"If I could give TriUs ten stars, I would do so gladly. James Jones, Master Electrician called within minutes of my posting on HomeAdvisor. He came to the house the next morning, spent half a day updating our electrical, and other odd electrical jobs. We had spent almost two weeks without light in our kitchen and main bathroom. You can only imagine what I looked like after not having light to "do" my face each morning. Also, we had to place extension cords all over the kitchen in order to keep our refrigerator and freezer going. On top of all that, James fixed overhead lights, fan/lights, hallway lights, and my office light . . . all of which had stopped working years ago. James is not only gracious and an all around pleasant fellow, but he is an extraordinary electrician. My husband and I cannot say enough good things about James Jones and TriUs Electric, and strongly recommend this company to anyone who has issues with their electrical."

"Top notch work. Two very well mannered gentlemen arrived and took the time to explain everything to me. Gave me advice on other projects and were very patient with all my questions. Work was a little easier than expected so my bill was less expensive than quoted. House looks phenomenal now with this outdoor lighting package and the walkway lights make the house look like the cover of a magazine. Highly recommend this company. They even messaged me that night once the lights were illuminated to ensure everything was up to my satisfaction. Quick, professional, and courteous. Revitalize the look of your home with the curb appeal of outdoor lighting."

"We had a wonderful experience with Outdoor Lighting Perspectives! The owner, Jim contacted us within minutes despite it being after hours and answered a few of our questions before getting us scheduled for a consultation a few days later. We discussed options for scope of project, fixture type and how it would be controlled. On e we hd a good budget in place we then scheduled a night time demo where they showed us how the lighting would look installed! A few days later (we hd to wait for Dig Safe to mark the utilities)our lighting system was installed! We could not be happier with our decision to go with Outdoor Lighting Perspectives!"

Lighting questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

If you take home a pre-lit Christmas tree but want to spruce it up with blinking lights, don’t worry, there’s a simple solution. You can easily replace the light bulbs on the pre-lit tree with flashing bulbs. For a more subtle look, only replace some of the bulbs with flashing bulbs.

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.
