"We had an amazing experience with Concept, Light, and Sound for my walkway, and landscape lighting. From design to installation and exceptional customer service, they went above and beyond. The dedication of the owner Phil, was incredible. Post installation, Phil came by my house multiple times, just to ensure the angle of the lights were placed perfectly on my trees. Our home has never looked better! I would highly recommend their services."
"Hired First Wave to repair some low voltage outdoor lighting. Called them late Thursday and they returned my call right away. Mike showed up Friday morning and diagnosed the problem and completed the repair that day. Very professional and excellent quality. I would recommend them anytime."
"Might have been better to wire (c wire installation) to its own transformer rather than using the transformer directly attached to furnace - thermostat shuts down when furnace LWC light goes on (intermittent as an auto refill is attached) and does not restart itself (thermostat) until I turn the furnace switch on/off ??? Will have to have the furnace man check/correct this during the annual service this fall."
"He is amazing Ralphie did some led lighting work for me and did all the led conversions as well. He did nearly 30 jobs for me and is super responsive. I recommend his company to anyone."
"Preferred installed our pool patio light poles and lights. The owner was incredible to work with, he was extremely responsive and professional. I highly recommend them and look forward to using them again in the future."

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.
Installing outdoor lighting can increase your home’s value by up to $2,500. The average ROI on landscape lighting is around 50%, but how much your home increases depends on the market, the type of lighting, and whether you have a strong strategy for your landscaping lighting project. LED and solar lighting may offer the highest ROIs.
Simple repairs like replacing bulbs can be DIY projects, but professionals should handle significant electrical repairs to ensure safety and compliance with electrical standards.
Between seasons, inspect cords for damage, replace burnt-out bulbs, and clean lighting fixtures to prevent dirt buildup. Proper storage in cool, dry conditions will extend the lights' lifespan and minimize repairs or replacements when redeployed.
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.
