Landscape and Outdoor Lighting · York County
Outdoor lighting here has to get through about 120 nights a year below freezing and a winter of snow piled along walks and driveways, so fixtures and shallow wire take a beating from shovels, plows and frost heave. Low-voltage systems are the usual choice for paths and planting beds; line-voltage lights on a garage or post are a different job.
Adding or altering electrical wiring needs a permit and inspection under the state code, and Pennsylvania has no statewide electrician license, so ask whether the installer pulls the permit for any line-voltage work. For low-voltage systems, ask how deep the cable goes and whether the transformer runs on a timer or photocell.
Good outdoor lighting is the kind you notice only when it's off. If a bid lights the house up like a car lot, ask for half the fixtures and see what you lose.
