"While the project is not yet finished, I have to share that Rich has devoted a significant amount of time in the creative issue of installing an electrical barrier around an existing fence. My small but strong dog keeps scaling the fence. Rich stays in contact with me to keep me updated. I got a lotta respect for this gentleman!"

"I'm so sorry I cannot remember this young man's name. He was the most honest and kind service person I have ever met. The electrical system in my home upon purchase was a mess. No electrical outlets in the bathroom; just a ceiling fixture. The previous owners had multiple hanging lights and entertainment speakers in the basement. Affordable Electric asked me if he could take pictures of the outside outlets for lights and speakers around the pool to show his apprentices He said he had never seen anything in such dangerous condition. He showed me the defects on the circuit breaker panel and on the outside wires entering my house. I mentioned that I had purchased this money pit and became unemployed the next year. He mentioned that his wife had been unemployed. He was more than generous in charging me for his excellent, professional service. I am so grateful to him and definitely recommend him to everyone.

"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. ."

"Daniel was extremely courteous and professional to deal with. He explained various options in detail, and I felt I was able to make a more informed decision. He was repaired and upgraded my kitchen light fixture within the timeframe he promised. Zach assisted Daniel in many ways, and he deserves credit for helping to get the job done. You're very lucky to have two wonderful technicians on your team!"

Lighting questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
