Outdoor lighting does three things at once: it makes the house easier to walk up to at night, it makes the yard look intentional, and it stops the porch from feeling like a black hole at 6 pm in January. We install outdoor lighting across the St. Louis metro on permit, on a dedicated 120V circuit, with photocell or timer control wired in so the lights come on at dusk and shut off without anybody touching a switch.
Common outdoor lighting projects we install:
Every install meets National Electrical Code (NEC) standards with weather-rated boxes and GFCI protection on outdoor circuits. One-year written labor warranty. For ENERGY STAR LED guidance, see EnergyStar.gov.
A simple swap (replacing an existing porch light or sconce) is usually a quick job. A multi-fixture install with a new circuit, photocell control, and trenching for a path-light run is a bigger project, scoped depending on the layout.
Single-fixture swaps are a quick, straightforward job. A multi-fixture install with a new circuit, a photocell, and a trenched path-light run is a larger project, scoped on the written estimate before the work starts.

Single-fixture swaps usually share the existing porch-light circuit. Multi-fixture installs (path lights along the walkway, accent lights on trees, a new spot for a deck pergola) get a new dedicated 15A or 20A circuit pulled from the panel, on a photocell. That way the whole system comes on at dusk without separate switches in the house.
Three options. A photocell (sensor that turns on at dusk, off at dawn) is the simplest and the cheapest. A timer gives you on-off control by time of day. A smart switch (Lutron Caseta, Leviton Decora Smart) pairs with the app on your phone and lets you set schedules from the couch. We wire all three. Most homeowners go with a photocell on the path lights and a smart switch on the deck circuit.
Yes, and it is one of the easiest installs we run. A switched, weather-rated outdoor outlet on the front of the house, wired to a switch in the entry closet, so you flip the Christmas lights on and off without running an extension cord through the front door. Most installs finish in under 2 hours.
