"From start to finish, Joe and his team were excellent to deal with! After calling and discussing our lighting needs, Joe’s crew came out and within hours, our landscaping lights were installed. We couldn’t wait until nightfall so that we could see how it looked. We couldn’t be more thrilled on how the new lights just illuminated our house. It wasn’t a dark house anymore! Our neighbors keep complimenting us on how bright and cozy our house looks as they turn the corner and see our house glowing! We love coming home at night and seeing how our house glows. We also have the added comfort of knowing that our house feels safer because of all the lights! They even added lights to our three big trees and and our flagpole. We would highly recommend The Illuminators for all of your landscaping lighting needs."

"Dane did an amazing job. He was extremely friendly, talked through options with us for exterior lighting, gave a fair price that didn’t require haggling and came out to install the lights a couple days later. I highly recommend."

"This is the second home that we have had American National install our sprinkler system and we have been extremely happy. They are a top notch company and handled our job with professionalism from the time they quoted through installation, taking time to understand the yard and what will provide the best results for each area. They offer great support to help owners get comfortable with using the system as well. We highly recommend their work and maintenance!"

"An outstanding contractor. APS did a great job with my project. They handled all the permits and hoop-jumping nonsense with the village, began the project on time as promised and delivered a great backyard oasis and front yard transformation. They did everything from patio, to landscaping to lighting and of course, the beautiful pool, which they also provided after installation assistance with the care and upkeep. Great bunch to work with and I highly recommend them"

"Ray. Is without a doubt the most friendly, understanding, intelligent electrician l ever met. He made me feel so confident. I hire him on the spot for my electrical project. Not only he installed a 9 panel heated driveway. But also a Generac, stair lighting, indoor outdoor cam lighting, light poles, chandeliers, disposals, under cabinet lighting, outlets, switches, led mirrors, garage heater, lighting, sensors, photo eyes and a 9 camera system. Most professional work l ever seen. Ray is my only electrician for everything."

"We began a project for exterior landscape lighting, but as we got to know Randy, Mike, and Green Light Design Group, we were so impressed with their capabilities, we substantially expanded our project from exterior lighting, into landscape design, adding gorgeous new plantings, install hardscape replacement, and other substantial improvements. This project was beyond successful. Added true value to our home. Top-notch customer-oriented people! A 5-Star rating is not enough!!!"

"John was able to install our concrete patio at the end of last years' construction season when the contractor we had lined up last spring was too busy. He and his crew did an excellent job in a quick manner which allowed us the opportunity to have the new asphalt driveway installed before the plants closed down for the winter. This was huge to us as the old driveway was a mess. John literally saved our project. He is the best and will be my first call when I need other work done."

FAQs for outdoor lighting plan and installation projects in Arlington Heights, IL

Permit requirements for outdoor lighting vary depending on your location and project scope. Simple fixture replacements don't require permits, but projects involving new electrical circuits, extensive trenching, or significant system expansions often do. Local building departments establish these requirements, and many professional electricians handle permit applications as part of their service package.

The timeline for outdoor lighting installation varies based on project complexity. Basic systems might require only one to two days for complete installation, while extensive lighting networks with numerous fixtures and complex wiring needs could extend to a week or longer. Weather conditions, property accessibility, and soil characteristics can all influence how quickly professionals can complete your installation.

Outdoor lighting offers both practical and aesthetic benefits that many homeowners find valuable. Beyond enhancing nighttime visibility and security, well-designed lighting can highlight architectural features and extend outdoor living hours. While installation represents a significant investment, quality lighting may potentially increase property appeal and could contribute to overall home value.

Some outdoor lighting projects are suitable for homeowner installation, particularly simple solar fixtures or low-voltage systems that plug into existing outlets. However, projects requiring new electrical connections, permanent wiring, or integration with home electrical systems demand professional expertise. Electrical work carries inherent safety risks, and improper installation could create fire hazards or code violations.

The operating cost for outdoor lighting depends primarily on your fixture types, bulb selection, and usage patterns. Energy-efficient LED fixtures consume significantly less electricity than traditional incandescent or halogen alternatives. Controlling your lighting with timers, photocells, or motion sensors can further reduce energy usage by ensuring lights operate only when needed or beneficial.
