What Drives Us

To us, lighting is about creating spaces where memories are made, people feel welcome, and communities can come together. It’s the glow of holiday lights on your home in the winter, the twinkle of a backyard party in the summer, and the spotlight on a business that’s proud of what it stands for. We pour our passion into every project because we know the right lighting matters.

Our Team

Our team lives and breathes lighting and brings technical expertise, care, and genuine passion to every project. We love working with these folks, and we think you will, too!

Mike Friesen

Owner

Mike oversees your project from start to finish, making sure every detail is perfect. He’s the guy you’ll see double-checking every strand to get it just right. When he’s not working at Lights Unlimited, he’s still thinking about lights.

Portrait of Steve

Steve

Project Manager

Steve loves lights so much that he’s been in the game for over 17 years. He is often found chatting about designs, prices, and timelines of upcoming installations. Steve is instrumental in identifying opportunities for growth, collaboration, and supporting homeowners and organizations in achieving their goals. With one of the best accents on staff, our resident Englishman is fan-favourite both over-the-phone and in-person. He loves Christmas, the movie “Christmas with the Kranks”, and all things related to Chelsea Football Club.
