"This is my second review for The Illuminators since I have been adding lights as needed. The first time I was blown away, the second time they did not disappoint. My estimator was Alex who is very effective at giving suggestions and ideas regarding the best locations to install the lights. I am extremely pleased with the results and the exterior of our house looks so nice! We like to go on walks around the neighborhood and honestly we believe our lighting is the best! We just LOVE the work The Illuminators do. I think it's worth mentioning the installers names who are very efficient, friendly and very pleasant. Thank you Alex, Laddie, Jaden & Scott. I hope to see you again during the third phase of lights."

"Steve was great to work with. He was patient as we made our decisions, and quick when it came time to execute. We left a lot of the design element up to him, and he did a great job. We are thrilled with the work. The lighting is incredible."

"It was like magic! We have a beautiful garden, and they managed to install everything without disturbing our sidewalk, brick patio, or the garden. They cleaned up so well that you couldn't tell anything had been done. Lauren, the owner, has been fabulous to work with! There were a few small tweeks, and they came back without charging and corrected everything. The employees were wonderful to work with."

"Anthony came out to give us an estimate. He was much more knowledgeable than the other two companies we had out, even talked me out of extra lighting I thought I wanted, saving us money. We had him design and install our front yard landscape lighting and around our pool and patio. It looks amazing at night and we couldn’t be happier."

"We had under cabinet lighting put in, multiple outlets put in the garage and an additional outdoor fixture installed. All projects were done perfectly. We are extremely happy with the work and the cost didn't break the bank. Would highly recommend."

"We began a project for exterior landscape lighting, but as we got to know Randy, Mike, and Green Light Design Group, we were so impressed with their capabilities, we substantially expanded our project from exterior lighting, into landscape design, adding gorgeous new plantings, install hardscape replacement, and other substantial improvements. This project was beyond successful. Added true value to our home. Top-notch customer-oriented people! A 5-Star rating is not enough!!!"

"They did an excellent job! They pulled out all of the weeds and shrubs. They put sod down in the front. Took out the old mulch and redesigned the flower beds. Put mulch down, planted a Rose of Sharon, Dwarf Korean Lilacs, and My Monet Weigiela. I love all the plants and everything they did. Thank you, Thank you"

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

Inspect for burnt-out bulbs, secure connections, and protect from water exposure to maintain functionality.

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.

It’s fair to be concerned about handling pool lights or wiring in a pool filled with water. But fortunately, pool lights and swimming pools are designed to make it easy and safe to replace the lights without needing to drain the water. Instead, you can turn off the electricity to the pool as a safety precaution, unscrew the pool fixture, pull it up and out to the side of the pool, then change the bulb.

The cost to repair a short circuit depends on the type of repair. A faulty outlet or simple loose wire can be a simple fix that might only cost a handful of dollars. For example, if you need to rewire a house, you’ll spend around $2 to $4 per square foot, but replacing an entire electrical panel costs anywhere from $500 to $2,100.
