"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!"

"Victor responded right away to repair a leaking pipe in our yard. While on the premises, he took care of a few other minor issues. He was professional, thorough and kind. His fee was fair. I'll be scheduling him to return after the holidays to complete a larger project for us. I highly recommend Victor's company, Grand Oaks Landscaping, Inc for any irrigation or landscaping project!"

"Before working with Sarah Kaplan Design, my living room felt disconnected and hard to make sense of. I had ideas, but nothing felt cohesive or functional. After working with Sarah, the transformation is remarkable. She created a layout that instantly made the room feel larger, more balanced, and more modern. Her guidance on furniture, tile, and overall flow turned a space I tolerated into a space I truly love. Sarah listens, collaborates, and elevates every detail. If you?re looking for a designer who can take your vision and deliver a beautiful, thoughtful ?after,? she?s the perfect choice."

"Having electrical issues to the point of calling SDG&E who sent a tech out immediately. Verdict: SDG&E was not the problem; the problem was in our panel. Appointment set, Jeremiah came right on time, made the diagnosis, gave us the options, and made the repairs within the hour. Jeremiah gave great information on the problem and the causes of the issue. Will use Mister Sparky in the future for any electrical issue."

Lighting questions, answered by experts

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 your lights are shorting out during rain storms or other winter events, you should probably replace them. These shorts indicate electrical issues that could cause serious hazards. Look for outdoor-rated lights with connectors made for rainy conditions to replace them. But if your Christmas lights are new and you want further protection, you can find weatherproof covers to add to the male-end connectors of your Christmas light strings. These can minimize the risk of shorts.

Modern outdoor light fixtures are waterproof and weather resistant, and, provided they’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:

  • CFL bulb (for sustained use): 15,000 hours

  • Halogen bulb (mostly for security): 2,000 hours

  • HID bulbs (for security): 12,000 hours

  • Incandescent bulb: 1,000 hours

  • LED bulb: 50,000 hours

There are a number of reasons that landscape lights burn out, including an incorrectly installed transformer, inconsistent voltage, and burned-out or faulty bulbs. Troubleshoot landscape lighting problems by first determining whether it’s a system-wide problem or an issue with just one light, which will help you get to the bottom of your outdoor lighting woes.

Your maintenance needs revolve around the type of foundation you choose, as well as how you furnish or decorate it. Patios require little else other than the occasional hose-down, but decks and other wooden structures will require annual power washing and sealing. You may also need to restain the wood every two to three years.

Adding a solid roof rather than building a pergola or leaving the space open will make maintenance much easier. Without a roof, you will need to spend more time sweeping, washing, and covering your furniture to protect it from UV bleaching.
