What's Included in Our Exterior Lighting Service

Every project begins with a walkthrough to understand your goals—whether you want to highlight garden features, improve front-door visibility, or create a warm ambiance for outdoor entertaining. The electrician recommends fixture types, placement, and control options like timers, photocells, or smart switches that automate operation.

Installation includes running conduit underground or along soffits and walls, mounting fixtures securely, and connecting everything to a dedicated circuit or existing outdoor power. Melton Electric uses weather-rated fixtures and clean conduit work designed for Western NY climate, ensuring connections stay dry and protected through snow, ice, and summer storms.

Final testing verifies every fixture illuminates as intended, and the team provides guidance on bulb replacement, seasonal adjustments, and maintaining your system. The result is outdoor lighting that elevates your home's appearance and makes your property safer and more enjoyable after dark.

What to Expect When You Book

Outdoor lighting involves careful planning around power sources, fixture types, and seasonal weather. These answers cover the most common questions from Hamburg homeowners.

What's the difference between low-voltage and line-voltage lighting?
Low-voltage systems use a transformer to step down to 12 volts and are ideal for landscape and path lighting. Line-voltage runs at 120 volts and is better for security, flood, and patio lights.

Can you add lighting to an existing landscape?
Yes. We can retrofit lighting into gardens, walkways, and patios by running new circuits or tapping into existing outdoor outlets. Trenching is minimal and restored cleanly.

How deep do you bury the wiring?
We bury low-voltage wire six inches deep and line-voltage conduit 18 inches deep to meet code and protect against frost heave common in Hamburg winters.

Can I control the lights with a timer or app?
Absolutely. We can install timers, photocells, or smart switches that let you control outdoor lights from your phone or set automatic schedules.

What kind of fixtures do you recommend?
We recommend LED fixtures with cast aluminum or brass housings and tempered glass lenses. They hold up to snow, rain, and temperature swings without fading or cracking.
