Q: Should outdoor lights be on GFCI?

• <div><p>Yes, outdoor lights and receptacles should be on a ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) for safety. The outdoors is considered a wet location where GFCI protection is generally required. A GFCI enhances safety by automatically tripping and shutting off the circuit if it detects an imbalance, which protects against electrocution and reduces the risk of an electrical fire. While it is the safest approach for all outdoor electrical components, specific requirements can vary depending on the type of light (e.g., pool lights), its location, and local electrical codes. For guidance tailored to your specific situation, it's best to consult a professional electrician.</p></div>

Q: How long do outdoor lights last?

• <div><p>Modern outdoor light fixtures are waterproof and weather resistant, and, provided they&rsquo;re installed correctly and by a professional, the fixture and wiring can last for 20 to 30 years or more. The lifespan will depend largely on the quality of the fixture. The lifespan of the bulb will depend on the type of light you install:</p><ul><li><p>CFL bulb (for sustained use): 15,000 hours</p></li><li><p>Halogen bulb (mostly for security): 2,000 hours</p></li><li><p>HID bulbs (for security): 12,000 hours</p></li><li><p>Incandescent bulb: 1,000 hours</p></li><li><p>LED bulb: 50,000 hours</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: What is the best way to power outdoor lights?

• <div><p>The easiest and best way to power your outdoor lights is with the use of outdoor outlets. Most building codes now require exterior outlets in homes, so you likely already have outdoor outlets available to plug into. However, you can have these outlets installed if your space doesn&rsquo;t currently include them.</p></div>

Q: Are LED Christmas lights safe to leave up all year?

• <div><p>No, you should not leave LED Christmas lights up all year. While the LED lights themselves are very durable, their wiring and casings can be as vulnerable as any Christmas lights. They&rsquo;re subject to drying out, experiencing cold or sun damage that causes them to crack, and even damage caused by gnawing pests. (The same is true of incandescents.) If you want your lights to last the years that they&rsquo;re rated for, bring them inside after Christmas is over. </p></div>

Q: Can you replace a pool light underwater?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s fair to be concerned about handling pool lights or wiring in a pool filled with water. But fortunately, pool lights and swimming pools are designed to make it easy and safe to replace the lights without needing to drain the water. Instead, you can turn off the electricity to the pool as a safety precaution, unscrew the pool fixture, pull it up and out to the side of the pool, then change the bulb.</p></div>

"I purchased 4 hours of service through the Arkansas Daily Deal. When I called to schedule my service I was informed that the 4 hours of service I had purchased did not include going into the attic that there would be a minimum charge of $75.00 for that, therefore, I purchased a led retrofit light from Home Depot so they would not have to go into the attic. When he arrived he said that it would not work that he would have to install a new can light that he had on his truck and he would have to go into the attic to do so. He charged me $48.00 for your basic can light and $75.00 additional labor. Since I had already paid $99.00 it cost me $232.69 for your basic can light and about 45 minutes of labor. I would never call them again.
