Plan your outdoor lights for free.

You can walk through your yard, measure your roofline or fence, and get a ballpark cost for outdoor lighting before you call anyone. The site does the math for you. You tell it your measurements and what kind of lights you want. It shows you the cost if you install it yourself or hire someone. It also adjusts the price if you live near the ocean, where salt water corrodes metal faster.

The site is written for people who actually live here. Posts cover permanent lights you leave up all year versus lights you only use for holidays, how to prep your house for salt water damage, light warranties, and how to wire lights for a ranch gate that runs on solar power. No national template stuff. Photos of yards in the area, not generic stock shots.

If you want to do it yourself, there's a section for folks comfortable with small circuit boards and programmable light strips. If you just want a quote, you fill out a form and a local installer gets your info. Either way, you walk in knowing what the job should cost.
