Lighting Shrink was developed as a solution to the emerging problem of loose, low voltage lighting connections that we found were starting to melt and burn over time. These problems occur even if the connections were initially thought to be installed tight.
 
Low voltage connections  made with wire-nuts and electrical tape become loose and melt and burn from tree roots, as surrounding plantings grow and become entangled or the trades pulling on wires making room for new plantings. Complications are also happening due to the Thermal Cycle (the fixture being turned off and on) causing expansion and contraction, as cheap connections heat and cool over time, space is being created between the strands of copper wire causing arcing. 

cOMMON ISSUES FOUND DURING OUTDOOR LIGHTING INSPECTIONS

  • Exposed wires that pose safety risks.
  • Dim or burnt-out bulbs reducing visibility.
  • Misaligned or broken fixtures affecting aesthetics and functionality.
  • Dark areas on pathways or home facade compromising security.
  • Faulty connections leading to inconsistent performance.
  • Overgrown by plant life.

Why is an Outdoor Lighting Inspection Important?

A thorough lighting inspection enhances both safety and security while improving the overall appeal of your property.

Enhanced Safety & Visibility

Poorly lit areas create tripping hazards and make it difficult to navigate pathways, steps, and driveways. Identifying these issues early prevents accidents and ensures a well-lit, welcoming environment.

Increased Security for Your Home

Dark spots around your property provide cover for intruders. A properly illuminated home deters trespassers, making your property a less attractive target.

Maximize the Lifespan of Your System

Routine inspections and maintenance help extend the life of your lighting system, preventing costly replacements and ensuring your investment remains in top condition year-round.

1. How often should I get my outdoor lighting system inspected?

We recommend scheduling a lighting inspection at least once a year to ensure all fixtures are functioning correctly, properly aligned, and free from obstructions like overgrown plants or debris. Regular inspections help maintain the longevity and performance of your system.

A professional lighting inspection includes:

  • Checking for burnt-out bulbs or flickering lights
  • Inspecting for misaligned or shifted fixtures
  • Identifying exposed or damaged wiring
  • Ensuring all transformers and timers are working correctly
  • Assessing any overgrown landscaping that may be blocking lights

Outdoor lighting systems are designed to be durable and low-maintenance, but some upkeep is necessary to keep them performing their best. Common maintenance tasks include cleaning fixtures to remove dirt and debris, replacing bulbs that have burned out, realigning fixtures that may have shifted, and inspecting the wiring for any wear or damage.

We offer comprehensive maintenance plans to ensure your system stays in top condition. Whether you need seasonal checkups, immediate repairs, or bulb replacements, our team is here to provide ongoing support so your outdoor space always looks its best.

Yes! We provide lighting inspections and maintenance services regardless of who installed your system. Whether your lights were installed by another company or are part of an older setup, we can evaluate your system and offer recommendations for improvements.
