(843) 754-1671, available 24/7About Outdoor Lighting Installation
Outdoor lighting in the Lowcountry has to survive salt air, wind driven rain, and a humidity level that finds every unsealed connection. We install wet rated fixtures on wet rated boxes with proper drip loops, corrosion resistant hardware, and GFCI protection on every exterior circuit.
Beyond the hardware, good exterior lighting is layered: soft light at the door for arrival, downlight over the patio for use, and low level path light for safe movement. We plan those layers together so the house looks intentional rather than floodlit.
Exterior fixture replacement starts around 165 dollars per fixture. Full outdoor lighting projects with new circuits and controls typically run 1,500 to 6,000 dollars depending on scope.
