Lifetime craftsmanship guarantee
If our workmanship fails in 60048 — a loose connection, a sloppy splice, a fixture that wasn't mounted right — we come back and fix it. Lifetime, in writing.
Brass and copper, always
We don't install plastic or painted aluminum fixtures in Waukegan. Brass develops a patina, copper darkens beautifully, and both outlast the warranty period by a wide margin.
Owner on every job
An owner walks every Waukegan property before quoting and is on-site for the install. You aren't handed off to a subcontractor halfway through.
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.
What Waukegan homeowners say.
"Architect-quality up-lighting on our stone façade. Neighbors keep asking who did it."
"Brass fixtures look incredible a couple years in — patina is even and the finish hasn't peeled anywhere. Worth every penny over the plastic ones we had before."
"Years on, zero failed fixtures. They came back once to swap a transformer — covered under warranty, no hassle."

Ask Us Anything · (213) 752-393501Are permits required?+
Low-voltage landscape lighting in IL generally does not require a permit. Line-voltage exterior circuits and any new sub-panel work do — we pull those when needed and coordinate with the inspector.
02What color temperature do you recommend?+
For most Waukegan homes we install 2700K — a warm white that flatters brick, stone, and landscaping. We'll demo 3000K side-by-side at the consultation if you want to compare.
