"Todd, the owner took my call and gave me a quote to install recessed lights and track lights and switchs. He was very thorough, professional courteous. He gave me a very reasonable quote on my first call and set up a convenient time for installation..He gave me a reminder call the day before and a few minutes before arriving his staff arrived. The electricians were very professional and put down protective measures to keep the area clean, They minimized the area that had to be cut in the wall to do the wiring for the 3 new Recessed Lights and Switches. They covered the work area with plastic and cleaned up after the job. I highly recommend this C.T. Smith Electrical Services, LLC for timely, quality, electrical work. I am a happy satisfied customer and give them a five-star rating and recommendation."

"I wanted flower bed on side of house removed, weed barrier put down and covered with stone. Beds in front of house to be cleaned out and bushes removed. Weed barrier put down and covered with mulch so I can put large pots on top. I wanted flowers without weeding. Donta understood what I wanted. He and his team did a wonderful job!!!! He came and priced it one day and started the next day. Two days of HARD work and job completed. They removed a 14 foot truck full of weeds, bushes, roots and unwanted plants. The work was done so quickly and neatly. Donta and his team were so nice and friendly. I will definitely recommend to all my friends."

I entered the world of design in 2004, founding my flagship brand, Keggy. I designed custom fabrics, trims, and hardware, and launched a line of accessories, jewelry, and outerwear. \nDriven by an obsession with fine fabrics, I have focused on my Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Virginia-based interior design business since 2017. Drawing from front-line experience in bespoke design, I blend textures, colors and materials to create spaces that feel unexpected, distinctive, and deeply personal. My experience spans design, development, production, marketing, sales, and fulfillment, giving me a practical understanding of how to balance budgets while bringing creative possibilities to life.

Lighting FAQs, 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.

Pool lights are designed to be safe by protecting swimmers from electrocution. These lights are made with waterproof fixtures and seals to prevent contact with the water.

Electrocution from pool lights is still possible, but rare. Faulty wiring or broken lighting equipment can make lights unsafe, so it’s important to replace lights as needed and have an electrician inspect and upgrade the wiring.

Yes, outdoor lights and receptacles should be on a ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) for safety. The outdoors is considered a wet location where GFCI protection is generally required. A GFCI enhances safety by automatically tripping and shutting off the circuit if it detects an imbalance, which protects against electrocution and reduces the risk of an electrical fire. While it is the safest approach for all outdoor electrical components, specific requirements can vary depending on the type of light (e.g., pool lights), its location, and local electrical codes. For guidance tailored to your specific situation, it's best to consult a professional electrician.

Replacing a pool light costs about $625 per light. If you only need to replace the light bulb, plan on paying about $20 to $100 per light. The largest cost factors include the type of pool light, the number of pool lights needed, and the labor costs in your location. But additional cost factors include work required on existing wiring, other repairs, and the continual maintenance needed to keep your pool light in good working condition after installation.

Inspect for burnt-out bulbs, secure connections, and protect from water exposure to maintain functionality.
