Question 1

If we start small the first year, can we add more holiday lighting elements over time? What other elements do you offer?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. We treat your holiday lighting as a modular, growing display. We’ll store and label your first-year lights, then easily layer on new features each season—no ladders for you. Popular add-ons include roofline and gable outlines, tree and shrub wraps, wreaths, garlands, and more.

Lights Over Atlanta designs every project with future growth in mind. Our certified designers plan power capacity, timers, and attachment points so your first-year display can expand smoothly when you’re ready to go bigger. Because we use commercial-grade LED strands and plug-and-play connectors, adding extra runs or swapping colors takes hours, not days. After the holidays we carefully remove, label, and store your lights in our warehouse; the following season we simply re-install your existing pieces and integrate any upgrades you choose.

Clients often start with a classic white roofline outline, then add layers like:

Mini-lights wrapped around trees, columns, or railings
Pre-lit wreaths and garlands for doors, windows, and gates
Ground stakes outlining walkways or driveways

Whether you own a home near Atlanta or manage a retail storefront, we handle design, installation, takedown, and off-season storage—no hassles, no tangled wires. Plus, our lifetime-warranty LEDs sip energy, so even a larger second-year display adds pennies to your bill.

Question 2

Is it worth replacing high-pressure sodium (HPS) warehouse lights with LED?

Accepted Answer

For most warehouses, yes. Replacing High Pressure Sodium (HPS) high bays with LED high bay fixtures typically cuts energy use, gives instant-on brightness, and delivers more even light with fewer shadows. You also reduce lift calls and lamp changes at height, which improves uptime and safety.

Replacing HPS warehouse lights with LED is usually worth it because you get better light where work happens and you stop paying for warm-up time and frequent relamping. Older HID high bays can run hot, take time to reach full output, and fade as they age, which leads to shadows on aisles and rack faces.

Lights Over Atlanta designs Warehouse High Bay Lighting upgrades that focus on uniform brightness and glare control. We commonly use UFO round high bays for open areas and linear high bays for long aisles, conveyors, and pick paths. LEDs are instant-on, so they pair well with occupancy sensors and zone switching to cut wasted run-time without sacrificing safety.

Our Commercial LED Retrofit and Conversion process is simple: we start with a consultation to review ceiling height, rack layout, and task zones, then build a fixture and layout plan, coordinate lifts and install windows, and finish with final aiming and testing. If you want one partner for the whole site, we can also address Parking Lot Lighting, Emergency and Exit Lighting, and more to keep performance consistent.

Question 3

Is the wiring hidden?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the wiring is completely hidden. We install your lighting meticulously and professionally to make it look like it has always been there with no visible wires.

Question 4

Our front porch is stone—how do you install an exterior light fixture on stone without it looking messy or damaging the masonry?

Accepted Answer

Mount into mortar joints, use proper anchors and a weatherproof backplate, hide wiring through inconspicuous conduit, and seal holes; or hire Lights Over Atlanta—the Atlanta outdoor lighting company—to safely core-drill, mortar-patch, and position low-voltage LED fixtures so your stone façade stays pristine.

Outdoor lighting installers know the importance of respecting exteriors. We drill only in the mortar joints—not the face of the rock—using a small diamond bit and masonry anchors. This keeps the stone intact and, if you ever remove the fixture, the tiny hole can be repointed to disappear. A slim, paintable backplate or custom–cut gasket sits flush against the uneven surface, giving the fixture a clean outline while stopping water from seeping behind.

Next, low-voltage wiring is routed through the joint or tucked inside a narrow color-matched conduit that blends with the grout line. Cables run to a remote waterproof junction box, so there is no bulky electrical box on view. Finally, installers seal every entry with exterior-grade silicone and touch-up mortar, leaving nothing but crisp edges and warm light.

If you prefer a turnkey approach, Lights Over Atlanta handles the whole process. Our certified designers use LED fixtures that complement your porch, aim them for perfect accent and security, and back the work with a lifetime hardware warranty and ongoing maintenance. Your stone porch stays elegant, and you enjoy welcoming light every night.

Question 5

Do you handle both lighting design and installation, or installation only?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Lights Over Atlanta is a full-service Atlanta outdoor lighting company that provides lighting design and outdoor lighting installation in Atlanta, not install-only labor. You start with a consultation and custom plan, then our team installs, tests, and supports your system with on-call maintenance. Holiday jobs include removal and storage.

Outdoor lighting installation Atlanta projects look best when the design is done first and that is how Lights Over Atlanta works. We are not an installation-only crew. You get a complete, start-to-finish service.

For landscape lighting and architectural accents, we begin with a consultation. Our design experts learn what you want to highlight like paths, landscaping, trees, soffits, patios, and pool areas. Then we create a custom plan and proposal that fits your property and budget. As a licensed general electrical and low voltage contractor, our team handles the full installation with LED lighting and clean, hidden wiring.

For Christmas light installation, we deliver the same turnkey process. We collaborate on a custom holiday design, install it safely, provide on-call maintenance during the season, then remove and neatly store your lights for next year. See Residential Christmas Lighting or Commercial Christmas Lighting for more information.

After install, you can keep everything looking sharp with Lighting Maintenance or modernize older systems with LED Conversion. If you want one trusted partner for design, installation, and long-term care, you are in the right place.
