What we install

Path, accent, and security lighting

We install low-voltage lighting to mark walkways, highlight trees and architectural features, and light up entry points for safety. Fixtures run on a single low-voltage transformer, which keeps installation simpler and safer than line-voltage wiring across the yard.

Why Durham homeowners choose our lighting installs

Low-voltage systems done safely

Wiring is run and connected the way low-voltage systems are meant to be installed, not just spliced together above ground.

Fixtures placed with a plan

We walk the property after dark before finalizing fixture placement, not just guessing from a daytime layout.

Room to expand the system

Transformers are sized with extra capacity so fixtures can be added later without a full system redo.

Transformer sized for your fixture count

We size the transformer with headroom instead of maxing it out on day one.

Low-voltage systems we install

Path lighting

Fixtures spaced along walkways and driveways for safer nighttime footing.

Accent lighting

Uplighting on trees, columns, and other features worth highlighting after dark.

Timers and smart controls

Systems set to a timer or smart control so lights come on automatically at dusk.

Our Process

How a lighting installation works

1

Evening walkthrough

We walk the property after dark to identify safety points and features worth highlighting.

2

Fixture and layout plan

Path, accent, and security fixtures are mapped out and matched to a transformer sized for the job.

3

Wiring and fixture installation

Low-voltage wiring is run and fixtures are installed and aimed for the best effect.

4

Timer or smart control setup

The system is set to a timer or smart control so lights turn on automatically at dusk.

Design first

Planning where every fixture goes

A lighting plan starts with a walk of the property after dark, noting which steps, transitions, and features actually need light versus which ones just look good lit. We layer path lighting for safety with accent lighting for features, then run wiring back to a single transformer sized with room for the fixtures you have now plus a few more later.

Landscape lighting questions

How much does landscape lighting cost to run?

Low-voltage LED fixtures use very little power, so the added cost to your electric bill is typically minor even with the system running nightly.

How much maintenance does the system need?

LED fixtures last a long time with little upkeep. Occasional cleaning and checking connections after storms is usually all that's needed.

Can I add more fixtures later?

Yes. Systems are typically installed with some capacity to add fixtures to the same transformer later.

Do you install timers or smart controls?

Yes, including dusk-to-dawn timers and app-controlled options.
