Frequently Asked Questions

How much does outdoor lighting installation cost?

Outdoor lighting costs vary based on the scope of your project, number of fixtures, and installation complexity. Basic pathway lighting starts around $150-300 per fixture installed, while comprehensive landscape lighting systems typically range from $2,000-10,000. We provide free consultations and detailed quotes for all projects.

Do LED outdoor lights really save money?

Yes! LED outdoor lights use 75-85% less energy than traditional incandescent bulbs and last 25-50 times longer. Most homeowners see a return on investment within 2-3 years through energy savings alone. Additionally, LEDs require less maintenance and replacement, saving both time and money.

Can outdoor lighting be controlled remotely?

Absolutely! We install smart outdoor lighting systems that can be controlled via smartphone apps, voice assistants, or home automation systems. You can adjust brightness, set schedules, create lighting scenes, and even control individual zones from anywhere.

How long does outdoor lighting installation take?

Most residential outdoor lighting installations are completed in 1-3 days, depending on the project size. Simple pathway lighting might take just one day, while comprehensive landscape lighting systems may require 2-3 days. We work efficiently to minimize disruption to your property.

What type of maintenance do outdoor lights require?

LED outdoor lighting requires minimal maintenance. We recommend annual cleaning of fixtures to remove dirt and debris, checking connections, and adjusting fixture positions as landscaping grows. Our systems are designed for durability, with weather-resistant fixtures that withstand Northern Virginia's climate.

Do you offer warranties on outdoor lighting?

Yes, we provide comprehensive warranties on all outdoor lighting installations. This includes a 2-year labor warranty on our installation work and manufacturer warranties on fixtures (typically 5-10 years for LED products). We also offer extended warranty options for additional peace of mind.
