"I moved to my new home in Aug 18. All the landscape lights were shot. Was looking for a good landscape company to fix it and provide design input. Talked a few and was not happy with them ( price and trust). Then I came across Rodrigo and everything changed. He was prompt, professional, polite and very knowledgeable. Within about 30 mins of meeting him and discussing his thoughts on improving my landscape lights and hearing his price quote, I signed him up and did not regret it till today. He was prompt, did the job better than promised and a great job at that. I still go and admire the lights every night till i get used to them. He not only installs the lights but also provides feedback on best practices specific to your home. Simple example, after he completed the light installation, he pointed out that the 2 lamps near my front door did not match the indoor lights and landscape lights and recommended I change them to match it. He provided 2 new lights that matched my indoor and new outdoor lights and were brighter and more efficient. All in all a definite recommend. I asked him if he provided any other home services like sprinklers, etc. Unfortunately he does not do more than landscape lights, or I would have certainly signed him up for those as well."

"We have a 3 storey house and the team at Brite Idea came out and put up the lights on the house. They had to come out a second day with a longer ladder to finish up but the end job was worth the wait. We did the lights around the bushes which balanced the others beautifully. We agreed to a 3 year contract which suits us since we love having the house lit up for the holidays. I'm sure we'll continue as long as we live here."

Lighting questions, answered by experts

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. 

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.

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.

Table lamps, floor lamps, chandeliers, desk lamps, and antique or decorative light fixtures that hold sentimental or aesthetic value are commonly repaired.

There are a number of reasons that landscape lights burn out, including an incorrectly installed transformer, inconsistent voltage, and burned-out or faulty bulbs. Troubleshoot landscape lighting problems by first determining whether it’s a system-wide problem or an issue with just one light, which will help you get to the bottom of your outdoor lighting woes.
