How it works

How It Works

Walk the Space

We look at what you want lit, where power is, and how to get it there.

A Plan with Prices

Fixture locations, circuits and controls, priced before any work starts.

Install

Wet-rated fixtures, buried or protected wiring, and GFCI protection on outdoor circuits.

Aim and Set

We test everything after dark when needed, and set timers and photocells.

Why it matters

Outdoors, Water and Wiring Don’t Mix

Outdoor electrical work has to handle sprinklers, rain and sun. That means fixtures rated for wet locations, weather-resistant outlets with in-use covers, wiring that’s buried or protected in conduit, and GFCI protection so a fault shuts off before it can hurt someone.

Low-voltage vs. line-voltage. Most landscape and path lighting runs on low-voltage systems powered by a transformer, which is safer to run through planting beds. Security and porch lights usually run on standard 120V circuits.

Controls matter. Photocells, timers and smart switches make sure lights are on when you need them and off when you don’t.

FAQ

Outdoor Lighting Questions

Do outdoor outlets need GFCI protection?

Yes. Outdoor outlets need GFCI protection and weather-resistant in-use covers.

What’s the difference between low-voltage and line-voltage lighting?

Low-voltage landscape lighting runs through a transformer and is common for paths and plants. Line-voltage lighting runs on standard circuits and is used for security and porch lights.

Can you add motion sensors to existing lights?

Often, yes. We can replace fixtures or add sensors and controls to existing circuits.

Can outdoor lights be on a timer?

Yes. We install photocells, timers and smart switches.

Do you install string light circuits?

Yes. We add outdoor outlets or switched circuits so patio string lights are safe and easy to control.
