    “I mock up the house while I'm standing in the driveway. By the time I'm back in the truck, I've closed the deal. LumenCast has paid for itself ten times over.”
    Marcus R.
    Owner, Holiday Lighting Co. — Los Angeles, CA
    “We bid a $42k landscape package last week — showed the homeowner the after photo on my iPad and she signed on the spot. Used to take three follow-up visits.”
    Daniel K.
    Lead Designer, Outdoor Lighting Pros — Dallas, TX
    “Every Christmas crew should be using this. Our close rate jumped from ~30% to over 70% on quoted jobs once we started sending mockups with every estimate.”

    Common questions

    Is there truly free landscape lighting software?

    Yes. LumenCast gives every new account 3 free render credits with no credit card required.

    What happens after the free credits?

    You can buy a small pack, start a $1 three-day trial with 10 credits, or subscribe from $19/mo. Nothing bills automatically unless you start a trial or plan.

    Do I need design experience?

    No. Choose the fixtures you want and the AI places realistic lighting on the photo.

    Can it help size a transformer?

    Use our free transformer sizing calculator to estimate wattage and transformer size for the fixtures in your design.

    Is it for homeowners or contractors?

    Both. Contractors use it for bids; homeowners use it to plan before hiring an installer.
