  • Circuit assessment to determine whether new outdoor circuits are needed
  • Weatherproof box and cover installation per NEC wet location requirements
  • Fixture mounting with proper sealant at the wall penetration
  • Motion sensor adjustment for sensitivity and time-on settings

Common Questions About Outdoor Lighting

My outdoor light fixture keeps burning out bulbs quickly. What causes that?

Vibration from a nearby door, high humidity inside a non-weatherproof fixture, or a fixture using bulbs at too high a wattage for the socket rating are the most common causes. We check the socket condition, fixture sealing, and bulb type during any outdoor fixture replacement.

Can you run wire underground for landscape path lights?

Yes — low-voltage landscape lighting uses a direct-burial transformer and cable that runs underground in shallow trenches. Line-voltage landscape fixtures (for brighter output) require conduit. We specify the right method for the fixture type and power requirement.
