Question 1

Is low voltage lighting safe for children and pets?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Professionally installed low-voltage LED systems from Lights Over Atlanta operate at a safe 12 volts, stay cool to the touch, and feature buried, weather-tight wiring. That dramatically lowers shock, burn, and trip hazards, so children, pets, and landscaping can explore the yard worry-free.

Low-voltage landscape lighting is designed with safety first. Instead of the 120-volt current that runs inside your house, the fixtures run on about 12 volts supplied by a weatherproof transformer. That voltage is similar to what you find in most toys and garden-path lights, so accidental contact cannot deliver a dangerous electric shock.

At Lights Over Atlanta, our licensed technicians take extra steps that make the system even safer for kids, pets, and plants:

Buried, direct-bury cable keeps paws and mower blades away from live conductors.
LED bulbs use less energy and never get as hot as halogen bulbs, so curious hands never touch a hot lens.
Low-profile stakes eliminate trip points and leave plenty of play space on the lawn.
Code-compliant, GFCI-protected transformers shut power off instantly if a wire is damaged.

Our residential outdoor lighting design Atlanta team tailors fixture placement so nothing interferes with playtime, yet every pathway glows with gentle, even light.

Because LEDs use low power, you can leave pathway and pool-deck lights on all evening without worrying about energy bills or burned paws. If you are upgrading an older system, our LED outdoor lighting conversion service swaps high-heat halogen lamps for cool, efficient diodes that last up to 50,000 hours.

To keep the system flawless, our Atlanta outdoor lighting maintenance plan checks every connection and cleans lenses each year.

Best of all, we offer a lifetime fixture warranty and yearly maintenance options, so your family enjoys beautiful, reliable illumination night after night.

Question 3

What types of retail properties do you serve (malls, centers, stand‑alone stores) for Christmas and accent lighting?

Accepted Answer

Lights Over Atlanta brings professional Christmas displays and year-round accent lighting to every kind of retail environment—from strip malls and open-air lifestyle centers to stand-alone boutiques, restaurants, and big-box stores. If your property sells, serves, or entertains shoppers, our design team can make it shine.

Lights Over Atlanta delivers turnkey Christmas light installation retailers love, as well as permanent accent lighting that keeps properties inviting night after night.

We serve nearly every retail footprint—including outdoor shopping centers, outlet villages and retail plazas; lifestyle centers; strip centers and mixed-use main streets; and stand-alone stores, boutiques, restaurants and big-box anchors.

Every project begins with a free design consultation where our certified team maps sight-lines, branding goals and safety needs. Using energy-smart LED fixtures, the permanent string lights Atlanta businesses want, and dramatic architectural uplights, we craft displays that boost visibility, foot traffic and curb appeal while lowering utility costs through LED outdoor lighting conversion Atlanta upgrades.

During the holidays, our commercial Christmas light installation Atlanta crew handles everything—design, installation, in-season maintenance, takedown and off-site storage—so your staff can focus on sales instead of ladders. After the season, we transition to subtle architectural and landscape lighting that highlights facades, signage and walkways year-round.

From LED conversion for a single storefront to large-scale commercial outdoor lighting Atlanta mall managers rely on, Lights Over Atlanta provides the creative design flair, licensed electrical expertise and white-glove customer care needed to keep your retail property shining brilliantly and safely in every season.

Question 4

How much does residential landscape lighting cost?

Accepted Answer

The cost of a lighting project depends on the size of the property and the difficulty to apply lighting to your home or business. Lights Over Atlanta designs each system to your home and goals, then provides a clear proposal so you can choose the look, coverage, and budget that fit.

Residential landscape lighting cost is driven by your property size, the scope of your project, and how complex it is to light it well.

The main cost factors include the number of lighting zones, fixture types (walkways, steps, trees, and façade accents), transformer and wiring layout, and obstacles like slopes, roots, or hardscape.

With Lights Over Atlanta’s Residential Accent service, you get a custom design consult, meticulous installation with completely hidden wiring, and tested fixtures with LED bulbs that carry a lifetime warranty.

Your project starts with a free phone consultation and a clear proposal. We are insured, offer financing, and you can add Lighting Maintenance to keep your landscape lighting looking its best.

Question 5

What is high bay lighting, and when does a warehouse need it?

Accepted Answer

High-bay lighting uses powerful, wide-beam fixtures mounted 20–45 feet above the floor to blanket tall interiors—warehouses, factories, gymnasiums—in bright, shadow-free light. A warehouse needs high-bay luminaires once ceiling height tops roughly 20 feet or work tasks demand consistent, glare-free visibility for safety, accuracy, and energy efficiency.

High-bay lighting is the heavyweight of industrial illumination. Mounted 20–45 feet overhead, each fixture uses reflectors or precision optics to push bright, even light to the floor, eliminating the gloomy spots that slow pickers or hide pallet labels. Modern LED high bays produce 100–150 lumens per watt, switch on instantly, and last 50,000 hours—far outclassing metal-halide lamps.

Your warehouse needs high-bay fixtures when:

Ceiling height exceeds about 20 feet or rafters are open.
Workers rely on lift trucks, scanners, or detailed inspection where clear, uniform light prevents mishaps.
Existing HID or T5 lamps create glare, shadow bands, or color shifts that hamper accuracy.
You want to cut lighting energy and maintenance costs by up to 70 percent and qualify for utility rebates.
You plan to add motion, daylight, or building-management controls for smarter operation.

Because beam angles, mounting heights, and aisle spacing all influence foot-candle levels, a professional photometric layout is essential. As an Atlanta outdoor lighting company that also handles commercial LED upgrades, Lights Over Atlanta can design a code-compliant plan and manage a turnkey retrofit. Our LED conversion specialists replace inefficient sodium or metal-halide bays with DLC-listed LED luminaires—giving your warehouse brighter, safer aisles and a healthier bottom line without interrupting your workflow.
