How long does it take to install outdoor lighting?
Quick Answer
Most residential landscape lighting projects are completed in a single day. Larger homes or properties with extensive landscaping may take two days. Commercial projects vary more widely depending on scope. A small storefront or restaurant patio might take a day, while parking lot pole work, garage lighting, or multi-building properties can take several days to a couple of weeks.
Detailed Answer
Installation time depends on the type of project, the size of the property, and the complexity of the lighting plan.
For residential homes, a typical accent or landscape lighting system with 10 to 30 fixtures is usually finished in one visit. Properties with features like pool areas, outdoor kitchens, long driveways, or extensive tree lighting may require a second day. Christmas lighting installations follow a similar timeline, with most homes completed in a single visit.
Commercial projects have a wider range. A restaurant patio or retail storefront accent package can often be completed in a day. Larger scopes like parking lot pole installations, parking garage retrofits, warehouse high bay upgrades, or community entrance lighting for an HOA may require several days of scheduled work.
