Q: What types of landscape lighting are available?

• <div><p>There are tons of different types of landscape lighting available, including the choice between solar and wired, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/incandescent-vs-led.htm">incandescent and LED</a>, and a variety of colors. Specific types of lighting include:</p><ul><li><p>Pathway lights: $50&ndash;$150 per fixture</p></li><li><p>String lights: $50&ndash;$150</p></li><li><p>Low-voltage lights: $90&ndash;$150 per fixture</p></li><li><p>Porch lights: $65&ndash;$250 per fixture</p></li><li><p>Floodlights: $75&ndash;$250 per fixture</p></li><li><p>Downlights: $100&ndash;$400 per fixture</p></li><li><p>Uplights: $100&ndash;$400 per fixture</p></li><li><p>Security lights: $ 350&ndash;$500 per fixture</p></li><li><p>Lamp posts: $400&ndash;$1,100 per lamp post</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: What is the lifespan of landscape lighting?

• <div><p>High-quality landscape lights that are hardwired and properly maintained can last for 10 to 25 years or more. You&rsquo;ll usually get a longer lifespan from soffit lights and wall-mounted lights that aren&rsquo;t directly exposed to the elements or prone to damage from foot traffic or vehicle traffic. Solar-powered and battery-powered lights often won&rsquo;t last as long, but you can still expect a lifespan of five to 15 years.</p></div>

Q: Should outdoor lights be on GFCI?

• <div><p>Yes, the outdoors is one of the areas where GFCI is always required. The receptacles used outdoors must have a ground-fault circuit interrupter, or GFCI, for safety reasons. Not only does GFCI make it safer for operation even in wet locations, including bathrooms, outdoors, basements, and other areas, but also they&rsquo;ll automatically trip if there&rsquo;s an imbalance in the circuit, keeping you safe from electrocution and decreasing the risk of an electrical fire.</p></div>

Q: Is there an easy way to test Christmas lights?

• <div><p>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. </p></div>

Q: How do I stop my outdoor Christmas lights from shorting out?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

"I typically do not leave reviews, but my experience with Tom Drexler Plumbing was so poor that I feel compelled to share it in hopes of preventing others from wasting their time and money. I initially contacted the company to address a leaking faucet in a spare bathroom. I was given a vague appointment window of 8 AM to 5 PM and informed that if I didn’t answer a call prior to their arrival, the technician would not show up. When the technician arrived, he spent time criticizing the company’s hiring practices rather than focusing on the repair. He determined that a full tub and shower replacement was needed, quoting over $1,000. The work could not be done the same day, requiring me to schedule another appointment. The technician arrived late and took the entire day to complete the job, spending a significant portion of time sitting on my staircase visibly exhausted. The installation was subpar—both the faucet and showerhead were protruding nearly two inches from the wall, and the showerhead was visibly crooked. The faucet and showerhead were protruding so far out they couldn't even be caulked. My wife documented the issues with photos. She sent them to me after the tech left. I immediately called Tom Drexler, informed them of the subpar work, and requested a different technician to correct the poor workmanship. A new technician arrived the following week and made the necessary adjustments. However, within four days of using the shower, a leak developed in the ceiling of the kitchen below, and our toilet began leaking from the base when flushed—suggesting possible plumbing pressure or blockage issues. I contacted the company again and scheduled yet another appointment. Despite being given the same 8 AM to 5 PM time frame, no one showed up, and I had to follow up myself to learn the technician wasn’t coming. Eventually, another technician did visit and claimed the ceiling leak was due to "residual water" and dismissed the toilet issue. When the ceiling stain continued to grow, I called again and requested a supervisor. The supervisor came a week later, concluded that the issue wasn’t related to their work, and left without offering any solutions. Altogether, I had to take four days off work to accommodate this series of visits. I now need to hire another plumber from a different company to resolve the ongoing leak. Based on my experience, I cannot in good conscience recommend Tom Drexler Plumbing. The quality of work, communication, and overall customer service were consistently poor throughout the entire process."
