting. They get it all done in a day (a long day). Office staff is competent and helpful. If there are any issues with the lights, they come out and take care of it. We have had people leave notes in our mailbox thanking us for providing the holiday cheer. Cars stop in front of our house to view the display all evening long. I only wish we could live across the street from our house for the month of December! read more

Called to inquire about getting my Christmas lights hung. They obviously screen calls by stating their jobs start at $2K in fees, only wanting large jobs. I thought it up front, but also unreasonable, selfish in nature, and outrageously expensive. Not every job is gonna be a large one, but they only want these large jobs, or folks with deep pockets. I wanted some lights hung, but not for a mortgage payment. read more

i had my christmas lights done for the first time in 2022 with Oscar at Mobile illumination. Oscar was great, came out ask what my ideas were, what my budget was and then gave me his thoughts. the lights were beautiful and classy between the lights on the house and the reindeer on the lawn. and when Porter ranch winds came and wreaked havoc they came out immediately and sandbagged them which fixed the issue . they were very careful with my artificial turf no damage. i'd definitely use him and the business again read more

For several years, Faith has been working with us to decorate the exterior of our home for the Christmas Season. She is friendly, professional and has been very helpful with her recommendations. The installation and removal are done by knowledgeable workers. The quality of their products are outstanding - we love coming home and seeing our home lit up with holiday lights and decor. I am very pleased with this company and would highly recommend their services. read more

So come to find out Mobile Illumination is the parent company for ProConnect Electrical. I recently purchased a Tesla and I needed a level two charger installed in my garage. I looked for the recommended electricians on Tesla's website, I saw Mobile Illumination out of Northridge. I went to their location and met the owner, Jason, what a good dude. I asked if they did EV charger installs he said yes. I inquired about, what "Mobile Illumination" was about, he proceeded to give me a tour of their warehouse, apparently they are not only only electricians, but they specialize in holiday lights, event lights, decorative lighting, etc. Apparently they do the light display for the LA Zoo. How cool. After the quick tour, I was guided to his sister Jennifer, who is either a project manager or director, she set me up with a scheduler and scheduled me for an install appointment. Rodney, came over to scope the project out, we had a plan and he set me up for install dates. In the meantime, estimate was sent and scope of work was sent as well. Paid everything online very efficient and organized. Dennis and Salvador came in to do the install work. All the install was clean and safe, trust me I'm OCD with that stuff. I thought they were just going to run flex conduit, but to my surprise they ran the higher quality conduit. Work was done within a few hours. EV charger works great!!! I highly recommend them, give them a shot. Family business with quality employees!!! read more

From start to finish 5 stars! I had the pleasure of working with Dan Borgstrom at Mobile Illumination he is the Senior Design Manager. He came to our house for an estimate. He was so wonderful work with! He knew exactly what we were looking for with the decor for the party! He was able to stick with my budget and create a purple wonderland! When his team that came to the house to set up they were extremely professional, friendly and did such excellent work! The house was a magical full of purple and Christmas lights and purple washes. We used them for a 60th birthday fairy tale party! I would highly recommend this company whenever you have a celebration or just for beautiful Christmas lighting. Every time I called the office for assistance they were on point. Dan was available whenever I had questions. Thank you for your beautiful work and I look forward to hiring yall again!!! Happy Holidays!!! read more

Our headquarters was decked out for the holidays by FGPG, who subcontracted MI to handle all the lighting/decor installation. This was our first year using them and what a difference it made. The MI team was efficient, personable, and thorough. From our first meeting in the summer to installation in October to dismantling in January, they provided a seamless and transparent process. Everything looked great. A couple of tweaks during the windy season were addressed quickly. Look forward to working with MI in the years to come. read more

Mobile Illumination always does a great job! We've had them do our holiday lights as well as some special lighting in the backyard. Not the cheapest but always the best!! read more

Oscar is great! Super responsive and helped design beautiful exterior lighting. Highly recommend.

Mobile illumination is such a great company to use for holiday lights!! We love them!!

I have nothing but good things to say about Mobile Illumination. My sales contact, Faith, is timely and responsive. From setting appointments to go over my wants and needs, sending a very transparent contract, and finally scheduling installation the process is a breeze. read more

The best! Do not even think about hiring any other company. Service is top notch and they have a great design team. Especially if you want new ideas. The entire staff is friendly and they want to make you happy. I love the installation team who works hard. They aim to please as the saying goes. Oscar is my representative and I would give him a 2 thumbs up and a 5 star rating. read more

some people don't follow through but others do. Nelson does. Thank you. value ok. not great.

We have worked with Mobile Illuminations for over 15 years. They are professional and all around great at what they do. It is a pleasure to work with Jason; he never fails to meet our expectations. read more

I was having issues with my outdoor sound system. I called Nathan and asked for help. He scheduled an appointment for me and his technician, Jesse called me the morning of to let me know his time of arrival. They worked quickly and resolved the issue. Thanks for helping me out! read more

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY FOR LIGHTS THEY DO NOT FOLLOW THROUGH ON THEIR CONTRACTUAL AGREEMENT. This was our THIRD YEAR doing lights with Mobile Illumination and paying over 5000$ for lights that other people pay less than half that for. A part of the reason you pay so much is that they are supposed to send someone to fix your lights immediately if they go out. I called over 4 Times and spoke to Noelle who is extremely rude and flippant. NO ONE EVER CAME OUT AND FIXED MY LIGHTS!!! Frank the supposed general manager was just as rude and said he would call me back, he never did. All through Christmas my lights were out. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY THEY DO NOT APPRECIATE YOUR BUSINESS OR YOUR LOYALTY. read more

I only write reviews if a company really deserves it, impressing me enough to stop my busy day to let people know, "stop looking and call these guys!" I emailed Mobile Illumination and received a pretty quick reply to set up an appointment to get a bid on outdoor lighting. I asked if they could come in the morning at 8:30? The reply was, "10am is the earliest". I didn't get right back to them, till about 8:30am the next morning, asking if they could come at 10am. No reply. I then asked if they could come later in the day. Again .. no response. I emailed again and mentioned I can find another lighting company if they are too busy. Again, no response. It's unbelievable that business is that good they would just ignore a potentially big job and not even give someone a courtesy call back to try and set up an appointment. To me, this isn't a company who wants or needs business. read more

Mobile Illumination did an amazing job!!! Jesse was so nice. He was able to get the job done within a few days. Highly recommend this company! read more

Made an appointment for a lightning designer to come out for an estimate, I took time off work, no one showed, no one called. Just booked my business with someone else. Very disrespectful. read more

DO NOT HIRE THIS COMPANY. Their sales/administrative/management/service departments do not communicate, they operate in a rogue fashion, not scheduling repairs in a timely manner, asking for payment on a work order before the work is performed. Showing up unannounced, charging my card for substandard repairs that should have been corrected without charge. We contacted Mobile Illumination to install lighting on our tree in our backyard. After negotiating a price (paid in cash) that worked for us, your salesperson, Oscar Sosa managed the team during the installation. It was clearly understood that as the tree grows, the lighting strands would need to be adjusted. After about one year, a part of the lower trunk stopped lighting. I called Mobile Illumination to schedule a service call, and was told that I would have to pay a service charge upfront of $325.00 in order to get my work order scheduled. I found this odd as it was not apparent exactly what the scope of work would be, but I agreed to pay this. After I paid the service fee upfront, I then called at least 4 times to get on the schedule. Finally getting scheduled, Mobile Illumination sent a worker out to troubleshoot the issue with the tree. I asked that he address the area that wasn't lighting and to also take a look at the trunk to see if the strands needed to be loosened. He did not have the correct strand color with him and had to come back. He did return and addressed the lower area that was not working. One day after the "repair" a larger part of the tree didn't work. Again, I had to call over three times to get this addressed as I was charged, and the work again, was substandard and the issue not corrected. Mobile Illumination was not proactive in addressing the issue and in addition, did not contact me to schedule the repair. This past weekend, and to our surprise, a worker just showed up in our backyard, without prior notification. My daughter happened to be home and called me so I could communicate with the technician. I asked him why he just showed up and why I had not been notified. His response was, "I had a list of jobs to take care of and you were on the list." I was not informed that there was going to be an additional charge, I assumed that he was correcting the prior substandard work that the last technician performed. In addition to the mismanagement of my job, a charge came through on my credit card last night for $721.53. This charge was not authorized. Mobile Illumination was not authorized to maintain my credit card information on file. read more

I can not say enough good things about this company! Jesse is very talented at designing outdoor lighting. We have permanent outdoor lighting that makes our large yard into a wonderland. Nathan keeps his word on appointments and charges and very good on follow through. We have been extremely pleased at every level. read more

Nice internet site. Responsive in selling me a package. Problem was with the follow thru and operational follow up. Hung my Holiday lights mostly on one circuit. Overloaded the circuit, combined with the rain, and our Holiday lights were out most of the season. They actually came back once and set it back up the same way. When I finally got a call from the supervisor, who promised to get back to me, he tried to put the blame on me. This is a service organization without service. They billed me in advance and proved to be the Scrooge of the Holiday season. I would never recommend this company to anyone! Big disappointment to my family and grandkids.. Lots of money, no value, I'll look in the future for a company that understands lifetime value of repeat customers... read more

2017 Had many years of wonderful service with this company (as shown in my original post), but was compelled to update our review after what was a terrible experience. Normally I would not post such a thing however the work, service and overall lack of care for us as a customer was appalling. The young lady in the office was incredibly rude after calling and attempting to correct their billing error. Was then given a general manger who was equally as disingenuous. Then had to call countless times just to get lights fixed, only to have to wait multiple days. Not sure what has happened, but will be hoping they can't correct it. 2016 As an estate manager and personal assistant, promptness and attention to the finer things is important to me and my client. From start to finish I was very impressed with this company. Receptionist was courteous and our designer Dan was wonderful to deal with. We are not an easy account to deal with and their patience was noted. Strong recommendation and welcome to contact for referral. read more

The folks at Mobile Illumination are terrific and I highly recommend them. After years of struggling with Christmas lights and local mom-and-pop folks, MI delivered an amazing job and top-notch professional service, not to mention maintenance.

Used them last year but their response time is horrible. I've attempted to contact them this year multiple times and still nothing. Amazing they're even in business. $$$ not worth the money read more

Last winter/spring during my 2nd floor addition - I reached out to Mobile Illuminations to get some advice on what type of electrical outlets I should install under my eaves for future Xmas lights. They were so helpful and willing to help guide me even though I was not a customer. That impressed me....so I gave them a call a few weeks ago and contracted them to install lights along all my eaves. Now that the work is complete I wanted to write a review and let others know. This company is the real deal and there prices are reasonable for the professionalism and quality that you get! read more

I have been using Mobile Illumination for many years now, mostly for Holiday lighting. Most recently they installed permanent backyard lighting on several trees for an event! They stole the show and my yard looks gorgeous every evening! They are lovely to work with and Kaytia is a fantastic designer and was able to help me stay on budget. If there was ever an issue (due to rain, etc), she always had someone come out immediately to handle. Their items are of the highest quality which explains for the slightly higher cost. read more

I just got work done by this company and it was a pleasure to work with. Rob was my lights designer and he did an incredible job. My house looks amazing with the new lights. Rob did everything and anything to make this project an amazing experience for my family. I will be doing more work with them. Price is very reasonable for the work they do. 5 Stars all the way. read more

Been a customer of MI for years now. They make my twin girls faces light up as much as my house during the holidays. Very precise and professional. I have also been smart enough to use them for school fundraiser decor. They've transformed an ordinary ballroom into a raging 80s party. Very creative ideas with a variety of ways to make your event truly spectacular. Thanks MI read more

Worst experience we have ever had with any contractor both in terms of performance and customer service! We paid in full for all new landscape lighting and then discovered several problems with the lighting that Mobile Illumination had installed, both major and minor. In addition, our credit card was charged in full without our authorization, before the contract was completed. Despite the fact that we reached out to Mobile Illumination multiple times via phone and email to have them fix the problems, M I refused to take responsibility for any of the issues brought to their attention including inoperative lights, loose wires, and outlets not finished to code. In order to make all of the new lights operative and complete the job to code, we had to call in a different electrical contractor at our additional expense to correct Mobile Illumination's shoddy work. Clearly a miserable experience that MI has repeated with quite a few customers if you read all the Yelp reviews. Would never recommend this company to anyone. read more

The best lighting place I've had! I use them for landscape lighting and Christmas lighting! The were so fast and the customer service is amazing! Highly recommend them! read more

Do not order from here if you expect customer service AFTER they've taken your money. They are very nice and responsive at first, but once you pay if something goes wrong with your lights you are out of luck. And that's after I paid over 3k for Christmas lights. read more

Only days before the Memorial for Chester Bennington of Linkin Park at the Hollywood Bowl, the Band wanted to transform the venue with hundreds of thousands lights in the trees all around the venue in the spirit of their song "One More Light." Mobile Illumination scrambled to execute a truly amazing tribute to a beautiful person with a beautiful heart. Their professionalism and care to this occasion will never be forgotten. Thank you. read more

I will start off this review with a very honest confession... I worked for them in 2007 and the owners and employees are personal friends of my older brother. He has worked for them for 3+ years. That being said they are quickly growing to be by far the best you can get. The prices can be a tad high but that is only because they are full service and worth every penny (If you have the money to spend, otherwise, you might as well save all your money and do your lights yourself). This is a holiday lighting company, so they're only available from about October through January (January is primarily and only really for removal of lights). They start off the season installing mostly commercial locations such as The Grove in LA, The Lakes and Civic Arts Plaza trees in Thousand Oaks, Westlake Promenade, etc. They go on to install residential lights right up until Chistmas Eve (well most are done before that, afterall it's a family run business and most people want to see their family during the holidays). They also are available for service to the lights they install throughout the season until they remove them. Removal of lights and any repairs that might be needed are all included in the price paid in full when the lights are installed. Check out their website for more details or just call the awesome office staff for more information (I used to be one of those girls, be nice to them and remember they're there to help you and get plenty of unhappy calls when lights don't work in the rain...try to end your call to them with a thank you or something else nice...remember 'Tis the Season! Say hello to Devon and the girls from Lynda too! :-P) read more
