"This is a follow up review. It is not very often that a small business owner takes customer satisfaction as seriously as Drew and Jessica. When we had some issues with the older less reliable lighting programing software, Drew upgraded us at the cost of the new hardware and did not charge us a cent for the labor involved. The new Lutron system has been exceptional and it is helping us both, Envision and my budget, save money since it is rock solid. Envison Outdoor Lighting understands what real customer satisfaction means and I totally, unequivocally, recommend them for ANY installation in Central NJ and Eastern PA !!!. They are trustworthy, fair and honest and represent all that can be right with small business entrepreneurs in the U.S. in 2025!

"The team did a good job of creating a visually-appealing design from planning to execution. Our home looks extremely different and the landscape lighting was the finishing touches we needed."
"Everything went better than expected. Everyone on the street complimented me on how my lights looked and I even had cars stopping by out front just to get a good look at the house. Perfect service for a busy family or big holiday party. I will definitely be getting them again next year!!!"
"They were awesome. Turns out they do more than electrical work which was great for me because I had a lot of smaller projects that needed to be done as well. They responded to my request minutes after clicking the submit button on the service magic site."
"Mark is very knowledgeable in everything electric. We are a small business in the financial industry. We had an electrical problem which wasn't life threatening but it was at the end of the business day - He made the time to visit our office to assess our situation. He has an assistant, Joe and both are very professional and prompt. We plan on using Mark and Joe for other projects! I would recommend Mark and Joe, and guarantee satisfaction with their level of committed service!"
"I've used them a lot. They are my electrician. They will show up when I ask them if I have a problem, they are always very good about that, and they are very thorough. I never had any major issues with them at all. They are good when they come in, they are very respectful of everything, and they clean up very nicely. A lot of contractors don't do that. For their pricing, I think they are about average or a little above average."
"My son's bedroom light switch had burned out. Richard diagnosed the problem right away and he replaced the dimmer switch with a new one. Great experience overall. I would definitely use him again."
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.
Your maintenance needs revolve around the type of foundation you choose, as well as how you furnish or decorate it. Patios require little else other than the occasional hose-down, but decks and other wooden structures will require annual power washing and sealing. You may also need to restain the wood every two to three years.
Adding a solid roof rather than building a pergola or leaving the space open will make maintenance much easier. Without a roof, you will need to spend more time sweeping, washing, and covering your furniture to protect it from UV bleaching.
Modern outdoor light fixtures are waterproof and weather resistant, and, provided they’re installed correctly and by a professional, the fixture and wiring can last for 20 to 30 years or more.

CFL bulb (for sustained use): 15,000 hours

HID bulbs (for security): 12,000 hours
Incandescent bulb: 1,000 hours
LED bulb: 50,000 hours
