FAQ
Landscape Lighting FAQ for Culver City Homeowners
How much does landscape lighting cost to operate?+
LED landscape lighting is remarkably efficient. A typical system with 15-20 fixtures running 6 hours per night costs just $5-10 per month in electricity. This makes quality outdoor lighting an affordable luxury.
What is the difference between low voltage and line voltage lighting?+
Low voltage systems use a transformer to reduce standard 120V power to safe 12V. They're safer to install, more efficient, and easier to modify. Line voltage (120V) is used for larger fixtures but requires electrical permits and conduit. We typically recommend low voltage for residential landscape lighting.
How long do LED landscape lights last?+
Quality LED fixtures last 25,000-50,000 hours, that's 15-25 years of typical evening use. We use professional-grade fixtures with replaceable LED modules, so your investment is protected for decades.
Can landscape lighting be added to existing landscaping?+
Absolutely. We carefully route wiring to minimize disturbance to plants, lawn, and hardscape. Most installations cause little to no visible impact to your existing landscape, and any disturbed areas recover quickly.
Do you offer smart home integration?+
Yes. Our premium systems integrate with popular smart home platforms like Google Home, Amazon Alexa, and Apple HomeKit. Control your lights by voice, create schedules, and adjust scenes from anywhere using your phone.
What maintenance does landscape lighting require?+
LED landscape lighting requires minimal maintenance. We recommend an annual check to clean lenses, adjust fixtures that may have shifted, trim vegetation blocking lights, and verify timer settings. We offer maintenance packages for worry-free operation.
