"I had landscape lighting in my backyard where the wires were cut accidentally. Carlos came out from Artistic Illumination and quickly fixed the problem, but he went over to each light, inspected the connections and replaced the ones that were initially installed cheaply. He was very thorough. I was impressed with the service."

"Keith and his team at Walter Electric are incredible. We had them do a ton of work on our house: new lighting in closets, LED lighting in two rooms, install new track lighting and ceiling fans, move switches and outlets around, and install hard wired lights in the bathroom and the front of the house. All of the work was done with precision craftsmanship and they left our house cleaned up nicely each day. Keith provided great guidance and recommendations along the way and was responsive to answer our questions. Would highly recommend Walter Electric!"

"Working with Sarah was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Her vision was spot on, and she truly listened to our style preferences while helping us transform our entire home. From paint colors and furniture to window treatments, lighting, and finishing touches, she guided every detail with incredible talent and expertise. Sarah was patient, knowledgeable, responsive, and so easy to work with throughout the entire process. We always felt we were in excellent hands. She communicated clearly, managed expectations well, worked within our budget, and connected us with trusted subcontractors. What stood out most was not only her creativity and eye for design, but her ability to make what could have been an overwhelming process feel seamless and enjoyable. We could not be happier with the finished result. Sarah is exceptionally talented, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for thoughtful, beautiful, and personalized design services."

"We hired Paul for a complete redesign of our exterior spaces, including the pool area, upper terrace, and outdoor kitchen. The “before” looked tired and empty… old tile, no cohesive décor, and a layout that didn’t make the most of the space. Paul completely reimagined the entire outdoor experience. He selected the right plants, furniture, lighting, and layout to bring the space to life. The pool area now looks beautiful, with coordinated seating areas, umbrellas, greenery, and warm lighting that completely changed the atmosphere. The upper terrace (previously unused) is now a beautiful dining and entertaining space that feels cohesive, modern, and welcoming. His taste, creativity, and attention to detail were exceptional. He understood our style, maximized the space, and elevated the property far beyond what we expected. The work was efficient, the communication was excellent, and the final result is stunning. We are thrilled and would absolutely hire Paul again without a doubt!"

Lighting questions, answered by experts

If you take home a pre-lit Christmas tree but want to spruce it up with blinking lights, don’t worry, there’s a simple solution. You can easily replace the light bulbs on the pre-lit tree with flashing bulbs. For a more subtle look, only replace some of the bulbs with flashing bulbs.

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’t currently include them.

Yes, professional landscape lighting is typically worth the investment. Installing a lighting system can improve your home’s curb appeal, safety, and security, and it can also deter burglars. It adds value to your home by creating a brightly-lit outdoor space you can use after dark and making the property more appealing to potential buyers. According to the National Association of Realtors, landscape lighting can add up to $2,500 to your home’s value, and on average, this type of home improvement has a 50% return on investment.

Replacing a pool light costs about $625 per light. If you only need to replace the light bulb, plan on paying about $20 to $100 per light. The largest cost factors include the type of pool light, the number of pool lights needed, and the labor costs in your location. But additional cost factors include work required on existing wiring, other repairs, and the continual maintenance needed to keep your pool light in good working condition after installation.

You can use outdoor electrical outlets to conveniently power landscaping equipment such as electrical lawnmowers, leaf blowers, and pressure washers. From a recreational standpoint, outdoor outlets are handy for powering electric grills, mini-fridges, and stereos. They're also helpful when it's time to string Christmas lights on your home and around your property.
