FAQs
What types of outdoor lighting upgrades do you offer in Bean Station?
We design and install complete LED conversions, landscape accent lighting, pathway and security lights, flood-lighting for barns or commercial yards, and decorative fixtures for patios and decks. Services include fixture selection, low-voltage transformer sizing, new circuit runs, retrofitting of existing housings, and the addition of smart controls or motion sensors to any system.
How can switching to LED fixtures lower my energy bills?
Modern LED lamps use up to 80 % less electricity than incandescent or halogen bulbs while delivering equal or greater brightness. They also generate less heat, which eliminates wasted energy, and their average life span of 25,000–50,000 hours means you replace bulbs far less often. Customers in Bean Station typically see a 30-50 % reduction on the outdoor-lighting portion of their monthly electric bill after an LED upgrade.
Is a permit or inspection required for outdoor lighting projects in Bean Station, TN?
Most low-voltage landscape lighting under 50 volts does not require a building permit. However, any new 120-volt circuitry, added outdoor receptacles, or work inside the main electrical panel must be performed by a licensed electrician and inspected by the Grainger County Building & Codes Department. We handle all permit paperwork, schedule the inspection, and ensure the installation meets the latest National Electrical Code (NEC) and local amendments.
Will my existing wiring and transformer support upgraded fixtures?
Before starting, we perform a load calculation on your current transformer and inspect all outdoor cable runs for insulation damage or voltage drop. If the wiring is undersized or corroded, we will recommend running new UF-rated cable or upgrading to a higher-capacity, multi-tap transformer to guarantee even brightness across the system and safe operation.
How long does a typical outdoor lighting upgrade take from start to finish?
Most residential projects (up to 25 fixtures) are completed in one day: morning layout and trenching, afternoon fixture placement, and evening aiming and photo-testing. Larger estates or commercial sites may take 2–4 days depending on terrain, number of zones, and any required concrete coring or lift work. We provide a precise schedule during the proposal phase and keep you updated daily until the final nighttime walkthrough.
Do you offer maintenance or warranty coverage after installation?
Yes. All fixtures and transformers carry a manufacturer warranty of 5–15 years, and our labor is guaranteed for two years. We also offer optional annual maintenance plans that include lens cleaning, fixture re-aiming, seasonal timer adjustments, plant overgrowth trimming, and rapid replacement of any failed lamps or photocells to keep your lighting system performing at its best.
