Question 1

Why is Lights Over Atlanta the best outdoor lighting company for me?

Accepted Answer

Lights Over Atlanta brings 30+ years of industry know-how, designers trained in the Gestalt Principles of Design, insured crews, and a lifetime warranty on fixtures, wiring, and transformers. Our 5-star reputation across Google and Facebook reflects the kind of meticulous, design-first work most general electricians and handymen are not equipped to deliver. From your first consultation to ongoing maintenance, every step is built around the standards that make us Atlanta's most trusted outdoor lighting company.

Choosing the right outdoor lighting company is part craftsmanship, part design judgment, and part long-term reliability, and Lights Over Atlanta is built to deliver on all three.

Our team brings more than 30 years of combined experience in outdoor landscape and exterior lighting, with continued education in the latest LED technology, color-changing systems, and energy-smart fixture design. Every project follows the Gestalt Principles of Design, so your lighting is layered with intention rather than scattered across the property.

The products we install are built to last. Our fixtures, wiring, professional-grade LED bulbs, and transformers are tested for the long haul. Fixtures, wiring, and transformers carry a lifetime warranty. LED Bulbs come with a five-year warranty. That kind of confidence in our materials is why we can stand behind every system we design and install.

The team behind the work matters just as much as the work itself. Our 5-star ratings on Google and Facebook are a direct reflection of how we treat customers, both during installation and long after the lights are on.

If you want a lighting partner that takes design, safety, and follow-through as seriously as you do, we would love to work with you. Give us a call at (470) 870-0606 or request a free quote to get started.

Question 2

Do you offer smart controls or app-based systems so we can adjust schedules, dimming levels, and colors for our outdoor lighting from our phones?

Accepted Answer

We don’t use phone-connected control systems for our outdoor lighting, but we do provide smart-style convenience with programmable timers and easy-to-use remote controls for scheduling, dimming, and color changes.

We don’t tie your outdoor lighting into a phone-based or connected control system. Instead, we focus on giving you the same kind of flexibility and convenience through reliable, purpose-built controls: programmable timers and dedicated remotes. This approach keeps things simple, consistent, and easy for every member of the household or team to use.

Our timers let you automate your lighting schedule so the system turns on and off exactly when you want. You can set evening and overnight schedules, match your lights to typical usage patterns, and avoid the hassle of manually switching things on every night. Once it’s set, your lighting quietly runs in the background, keeping your property beautifully illuminated and energy-conscious.

For systems that support dimming or color-changing, we add intuitive remote controls. With the push of a button, you can brighten or soften the lighting, switch between warm and cool looks, or select different colors and scenes for holidays and special occasions. There’s no need for passwords, software updates, or worrying about who has access—just a straightforward, dedicated control that always works the same way.

If you’d like flexible control with timers and remotes tailored to your property, we’d be happy to design a custom outdoor lighting solution for you. Schedule a complimentary quote today or explore our color-changing light solutions to see how effortless outdoor brilliance can be.

Question 3

What does a typical community entrance or boulevard lighting project cost, and how do you help HOAs phase the work within a fixed annual budget?

Accepted Answer

There isn’t a “typical” price for community entrance or boulevard lighting because every property is custom. Once we know more about your layout and vision, our team will build a custom quote tailored just for you.

Community entrance and boulevard lighting is always priced on a project-by-project basis. Instead of selling preset packages, we look at your specific entrances, medians, and boulevards, then design a custom plan that fits both your aesthetic goals and your budget. Once we understand your layout and priorities, we can usually provide a tailored proposal and quote very quickly.

Several factors can affect the scope, complexity, and overall cost:

Size and layout of the community – Long boulevards, multiple entrances, and large medians require more fixtures, wiring, and labor than a single, compact entry.
Number and type of features – Monument signs, columns, walls, trees, roundabouts, and landscaped islands all add design and installation time.
Desired look and performance – Classic, even illumination is simpler than layered effects, focal lighting on trees and architecture, and precise uniformity standards.
Existing infrastructure – Available power, conduit, and any usable fixtures can influence how much needs to be built from scratch.

Question 4

How much does professional Christmas lighting typically cost for a two-story home with a long driveway in north Atlanta?

Accepted Answer

There isn’t one “typical” price, even for a two-story home with a long driveway in North Atlanta, because Lights Over Atlanta designs every Christmas display from scratch—but they can give you a custom quote in just a few minutes once they review your home and goals.

Professional Christmas lighting for a two-story home with a long driveway is always priced case-by-case because Lights Over Atlanta builds a custom design for every property rather than using one-size-fits-all packages. Their team looks at your home’s layout, listens to the look you want, and then creates a tailored proposal—design, materials, installation, maintenance, and takedown included—with a custom quote that only takes a few minutes once they’ve seen the property or photos.

Several factors can change the scope and final cost:

House size and architecture – A simple roofline is faster to outline than a home with multiple peaks, dormers, and tall gables, which require more lights, clips, and ladder or lift work.
Areas you want lit – Just the roof and gutters, or also ground outlines, pathways, and the full length of your driveway framed with stake lights or wrapped trees and shrubs.
Landscape and greenery – Wrapping large trees and bushes or adding wreaths, garlands, swags, topiaries, and other greenery accents increases materials and installation time.
Power and integration – How easily they can access power and whether you’re combining Christmas lighting with other architectural or landscape lighting services can also influence complexity.

Because of these variables, the most accurate way to know your cost is to request a quick, no-obligation custom quote from Lights Over Atlanta.

Question 5

Will LED lighting reduce maintenance in a high-ceiling warehouse compared to traditional lighting?

Accepted Answer

Yes. As an Atlanta outdoor lighting company that retrofits commercial sites with LED, we see maintenance in high-ceiling warehouses drop by up to 75%. Solid-state LEDs run 50,000-100,000 hours, resist vibration, and keep output consistent, so you climb lifts far less often than with metal-halide or fluorescent fixtures.

LED outdoor lighting conversion Atlanta experts at Lights Over Atlanta apply the same long-life, low-maintenance technology when we upgrade interior high-bay fixtures for warehouses. Traditional metal-halide or T5 fluorescent lamps last about 12,000–20,000 hours; our industrial-grade LEDs are rated 50,000–100,000 hours. At a typical 12-hour workday that means one ladder-or-lift change every 11–22 years instead of every 3.

Fewer lamp changes slash labor, lift rentals, and production downtime—often cutting maintenance budgets by 70-80%. Because LEDs run on solid-state drivers, you also eliminate separate ballast replacements, another common failure point in legacy fixtures. Light levels stay steady, so you avoid dark-spot service calls that happen when metal-halide bulbs drop to 50 percent output before they finally burn out.

As an Atlanta outdoor lighting company and licensed electrical contractor, Lights Over Atlanta can design, supply, and install high-bay LED retrofits, then back them with our comprehensive commercial maintenance program. Most clients move from quarterly bulb service to a quick annual cleaning and warranty check, freeing staff for more critical tasks. Add 50–70%t energy savings and available utility rebates, and the payback for switching to LED is usually under three years—even faster in tall, hard-to-reach spaces.

Let us help you light the ceiling once and forget about it for the next decade.
