Figure your LED lighting costs for the Coastal Bend.

If you've been thinking about adding LED trim to your house or stringing up permanent lights on the back fence, you can now sketch out what it costs and what it looks like before you talk to anyone. We built a website called Corpuslights.com with a cost calculator. You tell it how many feet of lights you want, what kind of setup, whether you want it plugged in or battery-powered. It shows you a ballpark price.

The site also answers the real questions people ask here. How do salt air and coastal wind affect outdoor lights? Can you switch between holiday mode and everyday use without rewiring? What about powering lights on a ranch property where the nearest outlet is 200 feet away. We pulled those questions from locals and from the boxes the lights come in.

When you fill out the calculator, it sends your info to local pros who do this work. No surprises. No national prices that don't match what anyone charges here.
