Landscape and pathway lighting in Tijeras

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 Tijeras

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 Tijeras and Bernalillo County

Strong UV at this elevation breaks down cheap exterior fittings quickly, and blowing dust gets into anything that isn't sealed. For outdoor work in Tijeras we use sunlight-resistant cable, in-use covers and fixtures listed for wet locations so the installation lasts.

Outdoor Lighting Installation FAQ for Tijeras

How much does outdoor lighting installation cost in Tijeras?

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 ran the circuit and set the disconnect before the spa was delivered, then came back to hook it up. Smooth from start to finish.

Polite, on time and explained everything without talking down to me. I will call them again.
Rachel B. General

Three outlets in the kitchen quit working and I could not figure out why. The electrician found a bad connection in about twenty minutes and showed me what had happened.
