Outdoor and landscape lighting in San Diego.
San Diego homes spend half their life outdoors. Path lights that frame a walkway, uplights that turn a palm into a landmark, and security floods at the right places change how a home feels and how safe it is. We design and install — line-voltage and low-voltage both, with weather-rated wire and fixtures that last.

What do homeowners ask about Outdoor Lighting?
How much does landscape lighting cost in San Diego?

Should I do line-voltage or low-voltage outdoor lighting?
Low-voltage (12V) is the standard for landscape lighting — safer to work near, easier to expand, and the fixture options are far better. Line-voltage (120V) is used for floodlights, exterior outlets, and structural lighting. Most installs use both for the right purposes.
How long do landscape lights last?
Quality LED low-voltage fixtures last 10–15 years. Cheap big-box fixtures last 2–4 years before lens fogging or LED failure. We install brands that hold up — FX Luminaire, Kichler, Vista — at fair pricing.
Can you install pool or spa lighting?
Yes. Pool and spa lighting must be installed by a licensed electrician and meet specific NEC requirements for bonding, GFCI, and equipotential grounding. We follow code and pull the permit when one is required.
Can the lighting be on a smart timer?
Yes. Most systems use astronomical clocks that adjust on/off times to actual sunrise and sunset year-round. Lutron Caseta and Hampton Bay app-based timers are also options. We pick based on what fits the rest of your home.
