From the initial proposal to final installation everything went seamlessly and the end results were just as we hoped.  Chris has a great design-sense, he and his teams workmanship was professional, they were punctual and in the end, I highly recommend him.
Lou L | Homeowner | Ridgewood, NJ
As a business owner myself, I know the importance of doing quality work.  Chris has obviously put together a team that exemplifies those qualities.  Chris has worked on my property for a couple of years, measuring and designing the perfect lighting system to enhance the foliage in my yard.  Chris and his entire team are absolutely true professionals.  Thank you Chris for exceptional service.
Paul M | Business Owner/Homeowner | Hasbrouck Heights, NJ
I hired PanaLuna Design Group, after searching for a lighting company for two years, for my outdoor landscape lighting needs. The moment I met with Chris, it was obvious he was very knowledgeable and extremely thorough-just ask to look at a sample proposal. Chris and his team were on schedule, on budget, and didn’t rest until every detail was perfect. My family and I are thrilled with the work Chris provided and highly recommend PanaLuna!
Jennifer L | Homeowner | Tenafly, NJ
Chris, almost 10 yrs ago designed and installed my outdoor lighting system, which is in perfect shape today thanks to his top notch maintenance and recommendations for change as the landscaping changed. He is through and reasonably priced for the product you get.
Ray G | Homeowner | Financial Industry | Wyckoff, NJ
We had purchased an outdoor lighting system some time ago.  The company that installed our lighting system did a nice job but as the years went on, the lighting system started to have issues.  We could never reach our installer to service our issues.  We contacted the distributor where the lighting fixtures we purchased and they suggested that we contact Chris at PanaLuna and that he would return our call and take care of our issues.  That was 3 years ago and we still use PanaLuna for all our lighting needs.  The staff is friendly, they work quietly and if I didn’t know they were coming, I would know they did any work.  But I always know what work was performed because I receive a detailed email explaining what work was performed and how long it took!  Very professional company. One time I looked out my window and I noticed one of the guys picking up leaves from our flower bed.  They really care!
Robert G | Executive & Home Owner
Being a person who prides themselves on doing most things myself, I was very reluctant to turn over the lighting of my property to anyone.  I know I am a very difficult customer and I am very hard to please but working with PanaLuna was a great experience.  My wife and I were so pleased with the results of lighting the front of our home, we had Chris return to design and light up our backyard and pool area.
Al | Homeowner & Construction Manager
Chris Macaluso of PanaLuna Design Group has worked on my property for several years and has designed and implemented a beautiful outdoor lighting plan for both the front and the rear of my home. The backyard design beautifully showcases my extensive rose garden and pool while offering security lighting as well. And just this past spring, Chris made suggestions and created a plan to best serve my needs for upgrading the path lighting for attractiveness, security and ease of care. His attention to cost, selection of design and even availability for my time-frame was exemplary and every suggestion he had was always conveyed to me with clarity, timelines and thoroughness. His is very pleasant to work with, very accommodating with any requests and always prompt in addressing issues or needs. He makes this aspect of home ownership less stressful with his dependability and service.
Mary Kay S | Homeowner & Educational Professional
I have had the pleasure of knowing Chris for over 10 years. He has a natural leadership style that enables his team members to give their all and their best. He has been a great mentor to me and others, and I have modeled many of his behaviors and practices in my own life, both personal and professional. Considering ‘hard and soft’ skills required to be a well-rounded leader, I can think of very few others of his caliber.
Stan M / Entrepreneur & Paramedic
I worked with Chris when he was the General Manager at The Governor Morris/Westin Morristown Hotel. He was a very effective team leader, always leading by example. He has a passion for hospitality and instilled that in others. Chris always had a visible presence in the hotel both to associates and to guests. He always challenged you as an individual to reach your potential while supporting and guiding you along the way. Chris empowers his team and provides a learning environment for his associates. He promotes team work while recognizing individual talents and needs.
Ava D / Human Resources
PanaLuna is a true professional company. Service is great. Chris is always there when you need him. I even see him drive by at night to check on my lighting system. Quality service!
Frank M | Homeowner & Insurance Specialist
I have known Chris Macaluso for well over 20 years, having managed him in his first position in the hospitality industry. I was pleased and proud to observe as his career blossomed. Chris and I have kept in touch over the years, and I have always known him to be passionate about whatever endeavor he has chosen. He is energetic, honest and ethical. He would be an asset to any organization and I know he will bring that same passion and customer service to your property!
Bob J / Hospitality Professional
Chris is a personification of Integrity, hard work, dedication, sincerity and consistency.
It is refreshing indeed to know that when dealing with Chris, one gets nothing but perfection and high quality work!  I highly recommend Chris not just for the quality of work he does, but also for the wonderful human being that he is. He is a gem of a person.
Sai P / Real Estate Professional / Home Owner
Chris is an exceptional candidate for any operational and/or sales & marketing position he pursues. In the hospitality industry, it is a rare individual who can assume roles in either discipline, but Chris has proven over and over again that he can master tasks and work loads that require great authority, creativity, strategy and well thought-out execution. In the 20+ years I have known him, his career progression has shown how his superiors have rewarded him with increased responsibility and greater challenges. And with each new position, he has always risen to the occasion by employing best practices and achieving substantial results. Chris is a rare find in today’s hospitality world!
Ron C / Retired Hospitality Professional / Homeowner
Chris is a great guy to work with. He is highly competent and conscientious in everything he does. I’ve known him for about twenty-five years now and seen him tackle numerous businesses including a long stint with the Marriot Corporation where he became general manager of first class hotel properties. I am sure this latest venture will prove fruitful for you and your company. Please feel free to contact me directly if I can be of any further assistance.
Jack S / College Professor
Chris is a hard working and honest person. He is highly skilled and motivated to finish the task at hand. There are few people who take great pride in what they do and Chris is one of those people.
Anthony R / Small Business Owner/ Home Owner
When you work with Chris you get the hardest working dedicated ally you could want. He is detail oriented and leaves nothing to chance. On top of that he is easy to talk to and easy work with. There is no one better.
Ross G / President – Business Owner / Home Owner
I worked with Chris for 3yrs at the Westin hotel in Morristown, one of the best general managers I have ever worked with, absolutely trustworthy and ethical, which for me are two of the most important qualities a person can have.

### Outdoor Lighting Design & Installation
With almost 20 years of experience in outdoor low voltage lighting, we will work with you to develop a lighting design tailored for YOUR Home or Business.  There is no standard design to follow since every project is unique. However, there are design principals which are important which we follow adding beauty and value to your home or business when the sun goes down!
There is not a specific cost per fixture with our designs, we base our price on the look you want to capture, the functionality which comes along with a particular look or design, the specific fixtures chosen and the labor it takes to accomplish this!
Of course, the specific fixture selection plays a significant role in the price!  That is why we provide different fixture options, so you have choices when it comes to price!  The design phase of a lighting project is very important and if done correctly will actually save you money!  Generally speaking, with outdoor low voltage lighting, less is MORE!
We take a lot of pride in our installation process.  Since we have been doing this for 20 years, we have developed some of the best installation practices within the industry.  And, we work neatly and efficiently!
##### Our Process
##### Consultation
This step is the most important since it allows both of us to walk your property, discuss overall goals from an aesthetic & functionality perspective and for us to get a feel for your style and budget.  This is a no obligation free service!
##### Design & Proposal
We will present you with a detailed lighting design so you can visualize what we are proposing and why!  We will include fixture options and corresponding prices for each option.
##### Agreement
After discussions on the design and proposal have been completed and you decide to move forward, we put EVERYTHING in writing so there are no surprises.  This includes a deposit schedule, all details about the products chosen such as materials and warranties, scheduling and signatures from both us.
##### Installation
Once an agreement has been signed, a deposit received, we order all fixtures and material and we set a date agreeable by you for installation.  We will always communicate when we will be on your property.   Our goal is to always leave a property in better condition than when we arrived!   How long a project / installation takes depends on many factors, but generally most lighting jobs take between 1-3 days.
##### Nighttime Adjustments
Depending on the complexity of the installation, we may need to return when the sun goes down to make some nighttime adjustments.
### Product Lines
We have access to all the major and reliable low voltage outdoor lighting manufacturers.   We believe STRONGLY in matching the right fixtures for your home/business.
### Outdoor Lighting Repairs & Upgrades
We service, repair, and upgrade existing systems installed by other contractors.  If your current fixtures are in good condition, there is no need to purchase an entire new lighting system (unless you prefer) as we can simply convert your system to LED’s.  This is a very cost effective and energy efficient option!  In addition, warranties on LEDs start at 5 years!
If you have an older lighting system, we can determine the best options for updating or replacing specific elements of the system.  We can walk you through all your options.  We are always looking for ways to save you money!
We don’t use LEDs from Amazon or the Big Box stores.  We only use reliable LEDs with strong warranties and trustworthy manufacturers.  This is important if something does go wrong with an LED.  Our manufacturers back up their products.
Technology has changed so much over the last few years and pricing has also come down on LED’s.
### Outdoor Lighting Maintenance & Maintenance Plans
It’s very important to understand that all lighting systems will require some maintenance.  Your lighting system will be exposed to the elements, possibly landscapers, children & pets.
Fixtures can shift, move, need cleaning, or potentially become damaged as a result of other exterior work. We perform a comprehensive system check including your transformer(s) to ensure your lighting system is working properly and looks as great as the day it was installed. This will not only extend the life of your investment, but it will also keep your system under warranty!
Having a maintenance plan is the best way to protect your investment.   We offer the following.
Maintenance should be completed in the spring and fall!
1. Comprehensive Maintenance Package – we do everything!
2. DIY Package – we provide you with a comprehensive list of things to do and a log for warranty purposes.
3. DIY Package with some Help – we provide you with a comprehensive list of things to do and a log for warranty purposes but we visit to handle all items inside your transformer(s).
### Outdoor Lighting Do It Yourself Options
Some of our customers prefer to do it themselves!  We are here to help!
How much help is up to you.  We can help you with the following:  Keep in mind that you should purchase the lighting fixtures from us as we will save you money.
* Design Plan
* Installation Instructions
* Tool List or If you need the proper tools, you can rent them from us
* We can make the connections inside the transformer
* Pro Tips
* Much More
We can also be available by phone for questions while you are installing your lighting system.
Price is determined by the options you choose and the specifics for each option!
