"Illuminators is a great company for your outdoor lighting needs. They installed lights for me several years ago. They performed routine maintenance to keep the lights in good working order and troubleshot another issue for me. Always very professional and responsive."

"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."

"Wendy was very knowledgeable and had fantastic ideas. She was willing to work with us on any idea or changes that we had, and everything was done in a timely manner. In addition to designing the space (lighting schemes included), Wendy had great relationships with retailers in our area for the sink, faucet, and fixtures, just to name a few."

"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!!!"

"I hired Fabian and Unique Landscaping to install a new paver patio, fire pit, seating wall, pergola, outdoor lighting, outdoor sound system, and water feature. The results exceeded my expectations. The process from beginning to end was great as Fabian had great communication throughout the project. Fabian and his crew worked hard and the results showed. I was completely satisfied with the process and end result. I highly recommend Fabian and Unique for your next hardscaping project."

"Jose and his crew completely rebuilt our stone patio and wall that was falling apart, and surrounded it with redone landscaping. We are thrilled with the result. Jose has an eye for design. He makes good suggestions and sees possibilities we did not. He used high quality materials and plants and was careful not to damage the surrounding area. I highly recommend him."

"10x20 backyard patio & 2x7 walkway. Tom was very considerate and attentive when reviewing the project area and provided a reasonable estimate. Tom and his workers were extremely friendly and caring while working. Zero problems during the project and they finished the project quickly (3 days). Very happy with the results so far, if anything changes within the next 3 years, I’ll be sure to update my experience. Awesome experience, great company, and would recommend to others."

Lighting questions, answered by experts

High-quality landscape lights that are hardwired and properly maintained can last for 10 to 25 years or more. You’ll usually get a longer lifespan from soffit lights and wall-mounted lights that aren’t directly exposed to the elements or prone to damage from foot traffic or vehicle traffic. Solar-powered and battery-powered lights often won’t last as long, but you can still expect a lifespan of five to 15 years.

You can take a few steps to prolong the life of your holiday lights. Make sure to replace burnt-out bulbs as quickly as possible to avoid overloading the rest of the circuit and knocking out more lights. Before packing them up each year, plug each strand into the wall to confirm everything is still working. Wrap the lights carefully back into their original packaging or something similar—winding a strand tightly together or leaving it to hang loose in a storage bin can lead to frayed or damaged wiring. 

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.  

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.

Testing tools, such as Christmas light testers, non-contact proximity electrical testers, and multimeters, all simplify the process of testing Christmas lights. However, without one or more of those tools, testing Christmas lights the old-fashioned way only works sometimes. Without testing tools, the simplest testing method is visual inspection, which may or may not yield positive results.
