Why Choose ASL Electric

Outdoor Lighting
That Actually Works

Solar and battery outdoor lights look good in the store but fail in 12–18 months. Hardwired outdoor lighting from ASL Electric works reliably for years — no dead batteries, no dim solar panels on cloudy days.

From Our Customers

"ASL installed motion security lights at both garage corners and pathway lights along our driveway. Looks great and our Ring cameras catch everything now."

— Karen M., Ladera Ranch

01
Hardwired, Not Battery

Hardwired outdoor lighting never runs out of power, never needs battery replacement, and works on cloudy winter days when solar panels produce nothing. One installation that works for decades.

02
Proper Weatherproofing

Outdoor wiring requires weatherproof conduit, correct burial depth for underground runs, wet-location rated junction boxes, and GFCI protection. We do all of this by code — no exposed wiring stapled to fascia boards.

03
Correct Sensor Placement

Motion sensors installed by non-electricians often trigger on street traffic or miss the actual coverage area. We aim and adjust every sensor correctly before leaving — proper range, sensitivity, and shutoff timing.

04
Hidden Wiring Runs

We run wiring inside eaves, through attic spaces, inside walls, or in buried conduit — keeping your home's exterior looking clean. No surface-mounted conduit snaking across your stucco.

05
All Outdoor Work Permitted

New outdoor circuits and underground wiring runs require permits in most OC cities. We pull permits and schedule inspections — ensuring your outdoor electrical work is safe, code-compliant, and insurable.

Common Questions

Outdoor Lighting
Questions Answered

Real questions OC homeowners ask about outdoor and landscape lighting installation.

What's the difference between hardwired and solar outdoor lights?

Hardwired outdoor lights run on your home's electrical system — they're always on when needed, at full brightness, regardless of weather. Solar lights depend on daily sun exposure and fail on cloudy days or in shaded locations. For security and reliability, hardwired is always the better choice.

Do outdoor lights need to be on a GFCI circuit?

Yes. California code requires GFCI protection on all outdoor circuits and outlets. We install GFCI protection at the panel or at the first outlet in the circuit on every outdoor job — no exceptions. This protects against shock in wet conditions.

How deep does outdoor wiring need to be buried?

California code requires a minimum of 12 inches for conduit and 24 inches for direct-burial wire without conduit. We always use conduit for outdoor runs — it protects the wire and makes future repairs easier. All our underground installations meet or exceed code depth requirements.

Can you add outdoor outlets for string lights and holiday decorations?

Yes — this is one of our most popular requests. We install weatherproof outdoor outlets in eaves, on patio posts, and along rooflines specifically for holiday lighting and outdoor entertainment power. GFCI protected, in-use covers, rated for year-round outdoor use.

My motion lights keep triggering from passing cars — can you fix that?

Yes. This is a sensitivity and aim issue. We adjust the sensor's detection zone to focus on your property, lower the sensitivity to reduce false triggers from small animals and distant movement, and angle the sensor away from the street. Most motion sensor adjustment visits take under an hour.

What outdoor lighting is best for home security?

The most effective security lighting combines motion-activated flood lights at entry points (garage, side gates, back door) with always-on lower-level lighting along pathways. We recommend pairing lights with your camera system — well-lit areas produce much better camera footage at night.

Can you install lights under my eaves and soffits?

Yes — soffit and eave lighting is popular in OC for both security and architectural accent. We route wiring inside the attic space or through the eave framing, install weatherproof recessed soffit fixtures, and connect to a switch or photocell. Clean result with no exposed wiring on the exterior.

Do outdoor lighting installations need a permit?

New outdoor circuits, underground wiring runs, and significant new installations require permits in most OC cities. Simple fixture swaps (replacing an existing porch light) typically don't. We tell you upfront what needs a permit and pull it as part of the job.
