"Amaury is my go-to guy for electrical from now on! He did a great job installing an exterior light for my backyard, which involved running wires from the deck, through the basement and up to the light switch in my kitchen. Got the job done in one day, was super nice and professional, and talked me through exactly how he would accomplish what i wanted done. Would definitely hire him in the future!"

"My husband and I had the pleasure of working with CJ and we cannot recommend him enough! I had struggled with our living room for years and was never truly happy. Not only did CJ help us design and create a beautiful living room, he taught me how to be at peace with my decision-making. He is the whole package: creative, professional, patient and understanding. My husband and I have very different decorating styles and CJ was able to make us both very happy! He is a principled, kind person with tremendous integrity. Iâ m sure our Project was not one of his biggest, yet his passion and dedication made us feel like truly valued clients. Working with CJ was an absolute joy, and I feel that joy over and over every time I look at my living room!"

Lighting questions, answered by experts

No, you should not leave LED Christmas lights up all year. While the LED lights themselves are very durable, their wiring and casings can be as vulnerable as any Christmas lights. They’re subject to drying out, experiencing cold or sun damage that causes them to crack, and even damage caused by gnawing pests. (The same is true of incandescents.) If you want your lights to last the years that they’re rated for, bring them inside after Christmas is over. 

One possibility is that they aren’t getting enough sunlight during the day, which could be due to a lack of sunshine in your area or trees blocking the solar panel. Alternatively, if the solar panel is dirty or the batteries are dying, your solar lights might not operate at full brightness.

Yes, animals can trigger motion-sensor lights. In fact, this is a reason why some homeowners install motion-sensor lights, to catch sneaky little critters looking through the rubbish for a midnight snack. There are sensitivities to animal detection though, so you may want to look for an option that avoids animal detection as much as possible.

The average cost to install outdoor or landscape lighting is around $4,000, with most projects ranging from $2,000 to $6,000. The total cost can vary widely depending on several factors, including the number of fixtures, design complexity, and the type and quality of the lights used, such as wall sconces, pathway lights, or lamp posts. Other factors that influence the price are the square footage of the area being lit, the amount of electrical work needed, any required excavation or trenching, and local permitting costs. For specific types, you might pay around $100 for pathway or string lighting and up to $700 for lamp post lighting.

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.
