"From start to finish, Joe and his team were excellent to deal with! After calling and discussing our lighting needs, Joe’s crew came out and within hours, our landscaping lights were installed. We couldn’t wait until nightfall so that we could see how it looked. We couldn’t be more thrilled on how the new lights just illuminated our house. It wasn’t a dark house anymore! Our neighbors keep complimenting us on how bright and cozy our house looks as they turn the corner and see our house glowing! We love coming home at night and seeing how our house glows. We also have the added comfort of knowing that our house feels safer because of all the lights! They even added lights to our three big trees and and our flagpole. We would highly recommend The Illuminators for all of your landscaping lighting needs."

"These guys are the best! I needed an outdoor lighting job done. Dane called right away, came out and gave me a very reasonable quote, scheduled the job right away and the installation went fast and super smooth. I have a large yard and they handled it with ease. Every step of the process was simple and my home looks great. Do yourself a favor and hire them. You will not get this level of service anywhere else."

"We've hired David Roesner a few times to come to our home to do electrical work, and he's been excellent every time! The biggest job was having him install a 240V subpanel so my wife could have an electric pottery kiln in our garage. He did a fantastic job, on time, and even under the estimated budget! David has also installed outlets and re-wired some of our home. He's our "go to" for electrical needs. Highly recommended!"

"The project that Trojan Landscaping did on my yard was amazing. Final product was so worth the money. I got a chance to talk with the owner and he was a very stand up guy he did everything he said he was going to do and I appreciate that. His crew showed up on time and got straight to work no hesitation. Over all it was a 10/10 and would definitely recommend you use Trojan Landscaping for all your outdoor needs!"

"An outstanding contractor. APS did a great job with my project. They handled all the permits and hoop-jumping nonsense with the village, began the project on time as promised and delivered a great backyard oasis and front yard transformation. They did everything from patio, to landscaping to lighting and of course, the beautiful pool, which they also provided after installation assistance with the care and upkeep. Great bunch to work with and I highly recommend them"

Lighting questions, answered by experts

It’s not illegal to fly an American flag at night without a light shining on it, but the U.S. Flag Code notes that it’s respectful to provide illumination. Installing a flagpole light is also common practice and will add more to your home’s curb appeal at night. Choosing a solar-powered or battery-powered light for your flag is an affordable way to provide illumination.

The five common types of landscape lighting are up-lighting, down-lighting, spotlights, built-in lighting, and pathway lighting.

  • Up-lighting casts light upwards from the ground, mostly for aesthetic purposes.

  • Down-lighting directs light onto the ground, lighting pathways, or outdoor space.

  • Spotlights cast direct, focused lighting in any direction.

  • Built-in lighting integrates lighting into an outdoor feature.

  • Pathway lighting illuminates walkways, increasing safety.

Simple repairs like replacing bulbs can be DIY projects, but professionals should handle significant electrical repairs to ensure safety and compliance with electrical standards.

If you need to visually inspect your Christmas lights to determine which are good and which need replacement, there are a few things to look for. First, look for discoloration, such as a dark spot or two on the inside of the glass. The spot is an indication of a burnt filament. Also, look for missing filaments, cracked bulb glass, and broken sockets.

There are tons of different types of landscape lighting available, including the choice between solar and wired, incandescent and LED, and a variety of colors. Specific types of lighting include:

  • Pathway lights: $50–$150 per fixture

  • String lights: $50–$150

  • Low-voltage lights: $90–$150 per fixture

  • Porch lights: $65–$250 per fixture

  • Floodlights: $75–$250 per fixture

  • Downlights: $100–$400 per fixture

  • Uplights: $100–$400 per fixture

  • Security lights: $ 350–$500 per fixture

  • Lamp posts: $400–$1,100 per lamp post
