Path lights, uplights on the palms, soffit and security floods, dock and patio lighting, all on timers or photocells and wired for Florida rain. Laid out with you at dusk so it lights the yard you actually use.
A starter set with a transformer, a timer and a handful of fixtures sits at the low end. A full yard with several zones, long underground runs and dock or pool-deck lighting is the top. Single fixtures and floods are priced per light.
If two or more of these describe your house, it is worth a free estimate. If none of them do, you probably do not need us yet — and we would rather tell you that now.
Most yards need a little of each. Here is what each one is for.
Low, soft light along the walk, drive edge and steps. Spaced so you see the ground, not a runway.
Uplights on palms and oaks, wall washes on the front of the house. This is the part people notice from the street.
Bright line-voltage floods on the corners, driveway and back yard, on a photocell or motion sensor.
Wet-rated fixtures, sealed connectors and timers that keep time through an outage.
The biggest driver. Per-light cost drops as the count goes up.
Long runs across the yard or under a driveway take more wire, conduit and digging.
Path and accent lights are usually low-voltage; floods and soffits are line-voltage.
Photocell, timer, motion or smart control, and how many zones.
Two-story soffits and tall palms need ladders or a lift.
Nobody else in this market publishes ranges, which is exactly why we do. You will get an exact number at the estimate — this is so you know whether to bother calling.
We price match a current written quote or receipt from another licensed contractor. Military, first responders and teachers get 5% off when they book — just say so, no coupon to find.
You can start small and add zones later if we plan the transformer for it.
A walk around the yard at night tells you most of this.
Walks, steps, side yards, the dock.
Palms, oaks, the front of the house.
And whether they are GFCI protected.
Roughly where they run, so we dig around them.
Some limit fixture style or brightness.
Most people's worry is not the price, it is not knowing what is about to happen in their house. So here it is.
"Victor, my tech, was professional, efficient, pleasant and informative. … He went out of his way to do the job correctly."
"Keylin did his best to limit any interruptions to power - honestly was surprised at how little he needed to turn off the power."
"After getting the run around from other electricians I came across In Phase. Wish I found them first."
"Unlike some of their competitors, they don't try to up-sell products that aren't strictly necessary."
Parking lots, monument signs, entrance features and common areas for businesses and HOAs, on timers or photocells, with permits handled.
Adding a new outdoor circuit or outlet is permitted work in Central Florida; a low-voltage system plugged into an existing GFCI outlet generally is not. We tell you which applies at the estimate and file it when it is needed.
It surfaces at resale, in an insurance claim, and in an inspection you did not schedule.
If a bid is dramatically under ours, ask whether the permit is included. Usually that is the difference.
Filed, scheduled, and met. Customers thank our office by name in reviews for exactly this.
Most path and accent lighting is low-voltage: a transformer plugs into a GFCI outlet and safer 12-volt wire runs to the fixtures. Security floods and soffit lights are usually line-voltage. Many yards use both, and we wire each the right way.
Low-voltage cable is buried shallow along beds. Line-voltage runs go in conduit at the depth code requires. Either way nothing is left lying on the grass.
Yes. A photocell turns them on at dusk, a timer turns them off when you choose, and an astronomic or smart timer follows sunset through the year.
Fixtures, connectors and boxes must be rated for wet locations, and every outdoor outlet needs GFCI protection. Most landscape lights that fail early used indoor-grade connectors.
Often. Dead runs are usually a corroded splice, a failed transformer or a tripped GFCI. We find it at our service rate and tell you whether a repair or a new system makes more sense.
Yes. Lighting near water has extra code rules on GFCI protection and distance, and we follow them. Pool and spa circuits themselves are covered on our pool and hot tub page.
That is our Govee permanent lighting service, a separate page with its own pricing.
One year on parts and labor we supply, plus the manufacturer warranty on fixtures and transformers.
Free estimate. If you do not need the work, we will tell you — that is the whole reason people come back to us.
