"Rich promptly responded to my request for an estimate.  He was very helpful in providing recommendations for the best lighting in the kitchen.  We asked about some additional lighting options for the room, which would have resulted in more work (and money) for Rich but he pointed out how our idea might not be best for the space.  His crew arrived promptly, were very professional, and did a great job."

"We have a 3 storey house and the team at Brite Idea came out and put up the lights on the house. They had to come out a second day with a longer ladder to finish up but the end job was worth the wait. We did the lights around the bushes which balanced the others beautifully. We agreed to a 3 year contract which suits us since we love having the house lit up for the holidays. I'm sure we'll continue as long as we live here."

"The owner Wes is very responsible and thorough. His very courteous team installed 2 ceiling fans and a chandelier in rooms where there were no fixtures. So, they had to fish for the electrical source and cut into drywall. They cleaned up, had a good drywall repair person. Wes even followed up and located a longer chain for my chandelier which was too short coming down from the ceiling and came back to make this adjustment and did not charge additional. I would definitely hire him again. The only issue we had was arrival time...they travelled to Glenmoore all the way from Boothwyn and sometimes we were waiting a bit for them to arrive."

"They did a great job. They were courteous, professional, and accommodating when dealing with my neighbor who was nervous about where they might pile the snow. At $50 it was a bargain for me not to have to drive a good distance just to clear my drive and walkway.

"Fast prompt service. I would recommend Bill Taylor to anyone who needed this type of work. He did a great job installing the TV above the fireplace and when he was done, cleaned up the entire area. You can use me as a recommendation any time you want to."

"I had four different companies come out and give me an estimate on outdoor landscape spotlighting. I ended up hiring 1st Call Because of their knowledge and expertise! They installed my landscape lighting with a timer and exceeded my expectationsâ ¦.. 10 spotlights were installed in all, and my home looks absolutely beautiful each and every night! At first I was concerned because they were using low-voltage LED lighting but what I learned was low-voltage lighting doesnâ t mean the light canâ t be bright for these guys emulated a 60 W bulb in each spot light . I cannot say enough good things about this company, I am so happy with my Lighting!"

FAQs for outdoor lighting plan and installation projects in Upper Darby, PA

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.
