The Dupre Group's original genesis for the residential side of our business began back in 2002 and when focused on real estate investing—specifically south Florida waterfront home rebuilds with tropical vacation home rental capability. 

In 2003, during achievement of these goals on multiple properties, our team quickly recognized the need for professional, durable,  and comfortable exterior lighting illumination.  homes, landscapes, and pool areas without impressive illumination significantly degraded the lifestyle experience we were seeking for our investments.  We came to understand that achieving a 5-Star Caribbean resort like feel with proper lighting was an essential ingredient to any south Florida property or business.  Thus began our quest and augmentation of our core skills with best in class exterior lighting design capability for residential homes and commercial businesses.

Nearly a year into our "enlightened" development and after a few missteps along the way by us and by the use of creatively challenged contractors and builders, we have realized that as a team our exterior lighting design capability has reached a coveted professional threshold.  As homeowners and real estate investors seeking state-of-the-art lighting implemented, we graduated from the school of hard knocks through impractical attempts to hire out for these services.  We learned the options for us in southwest Florida were and still are:

1. Electrical Contractors - are competent with line voltage electricity but had little to no interest in style or environmental factors we were seeking

2. Landscape Designers / Dock Builders - again are competent in their respective professions but resort caliber lighting was clearly not a focus nor a capability of theirs

3. Commercial Lighting Design and Engineering firms - professional, technical. and competent in lighting design and execution but individual homeowners were not generally their focus--at least in the scale and number of homes we had

4. DIY (do it yourselfers) -  without an initial and combined professional skill level in electricity, architectural design, landscape design, pool design, dock design, and most importantly residential lighting design, this option quickly becomes frustrating and costly or quality results won't be forthcoming.  As we have learned, this approach requires much patience, perseverance, study, training, and most importantly, the time to see projects through multiple iterations.

This journey, though challenging as its been, has resulted in a team that is both knowledgeable and capable in the art and application of the latest in lighting technology to exterior and interior spaces--specifically coastal locations.

After careful thought and consideration, as of 2005 we as a company decided to formally form our Exterior lighting design and Technology business.

The Dupre Group's key strengths are and will continue to be first and foremost are:

  The ability to fully leverage industry best practice LIGHTING DESIGN approaches and proven product acquired through exhaustive research and direct experience

  An implementation team that holds a strong understanding of what established and new home or business owners alike are seeking from life in Southwest Florida

  The ability to execute design and implementations with quality and efficiency through leveraging technology and the best local resources
