WHAT YOUR NEIGHBORS ARE SAYING ABOUT US

Eric with Big Family electric was professional and knowledgeable, and able to diagnose an issue with our electrical system with ease! I cannot say enough good about him and this company. They were able to accommodate us by getting someone out the very next day...

Eric was great. He did a thorough job checking out my issue, and while he couldn't find the exact cause, he fixed what we both thought the issue was. As of now, no complaints. They were very fast getting out to me, which was crucial because I work from home.

I had an issue that needed to be addressed promptly and BIG was able to send someone out early the next day. Eric got there early and got straight to work. Gave me my quote and also a quote for a few other things that weren't up to par. I opted for only the work...

Eric and Aubrey did a tremendous job adding Starfish lights to my exterior and trouble shooting my surround sound issues. I would highly recommend them.

My first impression of Big Family Electrical after meeting Eric can only be described as "Awesome". Then I had the pleasure to see Eric's work in real-time because I was on the jobsite. And then Sean came to help which only made my confidence grow more...

Landscape, Pathway & Security Lighting Choices

Different areas of your property benefit from different types of lighting. We help you choose the right fixtures and placement for each space.

Landscape lighting brings attention to trees, shrubs, garden beds, and architectural features. Uplighting creates dramatic shadows on walls and beneath tree canopies. Downlighting from trees or eaves provides subtle illumination for entertaining areas. Well lights tucked into flower beds highlight plantings without visible fixtures.
Pathway lighting guides guests safely from the driveway to your front door and along garden paths. Low-voltage path lights line walkways without creating glare. Bollard lights offer taller, more substantial illumination for driveways and main walkways. Step lights built into stairs and retaining walls prevent trips and falls.
Security lighting deters unwanted visitors and improves visibility around entry points. Motion-sensor floodlights activate when someone approaches your home. Wall-mounted fixtures illuminate doorways, garage entries, and side yards. Dusk-to-dawn lights provide consistent overnight coverage without manual switches.

Advantages of Professional Outdoor Lighting

Outdoor lighting installation involves more than screwing in a bulb. Proper design, electrical work, and weather protection require professional attention.

Professional installation provides several benefits:

Safe wiring that meets electrical codes and handles Baton Rouge’s humidity and heat
Proper voltage selection prevents premature bulb failure and reduces energy costs
Strategic fixture placement creates even illumination without harsh shadows or dark spots
Weather-resistant connections keep your system working through Louisiana thunderstorms
Transformer sizing that supports future expansion without overloading your system
Integration with timers, smart controls, or photocells for automated operation

DIY lighting kits often fail within a season because connections corrode in our humid climate. Our installations use marine-grade wire nuts, sealed junction boxes, and proper burial depths for underground wiring. That attention to detail means your lighting keeps working year after year.

Outdoor Lighting Design & Installation Services

We handle every step of your outdoor lighting project. The process starts with a walkthrough of your property. We discuss which areas you want to light, your preferred style, and your budget. Then we design a lighting plan that balances your goals with practical electrical considerations.

Our installation services include:

Custom lighting design based on your home’s architecture and landscaping
Low-voltage and line-voltage system installation
Transformer installation and circuit planning
Trenching and conduit work for underground wiring
Fixture mounting on walls, trees, posts, or ground stakes
Timer, photocell, or smart home integration
Final adjustments to aim and brightness levels

We can also upgrade existing outdoor lighting. If your current system uses outdated halogen bulbs, we can retrofit LED fixtures that use less energy and last longer. If you’re adding new landscaping, we integrate new lighting into your existing setup.

Outdoor Lighting FAQs

How much does outdoor lighting installation cost in Baton Rouge?

Most residential outdoor lighting projects range from $1,500 to $5,000, depending on the number of fixtures, type of system, and amount of wiring required. We provide detailed estimates after evaluating your property.

Should I choose low-voltage or line-voltage outdoor lighting?

Low-voltage systems work well for landscape and pathway lighting because they’re safer, more energy-efficient, and easier to expand. Line-voltage lighting makes sense for security floodlights and fixtures that need maximum brightness.

Can outdoor lighting withstand Baton Rouge's humidity and storms?

Yes, when properly installed. We use weather-resistant fixtures rated for wet locations and seal all connections to prevent moisture intrusion. Quality installation protects your system from Louisiana’s toughest weather.

How long do LED outdoor lights last?

LED outdoor fixtures typically last 25,000 to 50,000 hours, which translates to 15 to 25 years with typical evening use. They also use 75% less energy than traditional halogen bulbs.

Can I add smart controls to my outdoor lighting?

Absolutely. We can integrate your outdoor lighting with timers, photocells, motion sensors, or smart home systems. This allows you to control lights from your phone, set schedules, or trigger lights based on sunset times.
