Outdoor Lighting Repair
Restored With Care.
Lights flickering? Entire sections out? Transformer stopped working? NightOak diagnoses and repairs residential low-voltage landscape lighting systems throughout Richmond, Midlothian, and Central Virginia.
When Your Lights Stop Working,
We Find Out Why.
A failed landscape light isn't always a failed fixture. Damaged underground wiring, corroded connections, transformer issues, and malfunctioning controls can all produce similar symptoms.
NightOak evaluates the system before recommending repairs. We service many existing low-voltage landscape lighting systems, including installations completed by other contractors.
Our goal is to identify the cause, explain the available options, and help restore reliable, attractive outdoor illumination.
What's Wrong With
Your Outdoor Lighting?
Select the symptoms you're experiencing. We'll explain some possible causes, safe preliminary checks, and what a NightOak technician may investigate.

System-Wide Outage
This educational tool cannot diagnose a system remotely. Similar symptoms may have different causes, and some failures require testing with professional equipment. Do not open transformers, handle electrical connections, or attempt electrical repairs based on these results.
Common Lighting Problems.
Professional Solutions.
Damaged Wiring
Landscape activity, aging insulation, and accidental cuts can interrupt low-voltage circuits.
Failed Connections
Loose, corroded, or unsuitable connections can cause intermittent lighting and outages.
Transformer Problems
We assess low-voltage transformers, system loads, and related components before recommending repair or replacement.
Flickering LED Fixtures
We investigate electrical supply, connection integrity, and fixture or LED module compatibility.
Timers & Smart Controls
Incorrect schedules, lost connectivity, and control failures can prevent a working system from operating as expected.
Fixture Replacement
We evaluate damaged or deteriorated fixtures and discuss appropriate replacements or system upgrades.
A Small Connection.
A Big Difference.
Some outdoor lighting problems begin where you can't see them—at buried or exposed wiring connections.
Not Every Connection Is Built for the Outdoors.
Electrical tape alone does not make a connection suitable for burial or prolonged exposure to moisture. Improperly protected splices can become failure points.
Connections Selected for the Conditions.
NightOak uses appropriately rated connection methods and protective components based on the installation environment and manufacturer instructions.
Sometimes the Problem
Isn't the Light.
When an entire lighting system stops operating, the cause may be related to its transformer, controls, power supply, or connected wiring.
Our assessment may include checking transformer output, evaluating load conditions, reviewing timer settings, and investigating affected circuits.
We explain whether a targeted repair, replacement component, or broader system update makes the most sense.

Bring Your Existing System
Back to Life.
You don't always need to replace an entire landscape lighting system because a few lights stop working.
NightOak evaluates existing systems to identify repairable issues and opportunities to improve reliability. When equipment is outdated or incompatible, we'll explain the options for upgrading.
We can also discuss fixture repositioning, LED replacements, controls, and maintenance where appropriate.

Answers Before
Your Service Visit.
Why did my landscape lights suddenly stop working?
Possible causes include interrupted power, control settings, a failed transformer, damaged wiring, or a system protection device. A professional inspection can help isolate the fault.
Why are only some of my outdoor lights working?
A failed fixture, damaged cable, or poor connection can affect part of a lighting system. The actual cause depends on how the system is wired.
Can NightOak repair lighting installed by another company?
Yes. We service many existing low-voltage landscape lighting systems installed by other contractors, subject to system condition and component availability.
Can a damaged underground lighting wire be repaired?
Often, yes. The damaged section must be located and evaluated. Appropriate repair methods depend on cable condition, accessibility, and the installation environment.
Why do my landscape lights flicker?
Flickering may be caused by loose connections, voltage problems, failing LED components, incompatible controls, or other electrical issues. Testing is needed to identify the cause.
Do you repair landscape lighting transformers?
We troubleshoot low-voltage transformers and related system components. Depending on the fault and equipment, replacement may be more appropriate than repair.
How much does an outdoor lighting service visit cost?
NightOak's standard service trip charge is $150, with technical labor typically billed at $125 per hour. Materials, additional work, and other applicable charges are separate.
Does repairing my existing system come with a new two-year installation warranty?
No. NightOak's two-year installation labor warranty applies to qualifying complete new NightOak lighting systems. Repairs, replacements, modifications, and additions to existing systems do not create or renew that coverage. Applicable manufacturer warranties may still apply to eligible components. Existing qualifying coverage is not automatically canceled by later additions.
Should I repair or replace my old landscape lighting system?
That depends on the age and condition of the wiring, fixtures, transformer, controls, and available replacement components. We can help evaluate the practical options.
