Client Reviews
"Kelly Francis took our courtyard of gorgeous ancient live oaks and transformed it into a lovely night time garden by filling the trees with soft light and enlivening the whole experience with his floating "fire fly lights" (small bulbs on the ends of copper tubes hanging at a variety of levels from thin discrete wires)...It is enchanting, and gives us great pleasure everytime the sun goes down. As an architect, principal of Lake/Flato Architects, who works with a lot of talented consultants, I can certainly tell you that it is a joy working with Kelly Francis."
- Ted Flato | Lake Flato Architects | San Antonio & Austin, TX
"We have used KFI for both interior and exterior lighting projects and are truly amazed by how he is able to transform space with lighting. His attention to detail and awareness of asthetics is artful . Our home would not be the same without his sensitive touch." |
"Kelly Francis has done our outdoor lights for 20 years. I would highly recommend him. He did our front and back yard. The house looks great at night and we feel more secure with good outdoor lighting at night." |
"Kelly Francis Illumination did a wonderful job lighting my very dark, dense yard with soft, and well positioned lights. They were able to install the bulbs very high in the trees adding interest to the mature landscape. Kelly is very artistic and easy to work with. The new firefly lights are especially fun!! You won’t be disappointed and your yard will look fabulous!"

"After previewing some installed Fireflies, we committed to over 50 to be installed in the large live oak trees surrounding our house. The Fireflies add not only soft illumination but a depth and an animated dimension as they gently sway in the slightest breeze. The effect was even more dramatic as clusters of lights swayed behind obscuring branches creating the Firefly, an effect not available with conventional fixed lighting. We are extremely satisfied with the Fireflies and have had many compliments and inquiries…"

"I still have that same sense of joy and wonder as I did as a child! They are beautiful and whimsical from all points of view and just a small breeze sends them into a gentle dance." |
"Excellent lighting plan and professional execution!! Complete backyard transformation with the addition of Kelly's copper fireflies. I highly recommend Kelly." |
"Kelly Francis Illumination installed Firefly lights at my bed and breakfast in downtown Austin. The product is exceptional! Each Firefly is handmade and of the highest quality. The system has worked flawlessly since installed over a year ago. Placement of lights is important too. Kelly placed the lights in a large Live Oak tree to maximize effect. The lights produce a starry effect at night. During the day the copper tubes add a cool element to the property's atmosphere."
- Willis Ponder | "The White Hat" Camp Congress Airstream Park | Austin, TX
"I can't tell you how happy I am when I look at my Firefly lights. They have completed the ethereal feeling of my outdoor room that I had been searching for. The soft moving glow of the Fireflies is a must for any outdoor space." |
"We love our Firefly outdoor lights! They truly make the backyard special and we couldn't be more pleased. We are the envy of the neighborhood." |
"We hired Kelly Francis to do firefly lights in our backyard. They turned out amazing! It is not only a conversation piece but a real attractive setting at night. He worked diligently to get them just right and has returned to change out bulbs promptly. I would highly recommend his company!"
