"We had a very pleasant experience with this company. Sergio was our initial contact for this project. He was very knowledgeable and attentive as we explained our ideas and what we were looking for. He took his time and explained to us in detail what we should expect from start to finish and delivered exactly that. Very professional demeanor, answered all of our questions and was very consistent in his work ethic. Communication with scheduling, payment, and time management were awesome. We came up with a plan and they delivered with ease. They worked quickly yet efficiently and very neatlyâ we are very happy/satisfied customers. What was once a dark, dreary backyard is now a space that I look forward to spending more of my time and enjoying. The lights give off the perfect ambiance that I was looking for and we are looking forward to making memories with friends and family this summer! Would definitely recommend!"

"Dennis and Saul were very professional at what they do. I had them install recessed lighting and replaced the older ones. They were able to order a bigger sized light for the replacement and were able to come back in a few days. They even took my Swiffer WetJet and cleaned up after themselves without asking. I would recommend A Plus Electric!"

Exterior Lighting FAQs, answered by experts

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.

While most general electricians can repair lamps and light fixtures, it is often better to hire a lamp repair specialist. Many electricians prefer larger jobs, such as fixing electrical systems or relocating fixtures, and may not offer lamp repair services due to the small scale of the work. Additionally, some lamps, particularly antique models, require dedicated expertise that a general electrician might not have. A lamp repair specialist will be familiar with various types of fixtures and can provide a more dedicated service. If you have already hired an electrician for a larger project, you can ask them to look at your lamp, but for a standalone repair, a specialist is typically the best option.

Depending on complexity and materials, costs range from $150 to $500 per fixture.

Outdoor lighting repairs typically take between 1-3 hours. The exact duration can vary depending on factors such as the complexity of the problem, the extent of the damage, and the ease of access to the lighting fixtures and wiring.

To maintain your outdoor lighting and prevent major issues, you should regularly clean the fixtures, inspect the wiring and connections, and replace worn or burnt-out bulbs promptly. These simple steps ensure consistent operation and extend the life of your lighting system.
