"This is high end lighting and expensive, so keep that in mind. I suggest using them for any high end new lighting installations. Mark is also highly creative. The installation team is very good at this!"

"We found NY Landscape Lighting through Angie’s List. We had 2 other proposals for up-lighting our 200’ winding driveway. We prefer to use local businesses whenever possible and Chris’ company had excellent reviews. Chris replied promptly and gave us a clear, well documented proposal. All materials were top quality and after my many questions, it was clear Chris knew this business quite well. Pricing was competitive -not the least or most expensive. The proposal was for a 300W transformer remote smart phone app control for up-lighting 10 driveway trees and converting our driveway entry 120v post lights to low voltage LEDs. His crew of 3 were extremely polite, left everything so clean - didn't look like anything was disrupted. They were very thorough in all aspects… job was completed in 1 day and next day Chris came by to get the wifi interface working with our smartphone. I will definitely use him again – we plan more work in the fall."

"Initially, they had come in to fix 50+ bulbs in complex lighting fixtures and later discovered that ballasts needed to be replaced as well. They were able to get the job done in 2 days and August also helped me with a last-minute electrical problem. They are very friendly people with great customer service. I would definitely recommend if you’re looking for reliable electricians who actually know what they’re doing!"

"Dave and his associate, Milton, were great. I hired them with the "electrician for a day" package on Angie's List, and it was worth every penny. They worked efficiently and yet took the time to answer my questions and explain things. My toddler was running around the whole time, and they were both sweet with her and patient. They used tarps to make sure no dust, etc. got on my stuff, and cleaned up as they went--I'd truly never have guessed they had been there! A few minor snafus came up, and they handled them with confidence and skill--in fact, we had made some mistakes when trying to install the family room fan, and I'm glad they were here because they were able to fix them so the installation was safe. Thanks to the deal on Angie's List, the cost ended up being much more reasonable than other quotes I had gotten (one electrician wanted almost $400 just to change three plugs to GFCI). Dave showed me the receipt for some additional parts he had had to purchase, and I appreciated the transparency. I am already planning to have them come back out for some other projects I have in the near future. I had the hardest time getting some electricians to even call me back, so I'm relieved I have some quality electricians I can call in future."

FAQs for outdoor lighting plan and installation projects in New Canaan, CT

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.
