How much does a Outdoor Lighting Perspectives franchise make?
Outdoor Lighting Perspectives is one of the franchisors that answers this on the record: its most recent FDD makes an Item 19 financial performance representation — actual unit earnings figures, disclosed by the franchisor itself. The headline figure is $770,468 in average unit revenue — read it alongside what Item 19 says about which units it covers (often only mature or top-performing locations). See every home services brand that discloses earnings in the Home services & home improvement franchises with disclosed Item 19 earnings ranking.
Outdoor Lighting Perspectives franchise profit vs. revenue
Revenue is not profit. An Item 19 almost always reports sales — what a location takes in — not what an owner keeps. Out of that number come Outdoor Lighting Perspectives's 7% royalty, the ad fund, rent, payroll, supplies and debt service. No FDD tells you a Outdoor Lighting Perspectives franchise's profit, because profit depends on your site, your rent and how you run it — so treat any "Outdoor Lighting Perspectives franchise profit" figure quoted elsewhere as someone's estimate, not a disclosure. On $770,468 of revenue, a 7% royalty alone is about $53,933 a year before any other cost.
Outdoor Lighting Perspectives lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)
Outdoor Lighting Perspectives's most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2026) discloses no litigation in Item 3. That is a real signal rather than a gap: the FTC Franchise Rule requires a franchisor to disclose material litigation involving itself, its predecessors, parents, affiliates and management, so an empty Item 3 in a current filing means there was nothing it was required to report. It is worth reading alongside the churn numbers — a system can have a clean Item 3 and still be losing franchisees, which is what Item 20 shows.
Outdoor Lighting Perspectives closures & failure rate
Before you sign, Outdoor Lighting Perspectives will hand you a list of current owners to call as references — and they choose who's on that list. It won't include the owners who quit, got bought out, or were forced out last year. The FDD does report that number, even though the reference list leaves those people off. Below is what Outdoor Lighting Perspectives's most recent filing shows, and whether it's normal for a home services of this kind.
The closest thing an FDD has to a failure rate is Item 20 — outlet openings, closures, terminations and non-renewals, reported by the franchisor. Outdoor Lighting Perspectives's latest tables show a growing franchised network. Its franchised-outlet closure rate — closures, terminations and non-renewals against outlets — is 1.5%, against a home services median of 5.1% — at or better than the category. Net franchised outlets moved +6 to 141 in the latest reported year.
Who owns Outdoor Lighting Perspectives?
Outdoor Lighting Perspectives's franchise is offered by Outdoor Lighting Perspectives Franchisor, LLC — the franchisor named on the cover of its most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2026), and the entity a franchisee actually signs with.
