Outdoor & Landscape Lighting Services in Seattle, WA
There’s something magical about stepping outside and seeing your home bathed in just the right light. Whether it’s a warm glow on the front porch, subtle up-lighting on the trees, or pathway lights guiding your guests to the door, outdoor lighting doesn’t just help people see—it helps people feel. In Seattle, where overcast skies and early sunsets are common companions, your outdoor lighting plays an even bigger role. It’s not just about aesthetics—it’s about safety, atmosphere, and getting the most out of your property year-round.
At SMART Electric, Heating & Air, we believe outdoor lighting should work with the unique rhythm of your life and the landscape you love. From rainy evenings in West Seattle to breezy summer nights near Lake Union, the right lighting transforms your outdoor space into something truly welcoming. It helps you entertain longer, move around safely, and add curb appeal to your home—without overwhelming your surroundings. Whether you're looking to install something new or need an electrical upgrade for your current system, our outdoor lighting services are sure to light up your world one fixture at a time!
When you're ready to enhance your outdoor space, the first step is thoughtful, professional installation. And that means looking beyond the surface. At SMART Electric, we don’t just hang lights—we perform top-notch electrical installations with durability and longevity in mind. We assess your property’s layout, understand your vision, and find lighting solutions that highlight what you love most while keeping walkways, patios, and entrances safely illuminated. Every switch, bulb, and fixture gets positioned to bring balance between brightness and subtlety.
Seattle’s climate makes proper installation especially important. With damp conditions, moisture exposure, and shifting soil, outdoor electrical components must be tough, secure, and built to last. That’s why we focus on weather-rated materials and water-tight connections. Whether it’s low-voltage landscape lights along your flower beds or motion-sensor security lights above the garage, we make sure every wire is safe, every fixture is level, and every switch works the first time you flip it.
But we also know outdoor lighting is personal. It’s about setting the mood you want, whether that’s a relaxing evening on the patio or a dramatic effect in your backyard garden. We install path lights, spotlights, deck lighting, recessed step lighting, wall sconces, and flood lights with precision—always considering how the light spreads, where it lands, and how it blends with the environment. And because energy use matters in Seattle’s eco-conscious neighborhoods, we offer LED options and smart lighting controls to help you cut costs while staying in control.
Lighting technology has come a long way, and if your system hasn’t kept up, you might be paying more and getting less. Flickering bulbs, outdated fixtures, poor coverage, or weather-damaged wiring are all signs that your outdoor lighting needs a refresh. That’s why, along with our installation-based outdoor and landscape lighting services in Seattle, WA, we can also replace your existing fixtures.
Our outdoor lighting replacement services begin with a detailed evaluation of your current setup. We check every component for signs of wear, corrosion, or water infiltration. We assess power sources, junction boxes, fixture integrity, and bulb performance. If your system no longer delivers clean, consistent light or if your controls are clunky and outdated, we recommend solutions that give you more light with less hassle. That might mean upgrading to energy-efficient LED lights, replacing corroded fixtures, or making specific electrical repairs for better performance.
In Seattle’s varied terrain—where homes sit on slopes, under trees, or in wide-open yards—light behaves differently. That’s why we consider not only the condition of your old system but also how your outdoor space has evolved. New landscaping, additions, or hardscaping can cast shadows where there used to be open space. We help reposition lights and install new fixtures that fit your space today, not ten years ago. The goal? Better coverage, less energy waste, and a safer, more beautiful home exterior.
And while we're at it, we future-proof your system. We install replacements with durability and ease of maintenance in mind, so you spend more time enjoying your yard and less time fixing it. Our team handles all the hardwired connections, sealing, testing, and cleanup—leaving you with a lighting system that works just as well in January drizzle as it does on a summer night in July.
Outdoor lighting is more than just a visual upgrade. It’s a functional investment in your home’s security, safety, and comfort. A well-lit exterior discourages trespassers, provides better visibility for cameras, and reduces the chance of accidents on walkways or driveways. Especially in Seattle’s darker winter months, when the sun sets early and visibility drops, dependable outdoor lighting can help you move around your property with confidence.
A custom lighting plan also adds curb appeal and resale value. The right lights create a sense of depth and dimension, drawing attention to your home’s best features—whether that’s the architectural lines of the porch, the texture of a stone retaining wall, or the lush foliage along the fence. Your outdoor space becomes more than a place to pass through—it becomes a place to gather, linger, and enjoy.
We also design systems with energy efficiency in mind. Today’s smart lighting options allow you to automate schedules, adjust brightness, or control zones remotely—all while using low-wattage LEDs that reduce your utility bill. And if you’ve already invested in beautiful landscaping, an effective lighting system ensures you enjoy it long after the sun goes down. Outdoor lighting isn’t just about brightness—it’s about balance, creativity, and making every inch of your space more usable and more enjoyable.
