"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."
"Extremely pleased with their work. Was not exactly sure what we wanted in terms of lighting and how to place the ceiling fixtures and under cabinet lighting. They gave us several options and suggestions - was a wonderful dialog and we are so pleased with the outcome. Very professional, very helpful - we are so happy with the outcome."
"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"
Outdoor lighting enhances security, improves curb appeal, and extends the usability of outdoor spaces.
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.
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.
Local building codes typically require conduit around exterior wiring. Conduit protects the wire from moisture, extreme temperatures, sun exposure, and harsh weather conditions to prolong its lifespan. When a wire is worn out, it can be dangerous as the risk of electric shock or fire increases.
While most general electricians can repair lamps and light fixtures, it is often better to hire a lamp repair specialist. Many electricians prefer larger jobs, such as fixing electrical systems or relocating fixtures, and may not offer lamp repair services due to the small scale of the work. Additionally, some lamps, particularly antique models, require dedicated expertise that a general electrician might not have. A lamp repair specialist will be familiar with various types of fixtures and can provide a more dedicated service. If you have already hired an electrician for a larger project, you can ask them to look at your lamp, but for a standalone repair, a specialist is typically the best option.
