Our Story
From Helpers to Owners: The Southern Lights Story
David East and Chris Laws did not start at the top. They started as helpers in the electrical trade, learning the work from the ground up. That experience gave them a deep respect for the craft and a commitment to doing things right. In 2019, they turned that shared vision into Southern Lights Electrical Construction, LLC, based in Farmville, NC. The company has grown steadily since then, earning the trust of homeowners, businesses, and developers across North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia. Blair East joined the team in a management and strategic operations role, helping guide the company's growth while keeping the family-first culture at its core. Today, Southern Lights is a five-time Platinum Winner for Electrician of the Year through Community Votes Greenville, a reflection of the community's trust in our work and our people.
