"Very professional, high quality lights of their own design used. Very knowledgeable about lighting. Buried lines deep, set up power boxes with auto desk/dawn features. Low voltage / high brightness. Beats the hell out of the solar lights I was using before I contacted them. Will use them again and probably do my backyard as well. Front yard was a big job."

"Corey Brown's eye for color and space is excellent. He helped us make choices that we otherwise would have overlooked because we just lack that kind of vision and design sensibility that comes so naturally to him. Corey was easy to work with. Not only did he tailor his recommendations to our tastes and specific style of living but also kept us within our budget. He took care of all the details and his follow-through with his vendors was thorough and on point. More importantly, beyond his talent and experience in design, Corey is kind, thoughtful, and a genuinely good person."

"I hired Jacqueline of JP Green Design in July 2025 to redecorate my great room. In addition to her design talent, she's patient, has a lovely personality, does a great job of keeping the project (and me) on track and focused on the goal. The team of painters and electricians she uses are friendly, clean, respectful, and their work is top notch. Jacqueline keeps in constant contact with them to ensure her vision is realized. She had such good ideas that I ended up having her choose colors and paint the entire interior as well as replace the window coverings and light fixtures throughout the house. What a huge difference that has made! The furniture will arrive this month as it took a while to make decisions and delivery can take about 12 weeks, so plan accordingly. I'm so excited to go into 2026 with a completely transformed home!"

Lighting questions, answered by experts

Before investing in motion sensor lights, there are a couple of disadvantages worth noting. For starters, they’re not as reliable as other forms of lighting. Motion sensor lights can be accidentally triggered by pets or wind, which can become a nuisance after a while. The opposite situation can occur, too, where they don’t turn on when you need them to. 

If half of a string of Christmas lights is out, it is likely because of a single burned-out, loose, or broken bulb within that section. Long strands of lights often contain more than one circuit, so when one bulb fails, it can cause the entire circuit (or half the strand) to go dark. To fix this, inspect the unlit section and test each bulb to ensure it is tight and functioning properly. Replacing the faulty bulb or repairing a damaged shunt will typically solve the problem.

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.

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.

While wet-rated and damp-rated lighting is designed to handle contact with moisture, there’s a difference between the two. Wet-rated lighting is safety-rated to be placed in areas with direct exposure to water, including your shower. Fixtures classed as wet-rated are made with waterproof seals to protect the filament and other electrical components from water and moisture. 

Damp-rated fixtures can be used in places with some moisture contact, but not direct exposure. They don’t have the same waterproof seals used in wet-rated fixtures. Damp-rated lighting can be used on your bathroom ceiling or along a wall outside of your shower.
