Outdoor lighting services

Outdoor electrical equipment in Silver City 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.

Outdoor Lighting Installation FAQs for Silver City

Is low-voltage or line-voltage lighting better?

Low-voltage is ideal for landscape and path lighting because it is safe and flexible. Line voltage suits security floods, post lights, and long runs. Many projects use both.

Can you add outdoor outlets at the same time?

Yes. Weatherproof GFCI outlets are easy to add while we are running outdoor circuits.

Will the fixtures hold up in the Silver City sun?

We choose fixtures and conduit rated for ultraviolet exposure and wet locations so they last.
