Your Current Outdoor Lights Keep Failing

If your outdoor fixtures burn out frequently or stop working after rain, the wiring or fixture type is likely the issue. We install commercial-grade weather-rated fixtures that hold up in New Jersey winters.

Your Current Outdoor Lights Keep Failing

You Are Landscaping or Adding a Deck

Homeowners in Marlboro and Manalapan adding decks, patios, or landscaping often add outdoor lighting at the same time. This is the best time to run wiring before the ground or hardscape is finished.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions homeowners ask before installing outdoor lighting

What type of outdoor lighting is best for home security in New Jersey?

Motion-activated LED floodlights at entry points, garage areas, and along the perimeter are the most effective security lighting setup. They conserve energy by only activating when triggered and are more likely to deter someone than a light that is always on and easy to anticipate. We install motion sensors with adjustable sensitivity and range so you are not triggering the lights every time a car drives by.

What is a photocell and should my outdoor lights have one?

A photocell is a sensor that turns your outdoor lights on at dusk and off at dawn automatically. It is one of the most practical additions to any outdoor lighting setup because you never have to think about it. We install photocells on most exterior fixture jobs and can add them to existing outdoor lights as well.

Can outdoor lighting wiring be buried in my yard and will it damage my landscaping?

Yes, wiring can be buried. Low-voltage landscape wiring is buried at a shallow depth and line-voltage wiring for fixtures is run in conduit at the proper depth per NJ code. We work carefully around existing landscaping and restore the ground as cleanly as possible after the job. For properties in Howell and Marlboro with established landscaping, we discuss the routing plan during the estimate so you know exactly what to expect.

Do outdoor outlets need to be weatherproof and what does that mean exactly?

Yes. All outdoor outlets must be GFCI-protected and installed in weatherproof covers rated for wet locations. NJ code distinguishes between "weather-resistant" covers and "in-use" covers, the latter of which protects the outlet even when something is plugged in. We install in-use covers as standard practice on all exterior outlet installations.
