Even-spaced, glare-free path lighting for the walk from the driveway to the front door in 95003 — no hot spots, no dark gaps.
Smart Outdoor Lighting
App control, voice control, sunrise/sunset scheduling, and scene presets — works with the rest of your smart home.
Built for Rio del Mar weather and tested for California homes.
Right-sized transformers
We size every transformer for 70% load. That leaves headroom for voltage drop, future expansion, and the LED inrush current most installers ignore.
In-person lighting design
Every Rio del Mar project starts with a free in-home consultation after dark. You see exactly where each fixture will go and what it will illuminate.
Brass and copper, always
We don't install plastic or painted aluminum fixtures in Rio del Mar. Brass develops a patina, copper darkens beautifully, and both outlast the warranty period by a wide margin.
Hub-style wiring connections
Pierce-point connectors are the #1 reason landscape lighting in 95003 fails by year three. We use waterproof hub connections on every run.
