Greater Use of Outdoor Spaces
Porch, patio, deck, and outdoor kitchen lighting can make exterior areas more functional for dining, entertaining, and relaxing.
Security Support
Outdoor lighting can reduce dark areas around entrances, garages, driveways, gates, side yards, and detached buildings. It may also improve visibility for compatible security cameras.
Improved Curb Appeal
Landscape and architectural lighting can highlight trees, garden beds, stonework, columns, exterior walls, entryways, and other property features.

Low-Voltage and LED Exterior Lighting
Low-Voltage Landscape Lighting
Low-voltage lighting uses a transformer to reduce the electrical supply before powering outdoor fixtures.
It is commonly used for:
- Paths and walkways
- Gardens and trees
- Retaining walls
- Architectural accents
- Outdoor living areas
A complete system may include a transformer, cable, fixtures, connectors, timers, photocells, and smart controls.
LED Exterior Lighting
LED exterior lighting may offer:
- Lower energy use than older lighting technologies
- Longer fixture or lamp life
- Reduced maintenance
- Immediate illumination
- Compatibility with sensors and timers
- Different brightness and beam options
The fixture must still be suitable for its location, weather exposure, electrical system, and intended coverage.
Low-Voltage vs. Line-Voltage Lighting
Feature | Low-voltage lighting | Line-voltage lighting |
Power | Reduced through a transformer | Standard electrical voltage |
Common uses | Paths, gardens and accents | Wall lights, floodlights and security fixtures |
Wiring | Low-voltage outdoor cable | Approved exterior electrical wiring |
Transformer | Required | Usually not required |
Main considerations | Cable length and transformer capacity | Circuit capacity and weather protection |
Many outdoor lighting projects combine low-voltage landscape fixtures with line-voltage entry, garage, and security lights.
Damp-Rated vs. Wet-Rated Fixtures
Damp-rated fixtures are suitable for covered outdoor locations that experience humidity or occasional moisture but are protected from direct rain.
Wet-rated fixtures are designed for uncovered areas that may be directly exposed to rain or water.
Indoor-only fixtures should not be installed outside because they may not withstand moisture, weather, or temperature changes.
Smart and Automated Outdoor Lighting
Exterior lights can operate through:
- Wall switches
- Motion sensors
- Dusk-to-dawn photocells
- Timers
- Mobile apps
- Compatible smart-home systems
Motion sensors activate when movement is detected, while photocells turn fixtures on after dark and off when daylight returns.
Available smart features depend on the fixture, switch, transformer, wireless network, and smart-home platform.

How Our Exterior Lighting Installation Process Works
1. Property Evaluation
We discuss your lighting goals and inspect entrances, walkways, driveways, patios, landscaping, garages, gates, and existing electrical access.
2. Lighting Plan
We determine the appropriate fixture types, locations, brightness, beam direction, controls, and weather ratings.
3. Electrical Review
Our electrician inspects the wiring, circuit capacity, switches, electrical boxes, and available installation routes.
4. Installation
We mount the fixtures, complete the electrical connections, install controls, and secure the required outdoor-rated boxes, covers, fittings, and hardware.
5. Testing and Adjustment
We test the fixtures, switches, sensors, timers, photocells, smart controls, circuit operation, direction, and coverage. We also adjust the lighting to reduce glare and unnecessary light spill.
How Much Does Exterior Lighting Installation Cost in Boerne?
The cost of exterior lighting installation in Boerne depends on:
- Number and type of fixtures

- New circuit requirements
- Switches and controls
- Motion sensors
- Timers and photocells
- Smart lighting equipment
- Low-voltage transformers
- Cable length and trenching

An on-site evaluation provides the most accurate project estimate.
Exterior Lighting Repair and Replacement
Schedule service when an outdoor light:
- Does not turn on
- Flickers or works intermittently
- Trips a breaker
