"Illuminators is a great company for your outdoor lighting needs. They installed lights for me several years ago. They performed routine maintenance to keep the lights in good working order and troubleshot another issue for me. Always very professional and responsive."

"Mike & his team were awesome to work with. They were quick efficient and cost effective. They surpassed my expectations and I’m happy I hired them to upgrade my electric service to 200 amp, install a larger panel and run a dedicated line to my garage for a new EV charger. Mike responded to my request within minutes and came out for the estimate a few days later. "

"GF Electric did a great job for us. They were able to give us a rough estimate from a video I sent them, saving the timeout would have taken to schedule a formal quotation. Giselle schedule us in on little notice, around the hoildays. Greg and team showed up on time and we talked thru the job. He clarified that one element we were considering wasn't needed for code compliance or safety and saved us some money that way. They finished the job quickly (small job, about 4 hours) and left everything orderly, clean and well labeled. Great work. I will definitely hire GF in the future. "

"Hires them to install outdoor lights and they cut the electrical lines for my septic tank. As I write this review, I have sewage flooding my basement and Dan Askelson says no one can come repair their error for two weeks. Terrible installation and even worse customer service."

"Responded immediately to my call. Arrived promptly on the same day. Performed a sample act of their service on my brickwork do that I could see the expected results and decide for myself. Let me think about it overnight. My bricks are badly stained due to vine growth so it would be impossible to have them perfect. But the result was better than I expected them. It was great to see a free sample of their work before I decided. I would highly recommend Andrew and his crew."

"Tom was an incredible resource and project manager for our home backyard project. He worked with us to get the brick materials we wanted for our patio. He helped us install an area of artificial turf as well. His team worked hard and were working every day during the work week until project completed. Highly recommend Tom!"

FAQs for outdoor lighting plan and installation projects in Evanston, 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.
