How To Settle On The Right Outdoor Lighting Contractor Washington DC

By Barbara Howard


Garbage cans fall then there is some scampering. One cannot see what the ruckus was about because the yard is dark. What if the next step for the intruder in the house? What if they have already breached the door and are headed for the chocolate cake left out to cool? One needs to be able to survey the exterior of the house while still inside. They need to be able to tell if they are in danger or if a raccoon is coming in to take their pastry. An outdoor lighting contractor Washington DC will be instrumental in ensuring the yard can be reconnoitered from the bedroom window.

There are three types of lighting one can choose from. There are incandescent, halogen and outdoor LED bulbs. The incandescent and halogen bulbs have a war sort of romantic feel to them. They are however more popular for the interiors as they do not carry a lot of brightness. The Light Emitting Diode is a bright and more energy efficient option. This is the best for the outdoors for both safety and artistic reasons.

Making a decision on the design and bulb options should not be done in the absence of a professional. A technician should provide guidance on the best and safest options. However, some technicians get offended or push too hard for one particular idea. Maybe to clear old stock or for whatever other reason. This is a clear sign that one should move on to another technician.

The technician should be vastly knowledgeable about ohms law and voltage dropping. These are integral to the safety of the design. They should demonstrate that they know what they are doing and support it with some science. Artistic needs should not come before safety. It may not be apparent. This is why due diligence is important.

Wires must be buried deep underground. This serves an aesthetic purpose and a safety one too. They should be at least 3 ft deep. How deep they go will be determined by their voltage capacity. They should also have copper sleeves and waterproof caps. The elements should not affect functionality or degrade the quality of the materials used.

The technician must be experienced in the job. They must be ready to produce evidence of previous work done. They must present former customer for one to contact in the future for reviews and testimonials. They should produce pictures or a catalog showing their designs and capabilities. They should also mention how long it took to come up with the designs and install them.

This work is not to be left to any kind of electrician. They must be able to design good designs to satisfy the client while keeping the safety concerns in check. The perfect balance must be stricken in this respect. For one technician to do both the design and installation, they must present their technician and designer certifications. These licenses should be verified.

Love what you do and you will never have to work a day in your life. This rings true. A passionate technician will not view the project as a job but a privileged opportunity to do what they love. This will be apparent by their design and performance. They will be enthusiastic and happy to show up to work.
