Common Questions

Lighting Knowledge, Made Clear.

What is the best color temperature for outdoor lighting?

Warm 2700K light is a common choice for residential landscape lighting and is NightOak's usual design starting point. The ideal temperature depends on the property and intended lighting effect.

How much does professional landscape lighting cost?

Pricing depends on fixture quantities, wiring distances, controls, materials, and installation conditions. Visit NightOak's pricing guide to explore preliminary budgeting information.

Can an existing lighting system be expanded?

Often, but the transformer capacity, wiring, voltage drop, and equipment compatibility should be evaluated first.

How often should landscape lighting be maintained?

NightOak offers annual maintenance options. Maintenance can include fixture cleaning, alignment, system checks, and adjustments as specified in the service agreement.
