Landscape and pathway lighting in Taos Ski Valley

Low-voltage LED landscape lighting marks paths, steps and driveways and shows off trees, walls and xeriscape planting. We size the transformer, bury the cable and aim each fixture so the light lands on the ground, not in your eyes or the neighbor's window.

Security and motion lighting

Motion-activated floodlights at garages, side yards and back doors are among the cheapest security upgrades there are. We mount them at the right height, aim the sensor so passing cars don't trigger it and wire them to a switch so you keep manual control.

Patio, portal and outdoor living power

Covered patios and portals need damp or wet rated fixtures, fan-rated boxes and GFCI-protected outlets. We also run power for outdoor kitchens, string lights, fountains and gate openers.

Good reasons to add outdoor lighting in Taos Ski Valley

Dark steps, paths or driveway edges
No light at side gates or the back door
A patio or portal you can't use after sunset
Extension cords running across the yard
Old fixtures that are sun-cracked or full of dust

Electrical work in Taos Ski Valley and Taos County

Freeze-thaw cycles, snow load and strong high-altitude sun are tough on exterior electrical gear in Taos Ski Valley. We bury cable at the proper depth, use fittings rated for wet locations and mount equipment where sliding snow won't tear it off the wall.

Outdoor Lighting Installation FAQ for Taos Ski Valley

How much does outdoor lighting installation cost in Taos Ski Valley?

It depends on the number of fixtures, the trenching needed and whether power is already nearby. We walk the property and price the complete layout.

Is low-voltage lighting better than line voltage?

For paths and gardens, low-voltage LED is safer, cheaper to run and easier to adjust later. Floodlights and building-mounted fixtures usually run on line voltage.

Will outdoor lights bother the neighbors or wash out the night sky?

Not if they're shielded and aimed down. We use fully shielded, warm-color fixtures where possible, which also suits New Mexico's night sky protection rules.

Can the lights come on automatically?

Yes. Photocells, timers and smart switches turn them on at dusk and off whenever you choose.

What customers say

They put recessed lights in our living room even though there is no attic above it. Clean holes, no mess and the dimmer works perfectly.
Linda C. Lighting

They did the electrical for our restaurant build-out and worked nights so we could keep the other side open. Showed up when they said they would, every time.
Carlos V. Commercial

Half the house went dark at 9 at night and there was a burning smell at the panel. Someone answered straight away, told me what to shut off and had an electrician out fast. Fixed that night.
