Exterior lighting renderings

    Lighting renderings without the render farm or the wait.

    Traditional lighting renderings mean a 3D model, a designer, and days of turnaround. LumenCast turns one phone photo of the real house into a photoreal night rendering in about 45 seconds — built by a Los Angeles lighting company that uses it on its own bids every day.

    No credit card. Renders in ~45 seconds.

    Built for the way installers actually sell.

    No 3D model needed

    Skip CAD, SketchUp, and photo-editing. The rendering is built on the actual photo of the property, so the architecture stays exactly as it is.

    Landscape and holiday

    Uplights, path lights, wall washes, rooflines, C9 ridgelines, wreaths and trees — choose exactly which fixtures appear.

    Minutes, not days

    Outsourced lighting renderings typically take days. Here a final render takes about 45 seconds, so you can iterate while the client is with you.

    Draft and final quality

    Use half-credit drafts while you dial in options, then one final-quality rendering for the proposal.

    Share link or PDF

    Send a before/after slider link or a branded PDF the homeowner can forward to their spouse or HOA.

    Pay per render

    No per-seat design fees. Credits are charged per render, and failed renders are never charged.

    “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.”

    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

    What is a lighting rendering?

    A lighting rendering is an image showing how a property will look at night once the lighting is installed. It helps homeowners approve a design before any wire is run.

    How is this different from a traditional 3D lighting rendering?

    Traditional renderings require building a 3D model of the property. LumenCast works directly on a photo of the real house, so it's far faster and keeps the actual architecture and plantings.

    How much does a lighting rendering cost?

    One final-quality render is 1 credit and a draft is half a credit. You can start a 3-day trial for $1 with 10 credits, or sign up free for 3 credits.

    Can I control which fixtures appear?

    Yes. Only the fixtures you select are added — for example, uplights without path lights, or rooflines plus C9 ridgelines.

    What if a rendering comes out wrong?

    Use 'Report this render' on the mockup. Every report is reviewed and credited back when the miss is ours.
