Outdoor Lighting Installation | Site Electric Services

Outdoor Lighting Installation in Vallejo, Napa, and Surrounding Areas

Well-planned outdoor lighting improves safety, extends how you use your yard in the evening, and makes a home more welcoming after dark. At Site Electric Services, we install landscape, pathway, and security lighting with weatherproof wiring built to last outdoors.

We proudly serve Vallejo, Benicia, Napa, Fairfield, Concord, Martinez, and surrounding areas with expert-level service that's built on experience, honesty, and an unmatched reputation for quality.

What's the difference between low-voltage and line-voltage outdoor lighting?

Low-voltage lighting runs on a transformer that steps household power down to a safer 12V, making it easier to install and safer around wet landscaping. Line-voltage lighting runs at full household voltage and is typically used for larger fixtures like floodlights, or where more consistent brightness over long distances is needed.

What Does Outdoor Lighting Installation Involve?

Outdoor lighting installation covers everything from low-voltage landscape lighting to full line-voltage security and pathway fixtures, all wired with weatherproof connections and buried or protected cable runs. Placement, fixture type, and circuit design depend on what you're lighting — a walkway, a patio, architectural features, or the perimeter of the property.

We also make sure outdoor circuits are properly GFCI-protected and switched or controlled the way you want, whether that's a simple switch, a timer, or smart controls.

Signs You Could Use Outdoor Lighting

  • A dark walkway, driveway, or entry that needs better visibility
  • Wanting to highlight landscaping or architectural features at night
  • An existing outdoor outlet with no GFCI protection
  • Extending patio or deck use into the evening
  • Security concerns around a dark side yard or backyard
  • Existing outdoor lighting that's failing or improperly wired
  • Planning a landscaping project that includes lighting
  • Wanting timer or smart control for exterior lights

Our Proven Installation Process

Outdoor Wiring Needs to Be Done Right

Exterior electrical connections face rain, irrigation, and temperature swings that indoor wiring never sees — improperly sealed connections are a common source of nuisance GFCI trips and, eventually, shock hazards.

Common Questions

Is low-voltage or line-voltage lighting better for my yard?

Low-voltage is the right fit for most residential landscape and pathway lighting — it's safer, more flexible to install, and less expensive to run. Line-voltage makes more sense for security floodlights or lighting that needs to cover a lot of distance without dimming.

How deep does outdoor wiring need to be buried?

Burial depth depends on the type of wiring and whether it's protected in conduit — direct-burial cable typically needs to go deeper than cable run through conduit. We follow code requirements for whichever method fits your yard.

Can outdoor lighting go on an existing circuit, or does it need its own?

Small low-voltage lighting projects can often share an existing outdoor circuit. Larger installations, or anything line-voltage, usually get a dedicated circuit so they don't overload what's already there.

Can outdoor lighting be put on a timer or smart control?

Yes — timers, photocells (dusk-to-dawn sensors), and smart/app-based controls are all common additions, so your lighting comes on automatically without you thinking about it.

How much does outdoor lighting installation typically cost?

Installation typically runs approximately $75 per fixture, with materials provided by the homeowner and trenching handled by others.
