"Abulous lighting, came out to repair my yard lights. They were not coming back on at night. System was shorting out and they found a faulty light. Replaced it and did it for free since the light was still under warranty. They had installed my yard lighting last year."
"TLC Lighting Pros installed a chandelier in my foyer. They arrived promptly, were extremely courteous and hung the fixture to my desired height. I was very impressed with the crew, cost and completed job. I will definitely contact them for future lighting needs. Also, the cost was much more reasonable than other companies I had contacted for the same job. Highly recommend!"
"Hi-Five Electric was a pleasure to work with. They wired my entire basement. They put outlets and installed light fixtures through. The whole crew was professional. Arrived timely each day and cleaned up afterwards when done. Will surely recommend them for any electrical needs."
"The work was impeccable. Carl installed the canned light and tied it into my other existing lights and you cant tell that the builders never had a light there. There was a mix up in scheduling after canceling for an emergency, so I dropped the review a star because it seemed like I had been forgotten about entirely. But less than an hour after I called, he was here and done about an hour later. Would hire again."
"Marvin from Magic Landscaping and Hardscapes gave me an excellent quote for a Landscape Light pole replacement. We agreed on a time and date, but when inclement weather threatened that date, they worked around and completed my task early. The work was done, and it exceeded my expectations."
"They were prompt and completed the work with great quality. Communication was very open. They took on a challenging job for my home installing recess lighting under the soffit outside which turned out absolutely amazing. They were excited to take on a challenging project and they executed seamlessly."
"Very professional and courteous. I was able to obtain a same day service appointment, which I really appreciated because I work from home and every time I printed something, my eelectricity on one side of my house would go out. The technician also upgraded my hall wall units with night lights. A very special touch that made my hallways bright at night and elegant!! I would definitely use them again."
"This is the second year we have used Blingle! for Christmas lighting. They are timely, professional and so easy to work with. Not to mention, my house looks so festive. We are also using their lights for a backyard event and have referred them to friends and family!"
"I am still in the early stages of my project but I could not wait a second longer to brag on the wonderful, Jessica. From the moment we were on our call I was poured into and felt seen, heard & instantly connected to Jessica. Her passion and dedication for her work were quickly apparent and even though we’d only spoken for minutes, it felt like I’d known for years. Her interest and excitement for my project was a breath of fresh air. All of this is new to me and seeking the right help has not been the easiest process, but with Jessica, things felt right. We didn’t need to sleep on it or hold off because she made us feel sure. Despite having a smaller budget, Jessica was adamant about respecting that budget and making sure I was comfortable throughout the process. Her reassurance was comforting and her kindness was unmatched. I feel honored to have such an amazing human help turn our new house into a home. I am happy. I am excited and I am ready. Thank you, Jessica. Let’s do this! <3"
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
Cold weather can cause older incandescent Christmas lights to fail by causing cracks in the finish or the glass itself. Modern LED lights are affected in the opposite way and perform even better as the temperature drops.
Yes, outdoor lights and receptacles should be on a ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) for safety. The outdoors is considered a wet location where GFCI protection is generally required. A GFCI enhances safety by automatically tripping and shutting off the circuit if it detects an imbalance, which protects against electrocution and reduces the risk of an electrical fire. While it is the safest approach for all outdoor electrical components, specific requirements can vary depending on the type of light (e.g., pool lights), its location, and local electrical codes. For guidance tailored to your specific situation, it's best to consult a professional electrician.
Installations include new light fixtures, upgraded panels, fixed outlets, and tracked wiring continuity.
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.
