Converting an outdoor lighting system with LED lamps can recoup its cost in just two years! We are able to retrofit your system using your existing fixtures but replacing your current lamps with LED lamps. Did you know at current electricity pricing you pay as much as $90 per year per Mercury Vapor fixture in electricity more than you would with our new retrofit LED’s?
Outdoor lighting systems need to be inspected and serviced at least twice a year to remain in good condition. We offer maintenance agreements that provide bi annual 16 point service and inspection of your entire system. Included in this service is a pest preventive application for all your fixtures and components which we highly recommend.

Here at the Landscape Lighting Guru we see a lot of trash. Most of it is in the form of cardboard that new fixtures and spools of wire come in. But a lot of it is in the form of old fixtures and old wiring that has been removed to make room for new projects. There is really no reason wiring should ever go bad,
We recently designed custom lanterns for a client using fish baskets. The baskets were retrofitted to run 120 degree warm Low Voltage LED lamps for all weather safety. The lanterns hang in this beautiful oak tree casting the most amazing shadow's on the ground and on the tree as they sway in the breeze. Do you have a custom lamp idea?

We recently had the opportunity to light up this irresistible outdoor living space for a client. We love how the tranquil paths lead you to two distinct areas - one perfect for cooking and dining and the other to fun in the sun.
