I have to say that when it comes to outdoor lighting repairs, going with a landscape lighting specialty company is a must.\u00a0 When outdoor lighting is all you do, you know what can go wrong and how to find those problems when they arise.<\/p>\n

We probably get a call about once a month from someone who says that they\u2019re having problems with their Austin area outdoor lighting that just can\u2019t seem to be fixed.\u00a0 One company tried this, another company tried that; but the problem is still there.\u00a0 The frustrated homeowner may say that they just need to replace the whole thing and start over.\u00a0 \u201cNot so fast,\u201d I tell them.\u00a0 We have two technicians who are certified by the Association of Outdoor Lighting Professionals<\/a><\/span> (the only company in central Texas with certified technicians); and they really know their stuff when it comes to outdoor lighting repairs.<\/p>\n

It has been my experience that, in most cases, the problem is fairly easy to find and fix.\u00a0 It\u2019s usually a connection issue somewhere, a nicked wire, an overloaded circuit or a wire that is too small for the load that was placed on it.\u00a0 Those are the most common things we find but we\u2019ve come across a variety of other problems as well.\u00a0 We really try not to replace an entire system unless there is no other choice.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/a>

When it comes to troubleshooting problems in an outdoor lighting system we use some pretty specific tools.\u00a0 It amazes me to see how many workers out there who install lighting that don\u2019t even use a volt\/amp meter to check simple voltage and amperage readings.\u00a0 We do this on all of our systems and document those readings at the time of installation.\u00a0 If we go back to the system and take readings and they don\u2019t match up, we know that there is a problem somewhere.\u00a0 On a landscape lighting system that we didn\u2019t install, an amp reading can tell us a lot; it can single out a wire that may be overloaded or have a short circuit which can narrow our search for problems.\u00a0 Another tool we like is the wire locator which helps us trace wires so we don\u2019t have to pull up or replace wires unnecessarily.<\/p>\n

There are times when an installation company uses cheap products and then installs them poorly creating situations that could not be rectified without major expense to the owner. In that case, we may suggest replacement with a new system might be a better investment of their money.<\/p>\n

I am proud to say that 100% of the times that we have been asked to look at a troubled outdoor lighting system in the greater Austin area, we have resolved the problem or made the recommendation to the client of what it would take to restore their lighting without complete replacement.\u00a0 When we have made the repairs necessary, those repairs have endured, and the clients tend to use us for their future lighting maintenance.<\/p>\n

If you have a professionally installed outdoor lighting system that is giving you fits, and you are here in our central Texas service area, please contact us here<\/span><\/a> and we can find the best way to take care of you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
