WHAT IT IS

What Outdoor Lighting Covers

Blue Moon Electrical handles outdoor lighting installation for homes and businesses that need real security and reliable weatherproofing. Outdoor lighting spans security floods, entry and wall lights, soffit and architectural lighting, and lighting for patios and commercial exteriors. Unlike low-voltage landscape lighting, much of it runs at line voltage on weather-rated, GFCI-protected circuits. The point of it is twofold: real safety and security after dark, and a property that still looks finished at night. Good placement does both at once — covering the approaches while avoiding glare straight into windows.
SIGNS YOU NEED IT

Reasons to Install It

Homes and businesses add outdoor lighting to remove the dark corners where intruders can hide, to keep entries and walkways safe to navigate, and to present a welcoming, cared-for property after dark. Commercial sites light their parking, entrances, and signage for both safety and visibility. If your exterior goes dark and uninviting the moment night falls, or security around the building feels thin, targeted lighting addresses both without over-lighting the entire place.

HOW IT'S DONE

How It's Installed

Electrical code draws a real line between damp-location and wet-location fixtures. A damp rating covers sheltered spots like a covered porch that get humidity but not direct rain, while a wet rating is required anywhere a fixture faces direct rain, snow, or sprinkler spray.

Using a damp-rated fixture in a wet location leads to corroded contacts and early failure. A licensed electrician matches the fixture rating to where it sits before installation.

WHAT AFFECTS COST

What Affects the Cost

Outdoor lighting jobs range from a single motion floodlight to a full architectural or commercial layout. Pricing is quoted after a free on-site assessment based on fixture count, mounting height, and circuit runs.

For replacing or adding a single exterior fixture on an existing circuit, the Light Fixture Replacement/Installation rate of $80 per fixture applies. Larger security or architectural lighting projects are quoted separately.

HOW TO CHOOSE / TYPES

Motion, Dusk-to-Dawn, or Both

Motion sensors are ideal for security spots that should light up only on activity, conserving energy while drawing the eye to movement. Dusk-to-dawn photocells suit entries and pathways that should simply stay lit all night long. Many properties sensibly use both, split by zone. The right mix depends on where safety, security, and ambiance each matter most, and a thoughtful plan assigns the correct control to each fixture rather than treating them all alike.

A fixture that only lights up when it detects movement runs for a fraction of the hours a dusk-to-dawn light does. Pairing motion control with LED lamps compounds the savings.

Outdoor Lighting Installation FAQs

Common questions about GFCI protection, weatherproofing, and controls for outdoor lighting

Q. Do outdoor outlets and lights need GFCI protection?

Exterior receptacles require GFCI protection by code, and outdoor circuits use weather-rated fixtures and sealed connections. This protects against shock in wet conditions and keeps the system reliable through the seasons.
Motion lighting suits security spots that should activate on movement; dusk-to-dawn lighting suits entries and paths that should stay lit. Many homes combine both by zone for the right balance of security and ambiance.
When wet-location-rated fixtures are used and connections are properly sealed, yes. Using the right housings for the location is what separates lighting that lasts from fixtures that fail after a season.
