"Matt Magga and his team were great. They were professional and organized. We had lost half of the lights in our back yard early in March...just as the pandemic was beginning in California. We missed our back yard so much and when we called OC Night Lights they showed up at the appointed time, assessed the problem and gave us back our special space in just a couple of hours! They will always be our first call for service!"

"We had wanted to replace the ugly boxed lighting in our kitchen. Communication to set up appointment was excellent (fast responses) and we were able to schedule quickly (within a couple of days). Tom called to notify us he was on his way and arrived on time and was very polite and professional. The work area was draped and taped to minimize dust/debris, the floor was covered and the work done quickly and neatly. Wow, what a pleasure! We have a few other lighting projects and will definitely use their services again."

"I took discounted deal to install first 4 lights. Every additional installation gets expensive. The deal actually installs regular non-led bulbs. Which I replaced later. And the deal doesn't include fixing any holes they have to make in the ceiling for the wiring."

"I got a couple of estimates for the work I wanted. Ricardo's price was in line with everyone else. However, I felt Ricardo was honest and he explained what he was going to do. He also didn't mind me contacting him about questions beforehand. What sealed the deal for me was that when I mentioned that I would require work to be permitted, he didn't hesitate at all. He knew the ins and outs of what the city inspector would require to pass inspection. Other service providers said a permit wasn't needed for the work, but that's completely false in my city. Sure you can save money by skipping the required permit, but I don't like taking risks over a couple of hundred dollars. If I had to put any kind of area of improvement, it would be related to estimated time to get to the job site. I figured the work would be completed in one day, which it did, but he got to my house a bit late on the first day. The day of inspection, the work passed and the city inspector literally said "the work is very clean." I no longer have flickering lights and my garage is up to code. I couldn't be happier."

"Alrick Bonner did a great job installing our fans for a reasonable price. Was polite and took time to explain things. Definittely knows his stuff.He was patient enough to wait while I went back to the store to exchange the downrod for the correct size. Tried his best to install the family room fan without cutting my ceiling but did the patch up himself so I did not have to worry about finding another person. Did a pretty good job of patching but was not 100%. I would still recommend Alrick to family and friends."

FAQs for outdoor lighting plan and installation projects in Cerritos, CA

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.
