"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."

"We met with Jeff in April after not connecting with other contractors the year before. Loved the idea of the larger patio roof with integrated rain gutters and the price was justified. Decided to replace the flagstone patio area and pool deck with pavers and then added on the front walkway as well. Replacing the sliding glass door had always been in the plan. Broke ground right before Memorial weekend, which is when we decided to add on an additional walkway, fake grass, and mow strip. No problem except the flagstone stepping stone walkway was removed prior to our go ahead (my husband had told Jeff he needed to talk to me first). Jeff uses different crews for different parts of projects: paver crew, patio cover crew, rain gutter crew, lawn crew, door installer/handyman at the end. All the foremen of these crews speak English so it was easy to communicate with them and they were very willing to accommodate changes and listen to ideas. The only hard part is that they just show up sometimes to do X, Y, or Z. It wasn't a huge problem but would have appreciated a quick text. The project took longer than expected as Jeff refused the first door sent to him for install because it was damaged (thank you) and then it was back ordered. Meanwhile, other parts of the project were getting done. Overall, it turned out great. My husband and I love it, our friends and family love it, and it has expanded our living space as well."

"I booked three electricians to give me a quote for a new 200 amp panel plus other wiring upgrades. Two of them came out and looked around but never got back with a quote! Ariel at A.D.I. Electrical, however, not only gave me a quote the same day, but followed up with outstanding performance and customer service. This company is so professional - they send emails to remind you they are coming out, for instance. All work was done as planned and in a very timely manner. I can't recommend them highly enough!"

Friday morning, Nick and Andy arrived with their crew of professionals to start the transformation of our backyard.  Prior to Friday we had several meetings on the design and concept that we were looking for in a backyard. They worked two days and turned our backyard into a luxury resort \ Drought Tolerant which was both practical and beautiful at the same time.  I cannot praise enough how professional and courteous Nick Gasteiger and Andy Turnbull were before, during and after the customization\ transformation of our backyard.  Nick and Andy both shown willingness to make our backyard something to be proud to show and enjoy for years to come. We made several changes during the process and it did not phase them. We chose them over others as we felt we could trust them to do the job correctly the first time.  I like to commend Nick and Andy?s crew as they were professional, knowledgeable and needed no supervision during the installation.  I most highly recommend A.L.L Environmental Design \Environmental Landscaping Design to anyone that needs any landscaping done now or in the future.

"By taking under consideration that this remodeling project was done in the heart of our house, and we decided not to leave the house while the work was in progress and to live here, Be Green Remodeling (Team and supervisor) were able to demolish, design and reconstruct the kitchen with extra attention to keep the other parts of the house without any damage. The remodeling stages that was taken by them to minimize the necessary side effects of the demolition and the actual construction were very thoughtful, planned and effective. Very professional construction company."

FAQs for outdoor lighting plan and installation projects in Santa Ana, 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.
