Be sure to tune in this fall to watch your favorite lighting experts bring life to these homes & help Mike & Kyra restore the block!

Buying Back the Block with Gleam Electrical and Lighting Design

At Gleam Electrical and Lighting Design, we believe lighting can do more than beautify—it can build up communities. That’s why we’re proud to be part of Buying Back the Block—a movement to restore and revitalize neighborhoods through thoughtful design, safe electrical infrastructure, and outdoor lighting that fosters pride and connection.

As outdoor lighting experts with projects throughout Indiana, Ohio, and Florida, we’ve seen firsthand the power of lighting to transform not just homes, but entire communities. Whether it’s illuminating a walkway to improve safety or designing custom landscape lighting that boosts curb appeal, every project is an opportunity to invest in something bigger.
