"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."

"Steve Graf responded to my inquiry within hours after I posted it on Angi. He was doing work in our neighborhood, and scheduled a time to meet the same day! Pleasant and professional, Steve evaluated our outdoor lighting project, offered suggestions and committed to emailing a quote the same night. His quote was clear, creative and affordable. We committed to this project right away and scheduled the install within a week. Project was perfect and exceeded our expectations! We are considering installing outdoor lighting in another area of our property and Steve is already on it! One of the best experiences with a contractor we’ve ever had! Thank you Steve and thank you Angi! "

"Everything went extremely well. Laury was great to work with. Questions directed to him were answered quickly. Installation team was very professional and courteous. Follow-up instructions for working the system through the iPhone app by Simon was also excellent. Project inspected by Village of Buffalo Grove (following installation) passed first time with no issues."

"Dane did an amazing job. He was extremely friendly, talked through options with us for exterior lighting, gave a fair price that didn’t require haggling and came out to install the lights a couple days later. I highly recommend."

"Fabian has been very good about staying in touch. Everyone knows the weather has been so difficult for landscaping this year. We had our first meeting in March . I had a specific target date and it appears all will be finished but one item out if stock until July and perhaps the sealing of the brick work based on the weather. Neither item can be blamed on the company . The teams that were here were efficient and courteous . They were very good about tidying up before leaving each day. We ended up making several changes to the plan as the landscape developed . Fabian had some creative ideas that turned out to be very attractive. I added a number of tasks as we went along and was accommodated on all of them. I ended up spending more than I intended but I added a lot after the first contract. I would hire Unique again."

"Andrew and Hunter are definitely a fantastic crew to get the job done. They power washed our patio, sidewalk, and front area with sidewalk. It looks brand new. In addition, they power washed our deck and it is beautiful again. They were efficient, and worked as if it were their own home. The patio and all of the concrete looks brand new. We will be calling them next summer to provide a fresh new look again! Thank you, Andrew and Hunter."

FAQs for outdoor lighting plan and installation projects in Highland Park, 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.
