Outdoor Lighting Services for Gulf Coast Homes and Businesses

Outdoor lighting on the Gulf Coast has to do two things most lighting never does: look right under a live oak at 9 p.m. in August, and survive what Mobile's weather does to anything mounted outside. Salt air corrodes cheap fixtures in a season, afternoon storms find every bad connection, and a transformer that was undersized on the day it went in keeps dimming as fixtures are added. Done properly, outdoor lighting services are electrical work first and decoration second.

Professional Systems designs and installs outdoor and landscape lighting across Mobile and Baldwin County: low-voltage landscape systems, line-voltage security and flood lighting, dock and pier lighting, pool and patio lighting, and commercial exterior and parking-lot lighting. Our electricians have wired Gulf Coast homes and businesses for more than 25 years, every project is permitted where a permit is required, and the work carries a 1-year workmanship guarantee.

What We Install

Outdoor Lighting We Design and Install

✓

Landscape and Architectural Lighting

Low-voltage uplights on oaks, magnolias and palms, path and step lights, wall grazing on brick and stucco, and wash lighting on the front of the house. Warm LED color temperatures that flatter a home instead of floodlighting it.

✓

Security and Flood Lighting

Motion-activated LED floods at garage corners, side yards and back doors, dusk-to-dawn fixtures at entries, and switching that lets you light the whole perimeter from inside.

✓

Dock, Pier and Pool Lighting

Wet-location fixtures, GFCI protection and corrosion-resistant hardware for waterfront homes on the bay, the Delta and the rivers, installed to the code that governs lighting near water.

✓

Patios, Outdoor Kitchens and Pergolas

String-light circuits done right, fan and fixture boxes rated for damp locations, dimming and smart control so the space works for dinner and for cleanup.

✓

Commercial Exterior and Parking-Lot Lighting

LED pole lights and retrofits, wall packs, canopy and sign circuits, photocells and timers for storefronts, churches, offices and small industrial sites.

✓

Controls

Photocells, astronomical timers, smart switches and app control, so the lights come on at dusk every day of the year without anyone thinking about it.

Security Lighting

Security Lighting That Actually Deters

Security lighting fails in two directions: too little, so the side yard and the back corner of the garage stay dark, or too much, so a single glaring flood blinds the camera, annoys the neighbors and leaves everything outside its beam darker by contrast. The right answer is several moderate fixtures at the places that matter, aimed down, with motion sensors set so a cat doesn't light up the yard at 3 a.m. but a person at the gate does.

Our electricians lay security lighting out from the approaches: driveway, side gates, back door, the dark corner between the garage and the fence. Motion floods go where surprise helps, dusk-to-dawn fixtures go at entries, and everything is wired on its own circuit with weatherproof boxes and in-use covers so a storm doesn't take the system down. If you have cameras, we place and aim the lights so they help the image instead of washing it out.

For rentals and vacation properties in Baldwin County, we set schedules and smart controls so the house looks occupied whether or not it is.

Commercial Lighting

Commercial and Parking-Lot Lighting

A dark parking lot costs a business customers at dusk and exposes it to liability all night. Commercial lighting services on our side of the bay are mostly LED conversions on existing poles, new poles and bases where a lot was never lit properly, wall packs on the building, and the photocells, contactors and timers that run it all. LED retrofits typically cut the lighting portion of the power bill sharply and end the cycle of replacing ballasts and lamps in a bucket truck.

We handle commercial lighting for storefronts and strip centers, restaurants, churches, offices, warehouses and light-industrial buildings across Mobile and Baldwin County, including the service and circuit work behind it, because we're licensed for the entire electrical scope. Lighting installation services for a business come with a written scope, a fixed price, permits and inspections where required, and scheduling that keeps the lot usable while we work.

Built for the Coast

Built for Salt Air, Rain and Storm Season

✓

Corrosion-Resistant Fixtures

Brass, copper and marine-grade aluminum fixtures with stainless hardware for waterfront and near-coast homes. The cheap stuff pits and fails within a couple of seasons here.

✓

Wet-Location Everything

Boxes, covers, connectors and fixtures rated for the location they're in, with sealed, gel-filled connections on low-voltage runs so water never reaches the copper.

✓

Sized Transformers and Circuits

Low-voltage transformers sized with headroom for the fixtures you'll add later, and line-voltage runs on their own breakers with GFCI protection where code calls for it.

✓

Buried Properly

Direct-burial cable at the right depth, conduit where it crosses drives and walks, and routes that stay clear of future digging.

✓

Hurricane-Ready

Fixtures anchored, poles rated for wind, and systems that come back on their own when the power does.

✓

1-Year Workmanship Guarantee

If something in our installation isn't right, we make it right. In writing.

How It Works

From Design Visit to First Evening

1

On-Site Design Visit

An electrician walks the property at the time of day the lighting matters, listens to what you want, and sketches the plan: fixtures, placement, controls and circuits.

2

Written Design and Price

Fixture list, layout and one installed price. For commercial sites, a scope you can hand to your landlord or insurer.

3

Installation

Trenching, wiring, transformers, fixtures and controls, with the yard put back the way we found it. Most residential landscape systems are done in a day or two.

4

Night Aiming and Walkthrough

We come back at dusk to aim and adjust, set the timers, show you the controls and leave the guarantee in writing.

Local Knowledge

Outdoor Lighting Across Mobile and Baldwin County

We install outdoor lighting from Midtown and Spring Hill to West Mobile, Saraland and Semmes, and across the bay in Daphne, Fairhope, Spanish Fort, Foley, Gulf Shores and Orange Beach. Historic districts get fixture choices that respect the house; waterfront homes get the corrosion conversation; beach rentals get schedules and controls that work without anyone on site.

Outdoor lighting often uncovers bigger electrical questions on older Mobile homes, a crowded panel, an exterior circuit with no GFCI, a feed to a dock that was never permitted. Because Professional Systems holds a full electrical license, the same crew fixes those too. See lighting installation for interior fixtures, recessed lighting and ceiling fans, electrical services for the rest, and all services for heating and air.

Questions & Answers

Outdoor and Landscape Lighting — Frequently Asked Questions

What does landscape lighting installation cost?

It depends on the number and type of fixtures, the length of the runs, and whether a transformer and new circuit are needed. After a free on-site design visit you get one installed price in writing, with the fixture list itemized so you can scale the plan up or down.

Low-voltage or line-voltage: which is right for my yard?

Most residential landscape lighting is low-voltage: safer around plants and people, easier to add to, and run from a transformer on a single circuit. Security floods, parking-lot poles and most commercial fixtures are line-voltage on their own breakers. Many homes end up with both, and we design them together.

Will outdoor lighting survive salt air and storms?

It will if the fixtures and connections are chosen for it. We use brass, copper and marine-grade aluminum fixtures with stainless hardware near the water, wet-location boxes and sealed connections everywhere, and we bury and anchor for Gulf Coast weather. The work carries a 1-year workmanship guarantee.

Can you add security lighting to my existing outdoor circuits?

Often, yes. An electrician checks the circuit's capacity and GFCI protection first. If it's undersized, shared with something it shouldn't be, or unprotected, we quote the correction along with the lighting.

Do you install commercial and parking-lot lighting?

Yes. LED pole lights and retrofits, wall packs, canopy and sign circuits, photocells and timers for storefronts, churches, offices and industrial sites across Mobile and Baldwin County, with permits and inspections handled.

Do I need a permit for outdoor lighting in Mobile?

Low-voltage landscape systems generally don't. New line-voltage circuits, dock and pool lighting and commercial installations generally do, and we pull the permit and meet the inspector when they apply.
