"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."

"Dazzle lighting made sure that my backyard looked the best it could, and gave a professional opinion of what to do. I had ideas and they were professional with saying we could do that but it may not be the best choice for the space, and offered another opinion. I was not disappointed and was so thankful they did! They displayed some ideas and left demos so we were confident with our decision too. Never questioned what we were paying for and these guys always over delivered!"

"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!"

"Her eye for paint colors is incredible — she somehow always finds the perfect shades that completely transform a space and make everything flow beautifully together. I’ve used her for years and continue to go back because I absolutely love her aesthetic. She has a talent for creating spaces that feel elevated, cohesive, and still comfortable to live in. Beyond being talented, she’s efficient, easy to work with, and truly understands how to bring a vision to life. Worth every penny!"

"We hired Paul to completely transform our landscape, and the results are incredible. Our yard started as a dry, neglected space (see before photos), and Paul turned it into a stunning, modern outdoor oasis. He designed everything—from plant selection and layout to gravel, mulch, lighting, pathways, and functional spaces like the fire-pit area and outdoor dining zone. Paul has a great eye for design, communicates clearly, stays on schedule, and truly cares about the final product. The curb appeal and backyard are now unrecognizable in the best way. We couldn’t be happier and highly recommend Paul for any landscape project."

Lighting questions, answered by experts

Testing tools, such as Christmas light testers, non-contact proximity electrical testers, and multimeters, all simplify the process of testing Christmas lights. However, without one or more of those tools, testing Christmas lights the old-fashioned way only works sometimes. Without testing tools, the simplest testing method is visual inspection, which may or may not yield positive results.

The cost of lamp repair generally ranges from $30 to $150, with an average cost of around $75. Common repairs like rewiring or replacing a switch typically cost around $60 and $80, respectively. The final price depends on factors such as the type of lamp, the complexity of the issue, and the parts required. Keep in mind that repair costs may be higher for ornate or antique lamps. It's a good practice to ask for a price quote from a professional lamp repair service to determine if the investment is worthwhile.

Pool lights are designed to be safe by protecting swimmers from electrocution. These lights are made with waterproof fixtures and seals to prevent contact with the water.

Electrocution from pool lights is still possible, but rare. Faulty wiring or broken lighting equipment can make lights unsafe, so it’s important to replace lights as needed and have an electrician inspect and upgrade the wiring.

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.

Installing outdoor lighting can increase your home’s value by up to $2,500. The average ROI on landscape lighting is around 50%, but how much your home increases depends on the market, the type of lighting, and whether you have a strong strategy for your landscaping lighting project. LED and solar lighting may offer the highest ROIs.
