"Everything went extremely well. Laury was great to work with. Questions directed to him were answered quickly. Installation team was very professional and courteous. Follow-up instructions for working the system through the iPhone app by Simon was also excellent. Project inspected by Village of Buffalo Grove (following installation) passed first time with no issues."

"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"

"Igor was a fantastic technician! We are so grateful for his expertise, attention to detail, and care with new light fixture installations (and old light fixture removal) in our home. He communicated very well with us and gave us suggestions to improve lighting in the home. Above and beyond on quality of work. It was a pleasure working with him and we would absolutely hire him again. 10/10 recommend! Pictures attached show some of the old light fixtures he removed, and new ones he installed. Thank you, Igor!"

Exterior Lighting FAQs, answered by experts

Depending on complexity and materials, costs range from $150 to $500 per fixture.

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.

Common outdoor lighting issues include faulty or exposed wiring, burnt-out or damaged bulbs, and broken or faulty fixtures. Regular maintenance can help prevent many of these problems.

Professionals enhance safety by addressing structural issues, securing loose components, and using non-toxic materials. They ensure compliance with building codes and conduct thorough inspections to identify potential hazards. Their expertise minimizes risks, making the home safer during and after repairs.

Flickering lights, intermittent outages, or physical damage to fixtures signal immediate repair to avoid electrical hazards.
