FAQ
I already have a lighting system but it needs repairs. Can you help?
Yes! We do service existing systems. Replacing bulbs, cleaning and repositioning fixtures, burying exposed wire, reconnecting fixtures with industry leading connections. We can do it all when it comes to outdoor lighting! We’d be happy to take a look at your system and provide a quote for repair.
I'm interested in having outdoor lights installed. What's the next step?
Please give us a call, and we will schedule a complimentary design consultation. We will walk the property with you and discuss your goals, needs, and style. We will determine a budget that feels comfortable for you and talk about some design elements which we would like to include. We will highlight focal points and dark areas for beauty, safety, and security. These appointments usually last about 45 minutes to an hour, depending on the size of your property. If you have any questions feel free to give us a call.
How do I find a good outdoor lighting company near me?
Here are some tips we recommend for customers looking for a lighting company:
1. We recommend finding a company who only does landscape lighting. They will not be distracted by other areas of work and they really have the investment and experience in making sure they provide top of the line products.
- Read their google reviews and ask for references!
- Call them and get a feel for the service experience you received over the phone during your initial call. Were they friendly and informative? Did they seem experienced and ready to provide good customer service?
- Are they members of different associations and/or organizations? Do they attend conferences and trainings? Being members and attending trainings is the absolute best way to network with other leading professionals and to gain knowledge in the field.
- Do they have a Portfolio online and do you like the style of their designs?
Why do you install LED lights and how much more will my electric bill be?
LED (Light Emitting Diodes) are the only way to go. LED’s come in a variety of color temperatures (Kelvins) and the technology has come so far; the wattage can be minimal with a high lumens output. You will not see a change in your electric bill with low voltage LED systems.
Our general rule of thumb:
A 20 light system – each bulb is 5 watts:
Increase of $1.98 / Month
Increase of $23.76 / Year
Give us a call to get the formula we use to calculate electric bill increases.
How much does a landscape lighting system cost?
We offer several different packages which meet all budgets. Our systems usually start at around $3,000 and our average system is about $10,000.
We are prepared, experienced and ready to install just a few lights for safe passage while also installing a system at an estate with a $50,000 budget. No job is too small or too big!
Give us a call and we will be happy to take a look at your project and provide a detailed quote during our initial meeting.
Do you install solar lights and which ones do you recommend?
We do not install solar lights. We truly feel that this is a disservice to you and your outdoor environment. Many people believe that it is a more environmentally friendly solution, however, we believe the contrary. You will not get the effects you want with solar lights and they will quickly fail, in turn you will inevitably throw them away clogging up the landfills. Unfortunately, doing the exact thing you were hoping to avoid. Low voltage LED systems are made to last, you will not see a significant change in your electric bill and they create much nicer lighting effects.
What areas do you serve?
We are based out of Asheville, NC, and serve all areas in about a 100-mile radius. We will happily drive further out if you need our lighting service.
Why should I choose a lighting company over a landscape company who offers lighting services?
We focus all of our energy on LED landscape lighting systems. We are not distracted by other industries or projects and our team continuously does staff development and training. We keep ourselves up to date with the latest technology and products. We do not use materials that can be found at Lowes or Home Depot like landscapers do. We have the design and installation experience needed to be the primer lighting company in Asheville and surrounding areas.
