Frequently Asked Questions

• How much does it cost to have someone install landscape lights?

  At Daven Electric Corp., we get this question a lot—and the answer depends on the size of the space, type of lighting, and the complexity of the project. Hiring a residential electrician to install landscape lighting can range from $1,500 to $4,000.

  Here’s what affects the price:

  • Number of fixtures (the more you install, the more wiring and labor required)
  • Type of fixtures (basic path lights cost less than custom accent or LED systems)
  • Lighting control systems or smart timers
  • Hardscape lighting integration needs (e.g., embedding lights into stone, brick, or deck areas)

  We always provide clear estimates and walk homeowners through all options. As a trusted residential electrical contractor, we make sure your system is installed safely, meets local code, and comes with a warranty. We also offer emergency services if needed.

• What is the average cost of installing outdoor lighting?

  The average cost to install outdoor lighting depends on the design and scale of your project. Most homeowners spend between $2,000 and $5,000 for a full installation by a licensed residential electrician. Here’s a breakdown:

  Cost factors include:

  1. Fixture selection – Basic lighting is cheaper than premium weather-resistant lighting or smart LED systems.
  2. Wiring complexity – Underground wiring or working around hardscape features adds to labor.
  3. Permit requirements – Some projects need inspection by local electrical inspectors, which we handle.

  If you’re working with a residential electrical contractor like Daven Electric Corp., you’ll get a complete scope of work upfront—no surprises. Whether you’re lighting a front yard, backyard, driveway, or patio, we tailor the design to fit your needs and budget.

• What are the different types of landscape lighting?

  Many types of landscape lighting serve both functional and decorative purposes. At Daven Electric Corp., our residential electricians work closely with homeowners and landscape contractors to choose the right options for your space.

  Common types include:

  • Pathway Lighting – For sidewalks, walkways, and garden trails.
  • Spotlights – Used to highlight trees, sculptures, or architectural elements.
  • Floodlights – Wide-angle lighting for security and visibility.
  • Accent Lighting – Focused beams for subtle highlights.
  • Deck and Patio Lighting – Built into steps, rails, or floorboards.
  • Hardscape Lighting Integration – Lights embedded in stone or concrete features.
  • Garden Lighting – Soft ambient outdoor lighting that highlights flowers, shrubs, and landscaping.

  We design and install all types using energy-efficient outdoor lighting fixtures and modern control systems, allowing you to customize your lighting and ensure long-term reliability.

• What are the different types of exterior lighting?

  Exterior lighting goes beyond aesthetics—it’s about safety, visibility, and function. As your local residential electrical contractor, Daven Electric Corp. installs a wide range of exterior lighting solutions designed to match your home’s layout and daily routines.

  Here are the main types:

  • Security and Safety Lighting – Bright, motion-activated lighting for driveways, entryways, and dark zones.
  • Flood Lighting – Broad lighting for large areas like backyards or garages.
  • Wall-Mounted Lighting – Decorative fixtures for doors, patios, and porches.
  • Landscape Lighting – Includes pathway lighting, accent lighting, and garden lighting.
  • Post Lights – Installed on fences or standalone poles.
  • Outdoor LED Lighting – Long-lasting, energy-saving, and low-maintenance.
  • Lighting Control Systems – Automate when lights turn on/off or adjust brightness levels.

  As a residential electrician, we can help you select fixtures from trusted outdoor lighting manufacturers that will provide long-term performance and style.

• How many watts do I need for outdoor landscape lighting?

  Choosing the right wattage is key to getting the desired effect without wasting energy. At Daven Electric Corp., our residential electricians recommend using low voltage landscape lighting (typically 12V) paired with LED fixtures for most residential outdoor lighting setups.

  Here’s a general guide:

  • Path lights – 3 to 15 watts (soft, directional light)
  • Spotlights – 20 to 50 watts (focused beam on specific features)
  • Floodlights – 40 to 80 watts (wide, bright coverage)
  • Accent lights – 5 to 20 watts (gentle highlights)

  Using energy-efficient outdoor lighting with modern LED tech gives you the brightness you need with much lower wattage and less heat. As a trusted residential electrical contractor, we help calculate the total system load, recommend the right transformer, and ensure your system is safe, reliable, and code-compliant.
