Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What’s better: motion lights or dusk-to-dawn fixtures?
It depends on the location. Motion lights are great for entrances and driveways, while dusk-to-dawn fixtures provide constant light for general areas.
2. Can you install lights that work with my Ring or smart system?
Yes, we install smart-enabled lighting that integrates with Ring, Nest, Google Home, and other platforms.
3. Do security lights require new wiring?
Not always. We can tap into nearby circuits, but for new locations, we’ll install dedicated wiring as needed—safely and to code.
4. How long does it take to install outdoor lights?
Most installations take a few hours, depending on wiring needs and fixture locations. We’ll give you a clear timeline before we begin.
5. Are permits required for outdoor lighting?
Generally no for basic lighting, but if we're running new circuits or trenching wiring, some cities may require permits. We’ll handle it if needed.
