Outdoor Lighting FAQs
Outdoor lighting enhances the aesthetics of your property, improves safety and security by illuminating pathways and entryways, extends the usable space of your outdoor areas, and adds value to your home.
Consider the purpose of the lighting, the style and design that complements your home's exterior, energy efficiency, durability in outdoor conditions, and the level of brightness required for the intended area.
Outdoor lighting techniques include uplighting (illuminating from below), downlighting (illuminating from above), path lighting, spotlighting (accentuating specific features), and grazing (highlighting texture or architectural details).
Yes, there are energy-efficient options such as LED (Light Emitting Diode) fixtures which consume less energy and have a longer lifespan compared to traditional incandescent or halogen lights.
Low voltage lighting typically uses 12 or 24 volts and requires a transformer to step down the standard 120-volt power from your home. It’s ideal for landscape and outdoor accent lighting because it’s energy-efficient, safer to work with, and easier to install in areas where wiring needs to be hidden or flexible.
Line voltage lighting runs directly on 120 volts (standard household current) and doesn’t require a transformer. It’s commonly used for larger outdoor fixtures like floodlights, security lighting, or commercial applications that need brighter illumination over wider areas.
In short:
-
Low voltage = safer, more flexible, great for detailed or decorative lighting
-
Line voltage = brighter, more powerful, better for large-scale or security-focused installs
Need help deciding which is right for your space? We can recommend the best solution during your consultation.
In most cases, permits aren’t required for low-voltage landscape lighting. However, hardwired or commercial systems may require permitting. We’ll handle everything if needed.
Landscape lighting focuses on beauty and ambiance, while security lighting is designed to improve safety with motion sensors and bright coverage around entrances and dark zones.
Most residential installations are completed within a day or two. Larger or more complex projects may take longer—but we always provide a timeline upfront.
