"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."

"Brick logik was thorough in their measuring and material estimations. A heads up call as installation days shifted would have been helpful - the crew would have been able to drop the gravel load closer to the work site- but having said that-all my questions were addressed and ideas were thoroughly listened to, and their thoughtful, forward looking suggestions were right on target and utilized. Now I wish I had some more spaces for patios!! I love how my job turned out!"

Customers say: Quality work

"Carlo was great! His workmanship is professional and he was very patient and attentive to our wants. He installed pot lights in our living room that had no attic access. We had issues with vents and plumbing in the ceiling but we didn t want our drywall destroyed with channel holes so after thinking through all our limited options we came up with a perfect solution that Carlo was able to implement without having to cut open our ceiling. He was great!"

"Overall, I had a very positive experience with APS Pools & Spas. We decided to install a fiberglass pool for the durability when dealing with Chicago winters. The APS Team delivered what they promised with minimal surprises. They were very accommodating when we made modifications to the original plans,  or we made additional add-ons. Their team showed up daily and I didn't have to chase them to complete the project. Oscar's crew were hard working and respectful of my neighbors and the community. They always cleaned up their mess at the end of the day and were very pleasant to interact with. The APS Team did a great job in making our pool dreams a reality. "

"Landscape Illumination installed landscape lighting for our home and at the same time installed year around holiday LED lights around our roofline. Customer service is great - we had a strand of LED lights act up right after installation and they were right out to replace the strand. Our landscape lighting works and looks great every night but I waited an entire year to write a review to make sure our holiday lighting worked fine this year when I turned them back on - I'm happy to say that every LED light is still working great and I changed them to ORANGE for Halloween. thanks again to the team at Landscape Illumination - landscape lighting and permanent holiday lighting was worth every penny!"

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