Benefits
Supporting Your Outdoor Lighting
Great outdoor lighting blends art and engineering. We start by listening—how you use your yard, where guests enter, what you want to highlight—and then translate that into a plan that’s efficient, code-compliant, and beautiful after dark. Our licensed electricians handle transformer and circuit planning, careful trenching around irrigation, and flawless fixture placement. You get a clean, durable system that’s easy to control from a timer or app.
What We Offer
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit for low-voltage landscape lighting in Culver City?+
Often, low-voltage fixture installs alone don’t need a permit. However, if we add a new dedicated exterior circuit, hardwire a transformer, or upgrade your panel, a permit from the Culver City Building and Safety Division is required. We evaluate your scope during consultation and handle any permits and inspections for you.
How long does a typical Culver City project take?+
Most installations take 2–5 days depending on property size, number of fixtures, and trenching needs. If permits are required for new circuits, allow 1–3 weeks for city review and inspection scheduling. We provide a clear timeline up front and coordinate around your schedule and any HOA windows.
Will the lighting bother my neighbors on smaller Culver City lots?+
We use shielded, dark-sky-friendly fixtures, warm 2700K LEDs, and precise aiming to keep light on your property. We also employ narrow beam spreads for tall trees and glare guards near property lines. Nighttime focusing ensures there’s no light spill onto neighboring windows.
Can you integrate smart controls I can manage from my phone?+
Yes. We install astronomic timers and Wi‑Fi controllers compatible with popular apps, enabling scenes, schedules, and remote access. You can set weekday and weekend routines, vacation modes, and sunrise/sunset triggers without touching a switch.
How do you protect wiring and fixtures from moisture and corrosion?+
We use direct-burial copper cable, gel-filled heat-shrink connectors, stainless or brass fixtures, and weatherproof enclosures. Transformers include surge protection and are installed with drip loops and sealed penetrations. These measures resist marine layer moisture and extend system life.
