Answers to the Most Common Questions We Hear
How much does outdoor lighting cost?
The cost of professional outdoor lighting varies based on the size of your property, number of fixtures, and design complexity. At NightOak, our projects typically start around $3,500 and go up depending on your goals. We offer customized quotes and flexible payment options—including 0% interest plans for qualified installations over $3,500.
How energy efficient are your systems?
Our systems are extremely energy-efficient thanks to advanced low-voltage LED technology. Compared to older halogen systems, you can expect up to 80% less energy use, longer bulb life, and reduced maintenance. You’ll enjoy stunning lighting without a major impact on your electric bill.
Can I install lighting myself or should I hire a pro?
While DIY kits are available, professional installation ensures safety, long-term performance, and design precision. We account for voltage drop, wire runs, transformer placement, fixture angles, and more. With NightOak, you’re investing in long-lasting beauty, functionality, and peace of mind.

Our systems require minimal maintenance, but a seasonal check-up can help keep things performing at their best. This may include cleaning lenses, adjusting fixture angles, and checking wiring connections. We also offer service plans to keep your system looking and performing like new.
What lighting technologies do you use?
We specialize in low-voltage LED systems, including options for warm white, RGBW color-changing, and smart controls via mobile apps or home automation systems. Whether you want path lighting, uplighting for trees, or subtle architectural lighting, we use only premium-grade fixtures that are made to last.
Does outdoor lighting increase home value?
