Questions, answered
Outdoor lighting FAQ.
What Charlotte area homeowners ask before lighting their home: the design visit, install time, weather, and how the lights are controlled.
How much does outdoor lighting cost?
It depends on the size of your property, how many fixtures you want, and the look you're going for. The best way to get an accurate number is a free on-site design visit. We'll walk your property, listen to what you want, and give you a clear quote the same day.
Do you offer free estimates?
Yes. We come out to your home, look at the property at night, and design a custom lighting plan completely free. There's no obligation and no pressure.
How long does installation take?
Most installs take a day or two. Larger or more complex properties may take a bit longer, but we'll always let you know the timeline up front.
Are your lights energy efficient?
Yes. We install low voltage LED systems that use very little electricity and are built to last for years.
Will the lights hold up to the weather?
Yes. We use weatherproof cast brass and aluminum fixtures built for the weather, chosen to handle heat, humidity and storms.
What areas do you serve?
We serve the Charlotte area: Charlotte, Belmont, McAdenville, Gastonia, Pineville, Matthews, Mint Hill and Weddington in North Carolina, and Rock Hill, Fort Mill, Tega Cay, Lake Wylie, Clover and Baxter Village in South Carolina.
Can I control the lights from my phone?
Yes. FX Luminaire's Luxor controller lets you run zones, dimming and color from a phone app. FX Luminaire is made by Hunter Industries, the same company behind the Hydrawise sprinkler controllers we install.
What warranty comes with the lights?
Alliance solid brass fixtures with a lifetime warranty on the fixture bodies and 10 years on the LEDs. FX Luminaire systems carry a 10-year manufacturer warranty. These are the manufacturers' warranties on the parts.
Do you do repairs or take over existing systems?
We do. If you have an existing low voltage system that needs repair, expansion, or a fixture upgrade, we can help with that too.
