Why Partner With iLights Modern

Bigger Tickets, Same Work

Lighting is a high-margin add-on ($2,500–$8,000+) that grows the total project without adding a single task to your crew's plate.

We Handle Everything

Custom design, professional installation, nighttime reveal, pristine cleanup, and all future service calls. You look like the hero.

Real Referral Commissions

A fixed percentage of every project you refer, paid when the client pays. Plus priority scheduling and free design consults for your bids.

Your Name Stays Safe

We contract directly with the homeowner, carry our own license and insurance, and own every warranty call. Your reputation only gets the win.

How It Works

1

You Make the Intro

Mention us to your client, or just send us the address and a couple of photos. That's the whole job — 5 minutes, tops.

2

We Design & Demo

Free custom lighting design within 48 hours — plus a free nighttime demo at the property, so your client sees their home lit before spending a dollar. Install takes 1–3 days.

3

You Get Paid

Commission lands when the client pays. Every referral tracked transparently — you always know where it stands.

Straight Answers

Will my clients actually pay for lighting?

In OC's premium neighborhoods, roughly 1 in 4–5 outdoor renovation clients adds lighting when it's offered with nighttime photos. Most contractors simply never offer it — that's the opportunity. And with our free nighttime demo, your client sees their own home lit up before committing — the demo does the selling for you.

Couldn't I just do the lighting myself?

Low-voltage design, fixture selection, and photometrics are a specialty — DIY installs are the #1 source of callbacks and warranty headaches. Referring keeps your crew on your core work while you still earn a commission and the client credit.

Am I responsible for your work like a sub?

No. We contract directly with the homeowner, carry our own license and insurance, and handle all service calls and warranty work. Your name only gets attached to the win, never the work.

How do referral commissions actually work?

You make the introduction, we close and install, and you receive a fixed percentage of the project value when the client pays. Every referral is tracked transparently — you see its status at all times. No paperwork on your side.

I already have a lighting guy. Why switch?

Ask what commission they pay and how fast they turn a design around. We offer free 48-hour design consults for your bids — try us side-by-side on one project. No commitment.

What does it cost me to join?

Nothing, ever. There's no fee, no quota, and no exclusivity requirement. Refer when it makes sense for your client — every referral simply earns.
