Porch lights here fade to chalk and crack. Lanais go dark once the sun sets. And the front of the house can be lit without a floodlight in the neighbor's window.
We install everything with weatherproof materials and recommend stainless fixtures and hardware where appropriate.

What florida does to Outdoor lights
Why Outdoor Fixtures Fail Here, and What Holds Up
Sun, humidity, and storms work on every outdoor light.
Heat and fading
Fixtures in full sun get hot, and plastic and painted finishes fade, chalk, and go brittle. A cracked lens or housing lets water in, and water ends a fixture's life.
Water where it doesn't belong
Wind-driven rain gets behind fixtures mounted without a proper seal, and into boxes that weren't made for outdoor use. That's when outdoor GFCIs start tripping, and sockets corrode.
- Weatherproof boxes, gaskets, and sealed penetrations.
- In-use covers on outdoor outlets, so a plugged-in cord stays covered.
Salt air near the Gulf
Closer to the coast, salt air corrodes ordinary screws and brackets. Stainless-steel hardware and stainless fixtures where they suit the house hold up better.
Where the Light goes
Entry, Lanai, and Yard: Planning the Light
Entries and walls
Front-door and garage lights, wall sconces, and address lighting. The goal is enough light to see a face and a keyhole, aimed so it doesn't glare into the street or a neighbor's window.
Patios and lanais
Ceiling fixtures, wall lights, and fans under the lanai roof, all rated for the location. A screen-enclosed lanai is still an outdoor space for moisture purposes.
Yards, paths, and the dark corners
- Security lighting: motion-sensor floods and camera-floodlight combinations.
- Landscape lighting: pathway lights, uplighting, lamp posts, and the wiring to feed them.
- Permanent holiday lighting: programmable lights mounted along the roofline all year.

How Outdoor Lighting is priced
What Outdoor Lighting Costs Depends On
We don't do upfront pricing. No job has a standard price with us: each one is tailored to the property and the work you've asked for, and priced once we've seen it.
We offer free estimates on installs, upgrades, and replacements in our service area. Estimates aren't free when the job needs troubleshooting or testing to price, falls after hours or outside our service area, needs several meetings to gather information, or is new construction or a custom remodel with multi-party walk-throughs. For most jobs, estimates arrive by email by the end of the next business day, and quotes are good for 30 days.
Custom homes and large or multi-phase projects are estimated as soon as we can, or on the timeline your project sets.
