"Ken and his helper were amazing. Ken came out to recommend and quote light fixtures in our unfinished basement, connect a couple of Ring floodlights, and replace the doorbell transformer and install a new Ring doorbell at my residence. Ken's work is clean, fast, and reasonably priced! I would absolutely hire him again!"

"I feel fortunate that I hired Jonathan. He is very professional, an excellent communicator, and very friendly. We had just moved to a new home, and I had no idea what I wanted for new furniture. Jonathan was patient with my indecisiveness, and extremely helpful in pointing me in the right direction and helping me zero in on final choices when I was ready to do so. It was remarkable that he could see inside my head, so to speak, as he guided me to make decisions that suited my contemporary taste. I emailed him very frequently with rug or fabric samples to look at, and he was always gracious about responding with specific comments on why each was suitable or not. He found me a very modern lighting piece which I never would have found myself, and he took all the wall art that I had and miraculously grouped them into the perfect combinations for each room. He also found me a reasonable but excellent electrician, a shade person, and a reupholstery person. I have no doubt that your experience will be similar to the excellent one that I have had with Jonathan. ."

"Jeremy was very enthusiastic about this project.  He had great ideas about lighting design, advice for AV setup, and ways to keep costs down without sacrificing overall quality.  He was able to offer creative suggestions, listen to concerns, and adapt his ideas to fit those concerns.  The original plan did not include rewiring the basement.  He pointed out a number of safety issues.  Even though it added significantly to the cost, he brought the basement up to code, and we are glad we did it.  Everything works better and it is safe.  The lighting work ended up being significantly cheaper because he believed we did not need nearly as many lights as we originally planned.  As I look at our completed project, he was right.  The lighting is perfect.  We also had a request to put the center channel speaker in an unusual location.  He voiced his concern, but agreed to do what we wanted.  Again, he was right.  It sounded terrible.  He moved the speaker to right spot (which required some rewiring) with no fuss.  It sounds fantastic.  I would highly recommend Sound Electric."

"Oliver Beer (Bauhaus Construction) put his heart and soul into our project to make it the best family room we could afford. His attention to detail is unmatched. Pricing was very fair and we trusted him to do the highest quality job. I am sure that he put more into our project than any other contractor would have. He had great design ideas, was highly skilled in carpentry and construction and made sure we got the very most for our money. He cared very deeply about doing the best job he could."

Lighting questions, answered by experts

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

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.

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’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’re rated for, bring them inside after Christmas is over. 

Options include pathway lights, spotlights, and smart lighting systems. Choose based on function and aesthetics.

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.
