"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."
"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."
"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."
"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"
Yes, professional landscape lighting is typically worth the investment. Installing a lighting system can improve your home’s curb appeal, safety, and security, and it can also deter burglars. It adds value to your home by creating a brightly-lit outdoor space you can use after dark and making the property more appealing to potential buyers. According to the National Association of Realtors, landscape lighting can add up to $2,500 to your home’s value, and on average, this type of home improvement has a 50% return on investment.
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
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.
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.
If you’ve gone through the troubleshooting checklist for your motion detector flood light and it’s still not working, it’s time to consider a new one. Older models that need frequent fixes can be unreliable. Newer flood lights feature advanced technology that improves your lights’ sensitivity and overall performance. If you’re fed up with unexpected darkness, investing in a new light can give you the lighting you need to feel secure.
