What Makes Outdoor Lighting “The Best”?
Energy Efficiency – We install low-voltage LED lights with long lifespans (50,000+ hours).
Smart Functionality – Add timers, dimmers, motion sensors, or app control.
Weatherproof Durability – All fixtures and connections are rated for outdoor use.
Clean, Code-Compliant Installation – No exposed wires, no mess.
Professional Design – We balance form and function, ensuring even light distribution and visual impact.
Should You Buy Materials or Let the Electrician Handle It?
Many homeowners ask whether they should buy lighting materials first.
Our recommendation: Let a licensed electrician like LA Pro Electrical guide you.
We include all materials in our packages—tested, rated, and selected for long-term outdoor performance. This ensures compatibility, safety, and professional-grade quality throughout the install.
How Long Does Garden Lighting Installation Take?
Most garden lighting projects are completed in a single day.
Larger or more complex installs may take 1–2 days, depending on:
Number of lights
Wiring access points
Custom features or control options
We schedule your service with precision so there’s no long wait time—and we clean up thoroughly after installation.
