Frequently Asked Questions
- Is low-voltage LED landscape lighting expensive to operate in Plano?
- Not at all. Modern low-voltage LED landscape systems consume up to 80% less electricity than old high-voltage halogen systems. Running an entire system of 10-15 LED path and spotlights typically costs less than $5 to $10 per month in electricity.
- How does professional outdoor lighting improve my home's security?
- Intruders prefer dark, unlit properties. By illuminating walkways, blind spots, entryways, and your home’s perimeter, you eliminate hiding spots. We can install motion-activated security lights and programmable astronomical timers that turn lights on automatically at sunset.
- How do you protect landscape lighting wires and fixtures from Texas weather?
- We use commercial-grade brass or copper fixtures (which resist moisture and corrosion) and bury direct-burial cables at code-approved depths. We also use silicon-filled waterproof wire connectors to prevent water from entering the connections and causing short circuits.
- Can you repair and upgrade my existing halogen landscape lighting system?
- Yes. We troubleshoot cut wires (common from lawn care), repair failed transformers, and retro-fit old halogen fixtures with energy-efficient LED bulbs. We can also add smart controllers so you can schedule lighting via your smartphone.
