Question 1

Can you install outdoor wall lights that are battery operated with a remote control, or do you only work with hardwired fixtures?

Accepted Answer

Lights Over Atlanta specializes in professionally hard-wired, low-voltage LED systems—not standalone battery sconces. Our fixtures tie into a weather-proof transformer so they shine every night and can be controlled by remote or timer.

At Lights Over Atlanta, every project is built around a permanent, low-voltage LED infrastructure. Because battery-operated wall lights simply can’t deliver that level of brightness, reliability, or integration, we do not install them. Instead, we give you the easy control you’re looking for in smarter ways:

Hand-held RF remotes let you dim, change colors, or switch zones on demand.
Timers can turn your landscape lighting on and off automatically.

This approach keeps wiring invisible while giving you fingertip control—no climbing ladders to replace dead batteries and no dark corners when the power fades.

If you already have aging fixtures, our LED outdoor lighting conversion team can upgrade them to the same hard-wired, remote-ready standard. The result is a worry-free system backed with our outdoor lighting maintenance plans. Partner with the top outdoor lighting company in Atlanta and enjoy remote convenience without sacrificing performance or curb-appeal brilliance.

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

Do you work on existing systems?

Accepted Answer

Lights Over Atlanta focuses its maintenance and warranty support on systems we design and install. For existing systems installed by another company, we do not take over routine maintenance, but we can evaluate the system and recommend the best path forward. In most cases, that means a redesigned or replacement system rather than patching previous work.

Lights Over Atlanta is built around a design-build-maintain model, which means we stand behind the systems we create from the ground up. For lighting we have designed and installed, we offer ongoing maintenance plans, warranty coverage, and responsive service to keep everything performing the way it should.

For systems installed by another company, our approach is different. We do not take over routine maintenance or repairs on work we did not design, because we cannot verify the quality of the materials, wiring, or fixture placement. Without that foundation, patching individual problems often leads to recurring issues and wasted money.

What we can do is evaluate your current system. If you are dealing with dim spots, flickering fixtures, outdated halogen bulbs, or problems left behind by a previous contractor, our team can walk your property, diagnose what is going on, and give you an honest recommendation. In most cases, we suggest a redesigned or full replacement system built to our standards. That gives you a clean starting point with professional-grade fixtures, proper wiring, and full warranty and maintenance coverage going forward.

For residential properties, this often means replacing an aging low voltage system with a new LED design that improves both the look and reliability of your lighting. For commercial properties, it could mean upgrading outdated parking lot poles, converting old hallway or garage fixtures to LED, or replacing a patchwork of repairs with a unified lighting plan.

If you are unsure whether your current system is worth saving or replacing, we are happy to take a look. Contact us at (470) 870-0606 to schedule an evaluation. There is no obligation, and we will give you a clear picture of your options.

Question 4

How do I use my remote for color changing lights?

Accepted Answer

Your color changing lights come with a handheld remote that lets you select colors, adjust brightness, and switch between static and dynamic lighting modes. Most settings take effect instantly with the press of a button. For a full walkthrough with step-by-step visuals, visit our color remote guide linked below.

The remote included with your color changing light system gives you full control over how your lights look on any given night. You can choose from a range of solid colors, cycle through preset color patterns, adjust brightness levels, and set your lights to fade or transition between colors automatically.

A few tips to get the most out of your remote. Make sure you have a clear line of sight to the receiver when pressing buttons, as obstructions can reduce signal range. If your lights are not responding, check that the batteries in the remote are fresh. For systems with multiple zones, each zone may respond to its own channel, so confirm you are on the correct one before adjusting.

For a complete guide with visuals and a walkthrough video, visit our color remote instruction page. If you are still having trouble after reviewing the guide, our customer care team is happy to help.

Question 5

How do you decide how many light fixtures we need?

Accepted Answer

Lights Over Atlanta decides fixture count through an on-site design consultation. Our certified designers walk your property, note architecture, plantings, paths, and dark spots, then apply Gestalt design principles and LED lumen output to layer light where it matters. The result: only the fixtures needed for beauty, safety, and budget.

We never guess at fixture counts. During your free consultation, a certified designer studies how you use the space and considers key features.

We map entryways, trees, pathways, and gathering zones, then measure beam spreads and lumen needs for each area. Next we apply our Gestalt-inspired design principles—proximity, symmetry, and continuity—to decide ideal spacing.

For example, path lights are set 8–10 feet apart so pools of light overlap, while accent uplights are positioned at different angles to sculpt the façade. Because we use lifetime-warrantied LED brass fixtures that throw more usable light, we often achieve complete coverage with fewer units than older halogen systems.

Your budget also matters. After modeling the layout, we price packages that show how many fixtures each option includes and what effect you’ll see.

Question 6

How does outdoor security lighting help protect my property?

Accepted Answer

Professionally designed outdoor security lighting floods dark corners, startles intruders, and guides family and guests safely to doors. Layered, energy-efficient LEDs from Atlanta’s leading outdoor lighting company make your home easy to monitor on camera, lower liability risks, and boost curb appeal—all without you lifting a finger.

Darkness invites trouble. A strategic outdoor security lighting plan flips the script.

Deterrence: Bright, even light wipes out shadows thieves hide in.

Surveillance: Cameras love light. Properly aimed soffit or wall packs give lenses the contrast they need for crisp nighttime video, helping police and insurance adjusters.

Safety: Illuminated paths, stairs, and pool decks cut trip-and-fall claims and let kids play longer. Hardscape step lights (400-700 lumens) reveal every tread without glare.

Comfort: Returning late feels safer when entrances glow with warm LEDs. Guests find the keyhole fast, and late-shift employees walk to cars with confidence.

Efficiency: Modern LED fixtures use up to 80% less power than old halogen lamps while lasting years longer. Pair them with timers to keep bills low.

Curb appeal: Uplights on architecture and landscape lighting Atlanta GA properties showcase façades and specimen trees, proving security can still be beautiful.

Invest in well-planned light today and enjoy peace of mind, lower liability, and a property that shines every night.

Question 7

How much energy savings can we expect if we convert an older halogen or incandescent system to LED exterior lighting?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Lights Over Atlanta now designs every new residential, commercial and holiday project with high-efficiency LED fixtures. Converting a legacy halogen or incandescent setup to our LED exterior lighting typically trims energy use by 50–80%.

Every system we install today is powered by professional-grade LEDs—no more hot, short-lived halogen or energy-hungry incandescent lights. We use LEDs because they cut power consumption by 50–80% and stay bright for 25,000+ hours.

Beyond efficiency, LEDs open design freedom: tunable color-changing uplights, low-glare path lights and slim accents that were impossible with big halogen lamps. Because LEDs run cool, lenses stay clear and ants aren’t attracted to the heat, so maintenance calls plummet.

Plus our fixtures are can be covered under our optional maintenance program for total peace of mind.

Question 8

How often should we schedule outdoor lighting maintenance like fixture cleaning, angle adjustments, and lens cleaning to keep everything looking its best?

Accepted Answer

Plan to service your outdoor lighting once a year. Those visits include fixture, lens, and bulb cleaning, angle adjustments, and quick wire checks. Call us between visits if you notice a dim bulb or storm damage so issues never linger.

Most Atlanta outdoor lighting experts, including Lights Over Atlanta, recommend a annual maintenance routine to keep every fixture performing like new.

During these visits our certified technicians:

Gently remove pollen, dust, and hard-water spots from fixtures and lenses.
Re-aim uplights, path lights, and permanent string lights so trees, facades, and walkways stay evenly lit.
Check seals, gaskets, and wire connections, replacing any worn parts under your fixture warranty.
Swap burnt bulbs and test voltage to confirm your LED system runs at peak efficiency.

This quick tune-up prevents hotspots, saves energy, and protects curb appeal—key concerns for busy homeowners seeking premium landscape lighting properties around Atlanta, GA deserve.

Our flexible annual maintenance program lets you enjoy your lights while we handle the details. We even offer on-call visits between scheduled services if a storm knocks a fixture out of place. Partner with the team that designed your system, and your outdoor lighting installation will look event-ready every night.

Question 9

I’m used to 100-watt incandescent bulbs—how many lumens will your LED landscape lights provide so I can picture how bright my yard will be?

Accepted Answer

A 100-watt incandescent throws about 1,600 lumens. Our LED landscape fixtures achieve that brightness with only 15–20 watts—or we layer several 400-800-lumen accent lights aimed at trees, walls and paths. You’ll see the same or better illumination across your yard while using roughly 80 % less energy.

Lights Over Atlanta designs every system around lumens, not watts, so you know exactly how bright each area will feel. A traditional incadecent 100-watt bulb gives off about 1,600 lumens; our LED accent fixtures reach the same brightness with only 15-20 watts, saving roughly 80 % on electricity. Depending on the effect you want, we blend several fixture types:

Path and garden lights: 100-300 lumens for a gentle glow that guides guests without glare.
Architectural uplights: 400-800 lumens each, positioned to highlight stone façades or majestic oaks.
Flood or security lights: 900-1,300 lumens to wash wide driveways, play areas, or pool decks.

Because LEDs are directional, a 500-lumen spotlight aimed at a column can look brighter than an unfocused 1,600-lumen bulb, so you gain punchy illumination without light pollution.

Already have outdated halogen fixtures? Our LED outdoor lighting conversion service swaps them for LED fixtures that match or exceed your current brightness while cutting heat and maintenance. The end result is a landscape lighting system that turns on automatically every night, showcases your home’s architecture, and keeps pathways safe—all while costing just a few dollars a year to run.

Question 10

If a spot doesn’t currently have power, how do you install a light fixture without existing wiring, and is that something you handle from start to finish?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Even if there’s no power at the spot today, our licensed team runs new wiring or low-voltage cabling, installs a weather-proof transformer, then mounts the fixture— all without you lifting a finger. We design, permit, install, and test the lighting system end-to-end.

Lights Over Atlanta – the Atlanta outdoor lighting company known for bespoke, energy-smart designs – tackles powerless areas every week.

First, our certified designers map your ideal fixture locations, then our licensed electricians bring safe, code-compliant power to each point. If necessary, we can trench or bore inconspicuous conduit so your landscaping stays pristine. For most landscape lighting Atlanta GA systems we use low-voltage LED fixtures fed by a discreet weather-sealed transformer, so energy use stays minimal and wiring can be safely hidden just a few inches below grade or around the building’s architectural features.

Once power is in place, we install light fixtures, aim beams for perfect highlights, and program any smart-controls. Our white-glove crew cleans the worksite and restores sod or mulch

Because we handle the entire process – design, permitting, electrical work, installation, and ongoing maintenance – you never juggle multiple contractors. Whether you need one hard-to-reach wall sconce or a full architectural landscape lighting Atlanta showcase, you make a single call and we deliver turn-key brilliance that’s guaranteed to perform.

Question 11

If another company installed our outdoor lights, can Lights Over Atlanta take over maintenance and make repairs?

Accepted Answer

Lights Over Atlanta does not take over maintenance or repairs for lighting systems installed by other companies, but we do offer ongoing maintenance plans and warranty options for systems we design and install.

We focus our service and support on systems we’ve designed and installed, and for those we offer ongoing maintenance plans and clear warranty options so you always know what’s covered and who to call when something needs attention.

There are several reasons we follow this policy and don’t take on projects installed by another organization:

Safety and code issues – Work by others can hide wiring problems, overloaded circuits, or code violations that we can avoid by installing the system ourselves.
Unknown product quality and age – Lower-quality or aging fixtures fail more often, and we don’t want you frustrated with repeat problems when the underlying products aren’t ours.
Warranty and manufacturer conflicts – Many products lose their warranty when a different contractor works on them, which puts you in a gray area over who should pay for repairs.
Parts and compatibility challenges – Off-brand or discontinued components are hard to source and may never perform reliably, even after repair.
Design and performance standards – We’d rather build or retrofit a system that meets our standards for brightness, balance, and durability than “patch” a layout we can’t stand behind.
Consistency of service and guarantees – By maintaining only systems we install, we can offer straightforward service plans and stand fully behind our workmanship.

If you’d like a system we can fully maintain and guarantee, contact us to schedule a design consultation and custom quote.

Question 12

If we’ve had problems with shoddy work from previous vendors, can you diagnose and correct those issues while bringing everything up to your design and safety standards?

Accepted Answer

We’re happy to evaluate problems caused by previous vendors, but instead of simply patching their work, we’ll diagnose what’s wrong and usually recommend a redesigned or replacement system that meets our design and safety standards—and that we can fully warranty and maintain.

If you’ve dealt with shoddy work from other vendors, we completely understand wanting a fresh start. We can absolutely come in, look at what you have, and clearly explain what’s going wrong and why. During that evaluation, we’ll check wiring practices, loading on circuits, fixture quality, installation methods, and overall system design so you know exactly where the weak points are.

What we don’t do is “adopt” the existing system and try to nurse it along indefinitely. Once we start working on another company’s installation, we inherit all of the hidden risks—safety issues, code violations, unknown product quality, and confusing or voided warranties. That makes it very difficult for us to stand behind the system or give you the kind of guarantees we believe you deserve.

Instead, our typical recommendation is to bring everything up to our standards through a comprehensive redesign or retrofit that we install ourselves. That might mean new fixtures, corrected wiring, improved layout, and updated controls so the system is safe, consistent, and built to perform long term.

Once the system is ours—from design through installation—we can offer ongoing maintenance plans and warranty coverage, and you have one team fully accountable for how it looks and how it works.

If you’re ready to move past patchwork fixes and get a lighting system we can truly stand behind, contact us to schedule a site evaluation and custom proposal.

Question 13

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 14

What can I do if my lights aren&#8217;t working?

Accepted Answer

Start with a few simple checks. Make sure your timer is set correctly and that no breakers have tripped. Look for any fixtures that may have been knocked out of position by landscaping, weather, or foot traffic. If the issue persists after those basic steps, give us a call and we will schedule a maintenance visit to diagnose and fix the problem.

Before calling for service, there are a few things you can check on your own:

Confirm your timer is plugged in, powered on, and set to the correct schedule.
If your area recently had a storm or power outage, the timer clock may need to be reset.
Check your breaker panel to make sure nothing has tripped, and take a quick look at the fixtures themselves to see if any have been shifted by yard work, mulching, or heavy rain.

If everything looks normal and your lights still are not performing the way they should, contact our team at (470) 870-0606 to submit a maintenance request. Most residential service calls are completed within two to seven business days, and often sooner. For commercial properties with parking lot, garage, or security lighting concerns, we can prioritize based on safety needs.

Lights Over Atlanta provides ongoing maintenance plans for systems we design and install, so your lighting stays consistent and any issues are resolved quickly.

Question 15

What does the typical project timeline look like from initial consultation to installation?

Accepted Answer

Most Atlanta outdoor lighting projects follow five smooth steps: 1) free phone consultation, 2) detailed proposal, contract and 50 % deposit, 3) scheduling and prep, 4) installation—usually scheduled within two weeks and completed in a day, 5) hand-off.

Lights Over Atlanta uses a five-step timeline that respects your schedule and delivers wow-worthy results.

1. Discovery call (Day 0). A quick phone or online chat lets you share goals, inspiration photos, and budget.

2. Proposal & contract (within 48 hours). You receive a detailed plan, fixture counts, and transparent pricing. Approve it, sign electronically, and submit a 50 % deposit to secure your spot.

3. Scheduling & prep (Week 1-2). Our team prepares fixtures, transformers, and custom-cut wire while the office handles any paperwork. Most residential landscape lighting projects are scheduled within two weeks—even in peak season.

4. Installation day (1–2 days on site). Your outdoor lighting installation crew of licensed low-voltage technicians buries wire (if necessary), sets fixtures, programs smart timers, and leaves the yard spotless.

5. Hand-off. We send instructions on how to use the system (in case you want to make any adjustments). From there, your new architectural landscape lighting system shines every night—no ladders required.

Question 16

What is an LED lighting conversion and why should I consider it?

Accepted Answer

An LED lighting conversion replaces your outdated halogen or incandescent landscape fixtures with modern, low-voltage LEDs. The upgrade slashes energy use by up to 80 percent, lengthens bulb life to decades, cuts maintenance calls, and delivers brighter, cleaner light—saving you money while making your Atlanta property look spectacular every night.

Upgrading to LEDs is more than a bulb swap; Lights Over Atlanta—the Atlanta outdoor lighting company trusted for luxury homes and businesses—reviews your transformer, wiring, and fixtures, then retrofits or replaces each with high-output LED luminaires rated for 50,000+ hours.

LEDs use less electricity, often cutting a 300-watt halogen system down to about 60 watts, so you enjoy dramatic landscape lighting neighbors admire without a spike in the power bill. Cool-running diodes and sealed housings mean no more burnt bulbs, ants, or surprise dark spots—just years of dependable glow and lower maintenance costs.

An LED outdoor lighting conversion also lifts curb appeal. LEDs give clean, consistent color—or vibrant color-changing scenes—so paths, trees, and architectural details look as good at night as they do by day.

For our color-changing bulbs, we also include a remote to dim for dinner or switch to holiday colors in seconds.

The savings are real. Up to 80 percent less energy, bulbs that can last two decades, and Lights Over Atlanta’s lifetime fixture warranty create a fast ROI. Add our annual lighting maintenance program and you’ll never climb a ladder again. Flexible financing lets you convert now and let the savings pay the note. Safer, greener, easier—LED makes your property shine.

Question 17

What is permanent outdoor lighting and how is it different from seasonal lighting?

Accepted Answer

Permanent outdoor lighting is a hard-wired, weather-proof LED system that stays in place year-round to highlight your property’s architecture, landscape, and safety zones. Seasonal lighting is temporary décor—such as Christmas roofline lights and garlands—installed for a few weeks, then professionally removed and stored. One is built to last; the other celebrates specific occasions, neither require you to lift a finger.

At Lights Over Atlanta, permanent outdoor lighting means a custom-engineered, high or low-voltage LED system hard-wired into your home or business and intended to shine every single night. Our certified designers lay out highly efficient LED uplights, pathway fixtures, and timers to deliver architectural landscape lighting Atlanta homeowners love—boosting curb appeal, safety, and property value. Because the fixtures carry a lifetime warranty, you never climb a ladder; our Atlanta outdoor lighting maintenance team provides cleaning, aiming, and replacements through simple service plans.

Seasonal lighting is different—it’s temporary décor installed for specific celebrations. Think custom Christmas light installations that go up around Thanksgiving, shine through just after New Year’s, and include everything from elegant rooflines and trees to HOA entrance garlands that make the whole community sparkle. All wiring, clips, and timers are designed for quick set-up and safe takedown, with our crew handling removal and storage once the season ends.

In short, permanent lighting is a durable architectural enhancement that lives outside year-round, while seasonal lighting is a removable accent designed purely for festive flair. Lights Over Atlanta offers turnkey design, installation, and ongoing support for both options (for both homes and businesses), so you can enjoy nightly elegance, holiday magic, or a seamless blend of the two without lifting a finger.

Question 18

Why does my outdoor lighting system need regular maintenance?

Accepted Answer

Your lighting lives outdoors 24/7, so dirt, pollen, storms, and growing roots will slowly dim bulbs, shift fixtures, or damage wiring. Quick, scheduled maintenance keeps every LED bright, protects family safety, prevents costly repairs, and upholds the lifetime warranty you receive from Lights Over Atlanta.

Outdoor fixtures live in a harsh world. Georgia’s red clay splashes on lenses. Oak pollen coats fixtures. Summer downpours flood wiring wells, and lawn crews bump path lights out of aim. Even the best LED system will lose punch if no one checks it. That is why any Atlanta outdoor lighting company worth trusting builds maintenance into the plan.

During a Lights Over Atlanta annual checkup, certified technicians inspect transformers and tighten low-voltage connections to keep your property safe. We clean each lens and adjust beam angles to restore the crisp curb-appeal you saw on day one.

Whether it’s the residential outdoor lighting installation Atlanta homeowners admire or the commercial outdoor lighting Atlanta restaurants depend on, upkeep is the key to lasting brilliance. Proactive care also saves money. Finding a nicked wire or a failing gasket early prevents corrosion that could ruin an entire run. Replacing a single LED module is far cheaper than rewiring after water damage.

Our outdoor lighting maintenance plans include service calls and lamp replacements, protecting the lifetime warranty on our LED fixtures. The result is a system that shines brighter, lasts longer, and costs less to run—leaving you free to enjoy those perfect Southern evenings without ever climbing a ladder.

Question 19

Why should I hire a dedicated lighting specialist instead of a general electrician or handyman?

Accepted Answer

A dedicated lighting specialist like Lights Over Atlanta blends artistic design with code-compliant installation, high-end LED fixtures, and lifetime service. You gain a custom lighting plan that boosts curb appeal, safety, and energy savings—benefits a general electrician or handyman simply isn’t equipped to deliver or stand behind.

Lighting is part art, part engineering. When you call a licensed Atlanta outdoor lighting company like Lights Over Atlanta, every fixture is chosen and aimed to tell a story about your property. Lights Over Atlanta’s certified designers listen to your goals, then craft a layered landscape lighting plan that highlights architecture, trees, and paths while meeting local code.

Our crews handle nothing but outdoor lighting installation Atlanta — low-voltage lines, LED fixtures, smart transformers, and even permanent string lights Atlanta residents love for pool decks. A handyman may install a fixture, but he rarely offers a lifetime warranty, annual cleaning and maintenance, or LED outdoor lighting conversion Atlanta homeowners want for energy savings.

Specialists also protect your budget. Our energy-wise LED systems cut power costs up to 80 percent compared with old halogen setups. Need holiday sparkle? Our turnkey Christmas light installation service keeps you off ladders and your roof drip-edge intact.

Finally, artistry matters. We apply professional design software and Gestalt principles to eliminate glare, dark spots, and that runway look seen in DIY jobs. The result is a secure, magazine-worthy property your family and your guests will enjoy every night.

Question 20

Will LED lighting be brighter or harsher than my current lights?

Accepted Answer

Not at all—we use LED fixtures that can be dialed to the same or softer glow than your current bulbs. Our designers match color temperature, wattage and beam spread so you enjoy crisp, comfortable light without the harsh glare.

Lights Over Atlanta uses next-generation LED fixtures that are bright when you need them, but never harsher. Brightness and mood depend on three elements our certified designers control:

1. Color temperature – Most residential jobs use warm 2,700–3,000 K lamps that mimic incandescent glow. Cooler 4,000 K options are reserved for driveways or security lighting. See our warm-vs-cool LED guide to learn more.

2. Lumen output – LEDs decouple wattage from brightness, so we choose the precise lumens for each tree, façade or path. For color-changing lights, optional dimmers and zoning let you raise light for parties or soften it for quiet evenings.

3. Optics and shielding – Precision beam angles, glare guards and shrouds aim light onto focal points, not into eyes or windows, eliminating the stadium effect common with bare floods.

Because LEDs emit almost no infrared heat, they feel gentler than halogen bulbs even when they equal or exceed your current light levels. You also enjoy up to 80 % energy savings and a lifetime warranty on every fixture.

Need an upgrade? Our hassle-free LED outdoor lighting conversion or a brand-new outdoor lighting installation will give you brighter, welcoming nights minus the harsh glare and high bills.

Question 21

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.
