Modern outdoor lighting systems are highly energy-efficient. According to our outdoor lighting contractors and This Old House, LED lights can last up to 40,000 hours (about 20 years of regular use) compared to two years for halogen bulbs. LED fixtures consume up to 80% less energy than traditional bulbs. Smart controls, timers, and motion sensors optimize usage and reduce unnecessary operation. Most systems average only $10-20 monthly in energy costs, and LED bulbs can last 50,000+ hours (15-20 years of normal use).

Regular maintenance tasks for optimal performance include annual professional inspections, periodic cleaning of fixtures, bulb replacement as needed, adjustment of timing and angles, wire and connection checks, trimming vegetation around fixtures, and system updates and repairs. Most exterior lighting installations include maintenance plans to ensure ongoing system efficiency and longevity.
