Coastal Virginia Lighting – Outdoor & Landscape Lighting Experts
Looking for answers about landscape lighting? We’ve compiled the most common questions we get from homeowners in the Hampton Roads area. Whether you’re curious about pricing, installation, or customization, we’ve got you covered.
How much does landscape lighting cost?
Our promotional packages can start as low as $2,500 for a 10-light setup, which is the perfect number for most homes. Special projects, like illuminating a single tree, can cost even less. Pricing depends on the scope of your project—whether you’re interested in uplighting, walkway lighting, permanent architectural lighting, or full-yard solutions. We offer free consultations to design a system that fits your budget and your home.
How long does landscape lighting last?
Our lighting fixtures are guaranteed for life. Bulbs typically last between 3 to 10 years, depending on usage. With our optional lifetime warranty plan, you’ll never have to worry about replacing a bulb or fixture again.
Do you bury the wires?
Absolutely. We professionally bury all wires to keep your yard clean and your lighting system safe and hidden.
Will my yard be torn up during installation?
Most homeowners can’t tell we were there just 24 hours after installation is complete.
How much electricity do these lights use?
Our systems are low-voltage and highly energy-efficient, meaning they use minimal power and won’t cause a spike in your utility bills.
Can I expand my lighting system later?
Yes! All of our systems are designed with expansion in mind. Adding more lights in the future is simple and won’t require tearing up your yard or redoing your entire setup.
How long does installation take?
Most projects are completed in 1 to 3 days, depending on the size and complexity of your property.
Can the lights go underwater?
We do offer a type of light that can be submerged in water. Our IP68-rated fixtures are designed specifically for underwater use—perfect for ponds, fountains, or other water features.
Do I need to be home during installation?
Not necessarily. As long as we have access to the outdoor areas being lit and any necessary electrical connections, you do not need to be home during the installation process.
Do you offer smart lighting or Bluetooth control?
Yes, we offer Bluetooth controlled transformers, color changing fixtures, bistro lighting, and even discreet outdoor speakers, allowing you to control your lighting and music from your phone.
Do you offer permanent year-round color-changing lighting?
Yes, we specialize in PermaLites® 365—the ultimate solution for permanent, color-changing outdoor lighting for both homes and businesses. These systems are perfect for holidays, celebrations, game days, or simply adding curb appeal year-round—without the hassle of hanging temporary lights.
With app-based control, you can easily schedule colors, animations, and brightness right from your phone. The low-profile design means the lights are virtually invisible during the day, and fully customizable at night.
Is your lighting safe for pets and kids?
Absolutely. Our systems are low-voltage and professionally installed to ensure they’re safe for children, pets, and all outdoor activities.
