Outdoor Landscape Lighting

So your backyard landscaping looks beautiful and your spending more time enjoying your property. With the right type of outdoor landscape lighting, you can enjoy your property in the evening as well. This is often the best time of day to spend time outdoors. You can create a dramatic night time outdoor living space with a budget of $2,500.00. This budget will cover: design, low voltage transformer, 10 light fixtures, bulbs, electrician, permits, installation. When starting with an outdoor lighting system that has 10 light fixtures, it is recommended that you use all 10 light fixtures to concentrate on one area. For exampl: deck, walkway, patio, landscape bed. A 24 volt outdoor lighting system can easily be expanded in the future with additional light fixtures. This usually costs $100.00 - $200.00 per light fixture, and includes installation. Many people don‘ know that outdoor lighting "service contracts" are often available. These are very reasonable, (about $75.00 - $100.00 per year), and include scheduled inspection 3 times a year of all wiring and fixtures, repair, bulb replacements, and discounted bulbs. You can expect to have between 2-3 bulbs burn out each season that you are using your outdoor lights. These contracts are nice, and dealing with your outdoor lighting is one less thing to worry about. And of course, like anything else that is outdoors all the time, there will be wear and damage to various light fixtures on your property. You should definitely work with a company in Bergen County, New Jersey that specializes in outdoor landscape lighting design, installation, and repair. A lot of landscapers over charge for outdoor lighting installation. And a regular electrician is the most expensive. Even though a licensed electrician is required in Bergen County New Jersey to install the low voltage transformer and connect any required GFI outlets, all outdoor lighting companies have licensed electricians they use for this part of the job. 2
