Will outdoor lighting bother neighbors or wildlife?

We use shielded fixtures, correct beam angles, and warm color temperatures. Turtle-friendly options are available in coastal zones where required.

Do LEDs run hot or hurt plants?

Quality LEDs run cool and, when aimed correctly, won’t stress foliage. We re-aim fixtures as plants grow to keep plants healthy and lighting balanced.

Can you retrofit my old system?

Yes—LED upgrades, new transformers, smarter controls, and cleaner wiring are all possible. We can match finishes and reuse good wiring where appropriate.

Low-voltage lighting rarely requires permits. If coastal regulations apply, we’ll advise and specify compliant fixtures and color temperatures.
