EXCELLENT Based on 84 reviews Posted on Jim StaleyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very friendly, the lights look amazing, great communication throughout the project, and the end result is stunning!Posted on Chris WagnerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've engaged quite a few contractors to fix/upgrade my newly-purchased home, and NightOak comes in at number one. Charles was transparent and hyper-responsive throughout the process, proactively providing updates on the project and even working around delays on my end. Charles also went above and beyond in an attempt to fix an issue not covered in the original estimate. The lighting looks great, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend NightOak for your next lighting project!Posted on edward leatonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Charles and his team at NightOak Outdoor Lighting did an outstanding job installing outdoor lighting on our brick house. We knew nothing about lighting design, but Charles provided excellent recommendations and happily answered all our questions. Despite the complicated logistics (drilling discrete holes and running wiring through a crawl space), the final result is extremely professional. My wife and I both love the final result and we enthusiastically recommend Charles and NightOak!Posted on Nick Johnson IITrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Sterling transformers stand out because they are:
Professional-Grade and Reliable – Built with superior circuit protection to prevent the failures common in other brands.
Precision-Engineered for Performance – Options in both 12–15V and 12–22V ensure consistent, proper voltage delivery to each fixture across your property.
UL 1838 Compliant – Guaranteeing safe, code-approved operation that avoids the risks of over- or under-powering your system.
Serviceable and Future-Ready – Designed with large angled lugs for easier connections, built-in amperage testing, and wattage options (150W vs. 300W) that give flexibility for future expansion.
Smarter Control Options – Featuring Sterling’s “It Just Works” GPS timer for simple dusk-to-dawn scheduling, while also integrating seamlessly with pro-level automation like Lutron, Control4, or Savant.
By combining NightOak’s certified design expertise with Sterling’s professional-grade transformers, we deliver outdoor lighting systems that aren’t just beautiful, but also durable, efficient, and built to last.
