Backed by GE Money’s Sales Finance unit, the financing program is available through 70 U.S. OLP franchise locations and provides several benefits, including competitive rates and promotions with no down payment required or prepayment penalties, as well as a quick and simple application process.
“Outdoor lighting enhances outdoor living, maximizes security and increases the appeal of any property,” said Scott Zide, vice president for Outdoor Lighting Perspectives. “Adding financing options will enable more customers to create inviting, beautiful and safe exteriors that are as worry-free as they are beautiful.”
According to OLP, one of the hottest trends is dramatic lighting for “outdoor rooms,” patios, gardens and lawns that extend their use well beyond daytime. These lighting projects create an outdoor space for entertaining after dark without disturbing neighboring homes. OLP’s low-voltage lighting enables homeowners to enjoy their outdoor areas throughout the evening with gentle illumination that conserves energy and doesn’t obstruct the nighttime sky.
“Adding architectural, landscape, deck and patio lighting creates outdoor environments that are functional and attractive,” said Bruce Christensen, vice president and general manager of GE Money’s Home Improvement division. “Homeowners will benefit from OLP’s superior products and a financing program that lets them fit their purchases into their budgets.”
