Quality Installation

Illuminate Your Property After Dark

We design and install landscape lighting systems that highlight your home’s architecture and landscaping. Our installations run on low-voltage transformers. Most systems use 12V or 15V power. We size each transformer based on your total wattage needs. We also plan for future expansion. We handle the complete process from layout design to final connection. Every fixture gets positioned to eliminate glare. We maximize visual impact at the same time. We bury all wiring at proper depth. All connections get protected against moisture intrusion. Our team pulls permits when required. All work meets NEC Article 411 standards for lighting systems. We use commercial-grade fixtures. They withstand weather exposure year after year. Each project includes a detailed lighting plan. It shows fixture locations and beam angles. We program timers or photocells so your lights operate automatically. Our goal is creating outdoor spaces you can enjoy safely after sunset.

Common Questions

Residential Electrical FAQs

Common questions from Triangle homeowners about residential electrical services. Don’t see yours? Call us directly — we’re happy to help.
How much power does a typical system use?
Most residential landscape lighting systems draw between 200 and 600 watts total. We install transformers rated at least 20% above your actual load. This prevents overheating and extends equipment life. A 300-watt system costs roughly $8 to $12 per month to operate if running six hours nightly. We calculate your exact consumption during the design phase.
We typically install 12-volt systems for most residential applications. Low voltage is safer to work around. It meets code requirements without conduit in many situations. For larger properties or runs exceeding 100 feet, we sometimes use 15-volt transformers. This compensates for voltage drop. We measure voltage at the furthest fixture to ensure adequate brightness throughout your system.
We bury low-voltage landscape lighting cable at minimum six inches deep. This satisfies most local codes. In planting beds, we sometimes go slightly shallower but always below root zone disturbance. We use direct-burial rated wire. We avoid splices underground whenever possible. All connection points happen at fixture locations where we can service them later if needed.
Yes, we expand existing systems regularly. First, we check your current transformer capacity. We measure voltage drop on existing runs. If you have available capacity and acceptable voltage levels, we tap into existing wire runs. If your transformer is maxed out, we install a second transformer on a separate circuit to handle the additional fixtures properly.
We typically install photocell sensors that turn lights on at dusk and off at dawn automatically. Many clients add timers to shut lights off at a specific hour to save energy. We also install smart controllers that connect to your phone. You get manual control and scheduling. Astronomical timers adjust automatically for seasonal sunrise and sunset changes throughout the year.

Astronomical timers adjust automatically for seasonal sunrise and sunset changes throughout the year.
Permit requirements vary by jurisdiction. Low-voltage lighting often does not require permits. We always check local regulations before starting. If we install a new outdoor outlet or circuit to feed your transformer, that electrical work typically requires a permit and inspection. We handle all permit applications and coordinate inspections when necessary for your project.
