Our Outdoor Lighting Services in Wilmington, NC
Landscape Lighting Installation
Turn your garden into a nighttime showpiece. We light up the live oaks, palms, and plants that make your Wilmington yard beautiful.
Lights at the base of trees show off their shape and branches. Garden beds get a soft glow that makes plants stand out. Water features become eye-catching focal points.
We can also put lights up in trees to create gentle, natural-looking light—like moonlight coming through the leaves. Perfect for patios and outdoor living areas.
Our LED systems use way less electricity than traditional lighting and last for years. Beautiful yard, lower power bills.
Pool & Spa Lighting
Your pool shouldn’t sit dark and unused after sunset. We add underwater lights, perimeter lighting, and color options that make your backyard feel like a resort.
Our fixtures handle chlorine, salt water, and coastal humidity without rusting or failing. Everything is completely waterproof and meets safety codes. Add motion sensors for security when you’re not home.
Control everything from your phone—change colors, adjust brightness, set schedules. Make it bright for pool parties or soft for quiet evenings.
Pathway & Walkway Lighting
Nobody wants guests tripping in the dark. Sandy walkways and uneven pavers are hard to see at night—we fix that.
We install lights along sidewalks, driveways, and garden paths. You can choose from different styles that match your home. The light is warm and welcoming—bright enough to see clearly but not blinding.
Safe walkways also mean fewer liability worries and a home that looks inviting instead of dark and uninviting.
Deck & Patio Lighting
Make your deck safe and usable after dark. We light up steps so nobody stumbles. Add lights under railings for a floating effect. Install overhead options for dining and entertaining.
The lighting is warm and cozy—not harsh and cold. Perfect for grilling, conversation, or just relaxing outside.
Smart controls let you go from bright (when you need to see what you’re cooking) to dim (when you’re just enjoying the evening) with one tap on your phone.
Architectural & Facade Lighting
Show off what makes your home beautiful. We highlight columns, entryways, shutters, porches—whatever gives your house character.
Different techniques bring out different features. Some lights graze across brick or stone to show texture.
Others wash large areas with smooth, even light. We can backlight architectural details for drama.
Good facade lighting makes your home stand out on the street and increases property value. Neighbors will slow down to admire it.
Outdoor Security Lighting
Strategic lighting keeps your property safe without making it look like a prison yard. Motion lights at entrances deter intruders.
Well-placed fixtures eliminate dark hiding spots. Pathway lights prevent falls.
The trick is combining security with beauty. We use layered lighting—some lights stay on for ambiance, others activate with motion for security. You get both protection and a home that still looks inviting.
Control everything remotely. Set schedules, create vacation modes, check status from anywhere.
Christmas Lighting Installation
Skip the ladder, the tangled lights, and the emergency room visits. We design, install, maintain, and remove professional holiday displays.
LED lights barely add to your electric bill—even elaborate displays cost just $10-20 monthly. No damaged gutters or broken shingles.
We handle everything from Thanksgiving through New Year’s and store your lights until next season.
Commercial Outdoor Lighting
Dark parking lots lose customers. Poorly lit buildings look closed even when you’re open.
We install parking lot lighting, building illumination, and landscape lighting that attracts business and keeps everyone safe.
Professional lighting tells customers you’re welcoming and worth stopping for.
Maintenance plans keep everything working—no burned-out bulbs or flickering lights making your business look neglected.
Why Professional Installation Beats DIY
We get it—big box stores sell outdoor lighting kits that look easy to install. But here’s what happens six months later:
DIY Problems We Fix Weekly:
Professional installation costs more upfront. But you skip years of troubleshooting, replacement costs, and frustration. Our systems come with proper wire sizing, correctly sized transformers, and fixtures rated for coastal weather.
Plus, our lifetime workmanship guarantee means if something fails due to installation, we fix it free. No DIY kit offers that.
Understanding Outdoor Lighting Technology
Low Voltage Systems
12-volt systems are safer than standard 120-volt. No risk of serious shock. Easier to modify later. More energy efficient. This is the professional standard for residential landscape lighting.
LED vs Traditional Bulbs
LEDs use 75% less electricity and last 50,000+ hours (compared to 2,000 hours for halogen). They produce less heat, resist damage better, and stay bright their entire lifetime. The energy savings alone typically pays for the system within 5-7 years.
Color Temperature Matters
Warm white creates inviting, cozy illumination—like candlelight. Cool white looks harsh and sterile outdoors. We use warm white for homes because it makes spaces feel welcoming.
Brightness
More isn’t always better. We use the right amount of light for each purpose. Path lights need less brightness. Tree lights need more. Too bright creates glare and light pollution. Proper design uses just enough light for beautiful results.
Weatherproofing
Our fixtures are completely sealed against water and dust. Essential for coastal Wilmington properties where salt spray and hurricane rain are facts of life.
Outdoor Lighting Maintenance & Repairs in Wilmington
Coastal weather is brutal on outdoor fixtures. Salt air corrodes connections. Hurricanes damage wiring. Humidity degrades standard components.
That’s why we offer comprehensive maintenance services that keep your investment protected:
Annual Maintenance Includes:
Regular maintenance catches small problems before they become expensive failures. Most clients save hundreds in avoided repairs through annual service visits.
We recommend yearly maintenance for residential properties and quarterly service for commercial installations.
Our Process
1. Free Nighttime Consultation
We visit after dark with professional demo lights. You see real results on your actual property—not photos, not samples, not computer mockups.
Walk your yard with us. We light up different areas and show you options. Want to see what uplighting does to your oak tree? We’ll show you.
Curious about pathway lights along your driveway? We’ll set them up temporarily. Don’t like something? We adjust it immediately.
You make decisions based on what you see with your own eyes. This eliminates the biggest fear most homeowners have: “What if I spend thousands and hate how it looks?”
2. Custom Design & Proposal
We measure your property and create a lighting plan tailored to your space. You receive a detailed proposal showing:
- Exact fixture locations on a property diagram
- Itemized pricing with no hidden costs
- Expected visual results for each area
- Timeline for installation
Review it. Ask questions. Request changes. We refine the design until it’s exactly what you want.
3. Professional Installation
Our licensed electricians install your system using marine-grade materials built for coastal conditions.
Wire burial follows proper depth requirements for Wilmington’s sandy soil. Connections are waterproof and corrosion-resistant.
Transformers are positioned for longevity and easy access. We handle all permits and inspections.
Installation typically takes 1-2 days for most residential properties. We protect your landscaping, clean up completely, and leave your yard looking better than we found it.
4. Final Walkthrough & System Training
We turn on your completed system after dark so you see the final results. We walk through together and make any final adjustments to timing, brightness, or positioning.
You learn how to operate your system:
- Setting timers for automatic on/off
- Using smart controls (if included)
- Understanding your warranty coverage
- Knowing who to call for service
We answer every question before we leave. You’ll feel completely confident operating your new lighting.

What makes LED outdoor lighting better than traditional bulbs
LED outdoor lighting uses 75% less electricity, which saves $200-500 annually for typical systems.
They last 50,000+ hours compared to 2,000 hours for halogen bulbs—that’s 20+ years before replacement.
LEDs produce less heat (safer for plants and fixtures), resist vibration and impact better, and maintain consistent brightness throughout their life instead of dimming over time.
They’re also available in warm color temperatures that create beautiful, inviting light. The energy savings alone typically pays for the system within 5-7 years.
How long does outdoor lighting installation take?
Most residential projects take 1-2 days from start to finish. We complete everything in one visit—no dragging it out over weeks. Larger properties or complex designs may need 3-4 days.
Commercial installations vary based on property size. We schedule at your convenience and work efficiently to minimize disruption to your routine.
Will my outdoor lights survive hurricanes and coastal weather?
We use hurricane-rated fixtures with extra-strong mounting designed specifically for coastal conditions. Marine-grade connections resist salt air corrosion.
Proper burial depth (typically 6-8 inches in Wilmington’s sandy soil) protects wiring from erosion and storm surge.
While extreme weather can affect any exterior installation, our systems hold up significantly better than standard lighting. We also offer storm damage repair services when Mother Nature wins.
