From a motion light over the garage to a fully lit courtyard, our electricians design and install outdoor lighting for Ojo Caliente homes and businesses.

Outdoor lighting services

Outdoor electrical equipment in Ojo Caliente takes a beating from ultraviolet light, heat, wind-driven dust, and summer downpours. We use wet-location fixtures, weatherproof boxes, UV-resistant conduit, and GFCI protection, and we bury cable at the proper depth. Many communities here value dark skies, so we favor shielded, downward-facing fixtures.
