Security & Motion Lighting in West Hollywood

If we’re adding new wiring, boxes, or circuits, the City of West Hollywood Building and Safety Division typically requires an electrical permit and inspections. Like-for-like fixture replacements usually do not. We’ll evaluate your scope and, if needed, submit the permit, coordinate plan review (often 1–3 weeks), and schedule rough/final inspections. For condos and HOAs, we’ll also help with architectural applications and documentation before we begin work.

We specify shielded, cutoff fixtures, aim beams precisely, and recommend warm 3000K LEDs to reduce glare. We tune motion sensors for tight zones and short dwell times and use photocells to keep lights off until dusk. When appropriate, we prepare simple photometric layouts to validate spill control. This approach meets West Hollywood’s expectations for reducing light trespass while maintaining safe levels on paths, stairs, and entries.

Yes. We integrate with Lutron, Ring, Control4, and UniFi Protect, using relays or software triggers so lights respond to doorbell presses, camera motion, or schedules. For condos, we coordinate with property managers to connect to approved low-voltage networks or common-area circuits. We’ll document programming and provide app training so you can adjust scenes, timeouts, and brightness as your needs change.

We avoid intrusive penetrations and respect stucco and tile. Surface EMT conduit is routed along clean lines and paint-matched, or we use low-profile raceways to stay discreet. Weatherproof boxes and elastomeric sealants protect the envelope. We choose fixtures with warm color and classic trims that suit the architecture, while keeping optics tight for security and neighbor-friendly illumination.
