"I would highly recommend Anthony from A Squared Electical for any of your electrical needs. Anthony communicated with us several times prior to coming to be certain of our needs. He arrived on time, was efficient, courteous and very knowledgeable. He showed concern for our home by putting down a drop cloth and cleaned up afterwards. He replaced 3 hanging ceiling lights; 1 bathroom light fixture, and 1 hanging ceiling fan. He also repaired a nonfunctional wall socket; as well as, installed several dimmer switches. We are having him come back to install addition lighting in our garage and replace the bathroom fan. Anthony will be our go-to person for any electrical needs we may have."

"We had a great experience getting our patio done. Nate was communicative throughout the entire project, always keeping us informed on progress and any issues they encountered along the way. He also made a point to stop by in person to review everything and talk things through, which we really appreciated. Their availability was very flexible, making the whole process easy to coordinate. Most importantly, the final result is absolutely beautiful! We are so happy with how it turned out and look forward to spending time on it this summer!"

"The work David did was very professional and he paid close attention to details. The new service line runs in conduit through the garage and David did a great job installing the conduit with multiple bends or curves so it is out of the way and protected. There were two electricians and a helper on the job. David worked on the service line, meter connection, and master cut-off switch.

I would give the job an A for quality except that when the new circuit breaker box was connected to the house wiring no record was kept to match the old circuit numbers to the numbers in the new box.

A second electrician installed the new circuit breaker box and connected it to the house wiring, and continued working after David left for another job. When I asked the second electrician about mapping the circuits I was told he and the helper would do that at the end and that he never tries to keep track of the old circuit numbers and the identifications listed in the old box because they are often incorrect and he would rather re-map them. He tried to use the electronic circuit detector--it is plugged into an outlet and then the breaker is detected in the basement. That didn't work well so they started turning breakers on and off to see which outlets were associated with a circuit. In the end less than half of the circuits were identified by them and I had to determine which circuits controlled the kitchen appliances, furnace, ceiling lights, outdoor lights, and the majority of the outlets. If he had kept track of the relationship between the old circuit breaker box identification numbers and the new box, it would have saved him and me a lot of time and effort.

"We hired Casey to hang our exterior Christmas lights and garlands. Not only did he do the job, he also contributed to the designs. The outcome was top notch. We were so happy with his work that we had him install exterior light fixtures. Casey was a true professional and we enjoyed working with him. We have many other jobs that we will be using his services for. ."

Lighting questions, answered by experts

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.

There are tons of different types of landscape lighting available, including the choice between solar and wired, incandescent and LED, and a variety of colors. Specific types of lighting include:

  • Pathway lights: $50–$150 per fixture

  • String lights: $50–$150

  • Low-voltage lights: $90–$150 per fixture

  • Porch lights: $65–$250 per fixture

  • Floodlights: $75–$250 per fixture

  • Downlights: $100–$400 per fixture

  • Uplights: $100–$400 per fixture

  • Security lights: $ 350–$500 per fixture

  • Lamp posts: $400–$1,100 per lamp post

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.

While wet-rated and damp-rated lighting is designed to handle contact with moisture, there’s a difference between the two. Wet-rated lighting is safety-rated to be placed in areas with direct exposure to water, including your shower. Fixtures classed as wet-rated are made with waterproof seals to protect the filament and other electrical components from water and moisture. 

Damp-rated fixtures can be used in places with some moisture contact, but not direct exposure. They don’t have the same waterproof seals used in wet-rated fixtures. Damp-rated lighting can be used on your bathroom ceiling or along a wall outside of your shower.

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.
