Outdoor Lighting Installation

Expert landscape, security, and exterior lighting installation by
licensed electricians serving the Grand Strand for over 40 years.

Outdoor Lighting Installation Across the Grand Strand

The right outdoor lighting transforms a property after dark — making a home safer, more secure, and more beautiful all at once. A well-lit path keeps guests sure-footed, motion-activated floods deter intruders, and warm accent lighting turns a house into the best-looking one on the street. Greg Beverly Services, Inc. has designed and installed outdoor lighting for Grand Strand homes and businesses since 1985, with the coastal know-how to make sure those fixtures keep performing through salt air, humidity, and storm season.

Based in Murrells Inlet, we install landscape, security, and architectural lighting throughout Myrtle Beach, Surfside Beach, Garden City, Pawleys Island, Litchfield Beach, and the surrounding communities — for single-family homes, vacation properties, and commercial sites.

Professional Outdoor Lighting Installation Across the Grand Strand

Outdoor lighting does more than look good. It extends the usable hours of your yard and outdoor living spaces, improves safety on steps and walkways, deters break-ins, and highlights the features that make your property distinctive. But coastal outdoor lighting also faces a tougher environment than most: salt air corrodes cheap fixtures and connections, humidity tests every seal, and storms demand properly secured, code-compliant wiring.

Greg Beverly Services brings four decades of coastal experience to every lighting project. Our licensed South Carolina electricians design the layout, install durable fixtures and properly buried low-voltage or line-voltage wiring, and make sure every connection is sealed against the elements. Every installation is performed by licensed, insured electricians — never subcontracted labor — and permitted where required.

Our Outdoor Lighting Services

We design and install the full range of exterior lighting.

Landscape Lighting

Uplighting on trees and architecture, downlighting for a soft “moonlight” effect, and garden and bed lighting that bring your landscaping to life after sunset. We design the layout to highlight your property’s best features.

Security & Flood Lighting

Motion-activated floods, dusk-to-dawn fixtures, and targeted security lighting that eliminate dark corners and deter intruders around entries, garages, driveways, and perimeters.

Pathway & Step Lighting

Walkway, path, and step lighting that keeps family and guests safe on uneven coastal terrain — combining safety with a polished, welcoming look.

Accent & Architectural Lighting

Lighting that showcases columns, facades, water features, and outdoor structures, turning architectural details into focal points after dark.

Deck, Patio & Dock Lighting

Lighting for the outdoor living spaces that matter most on the coast — decks, patios, pergolas, and docks — wired and sealed for waterfront and poolside conditions.

Smart & Dusk-to-Dawn Controls

Timers, photocells, smart controls, and app-based systems that let your lighting run automatically and adjust to your schedule, so you never come home to a dark house.

Coastal-Rated Fixtures & Wiring

We specify corrosion-resistant, outdoor-rated fixtures and properly protected wiring chosen to survive salt air and humidity — the single biggest factor in how long a coastal lighting system lasts.

Benefits of Professional Outdoor Lighting

Professionally installed outdoor lighting pays off in safety, security, and value.

  • Improved safety. Lit paths, steps, and entries prevent trips and falls after dark.
  • Stronger security. Motion and dusk-to-dawn lighting deter intruders and eliminate hiding spots.
  • Greater curb appeal. Thoughtful design makes your property stand out and adds resale value.
  • Extended outdoor living. Decks, patios, and yards stay usable well into the evening.
  • Coastal durability. Corrosion-resistant fixtures and sealed connections withstand salt air and humidity.
  • Energy efficiency. Modern LED systems deliver more light for far less energy and minimal maintenance.

Common Reasons You May Need Outdoor Lighting

Property owners call us when:

  • Dark walkways or steps create a safety hazard
  • They want stronger security around entries, driveways, and perimeters
  • Their landscaping and architecture deserve to be showcased at night
  • A deck, patio, or dock needs proper, safe lighting
  • Old fixtures have corroded or failed in the coastal climate
  • They want automated control with timers, photocells, or smart systems
  • They’re building or renovating and want lighting designed in from the start
  • Existing outdoor wiring is unsafe, undersized, or not up to code

Our Outdoor Lighting Installation Process

We make the process easy from first call to final glow.

  1. Contact and discussion. Call or submit the contact form. We’ll talk through your goals — security, beauty, safety, or all three.
  2. On-site design walkthrough. A licensed electrician walks your property, evaluates power sources, and designs a lighting layout suited to your home and landscaping.
  3. Written estimate. You receive a clear, line-item estimate covering fixtures, wiring, controls, and labor before work begins.
  4. Installation. We install fixtures and properly protected wiring, set transformers and controls, and seal every connection against the elements, pulling permits where required.
  5. Testing and walkthrough. We test the system after dark when possible, fine-tune the aim and timing, and show you how to operate the controls.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does outdoor lighting installation cost in the Grand Strand?

Cost depends on the number and type of fixtures, the wiring required, and whether you choose low-voltage or line-voltage systems and smart controls. A few accent lights is a very different project from a full-property landscape and security design. We provide a written, line-item estimate after walking your property.

How long does an outdoor lighting installation take?

Many residential lighting projects are completed in one to two days, depending on the size of the property, the number of fixtures, and the wiring runs involved. We’ll give you an accurate timeline with your estimate.

What's the difference between low-voltage and line-voltage lighting?

Low-voltage (12V) systems run through a transformer and are popular for landscape and accent lighting because they’re efficient and flexible. Line-voltage (120V) systems are used for brighter security and flood lighting. We’ll recommend the right approach — or a combination — based on your goals.

Will outdoor lighting hold up to coastal salt air?

It will when it’s the right hardware. Salt air corrodes low-quality fixtures and connections quickly, which is why we install corrosion-resistant, outdoor-rated fixtures and seal every connection. Choosing coastal-rated equipment is the biggest factor in how long your system lasts.

Can outdoor lighting really improve home security?

Yes. Motion-activated floods and dusk-to-dawn fixtures eliminate the dark areas intruders rely on and make a property far less appealing as a target, while improving safety for your family and guests.

Can you automate my outdoor lighting?

Absolutely. We install timers, photocells, and smart controls that turn lighting on at dusk, off at a set time, or on a schedule you control from your phone — so your property is never dark when it shouldn’t be.

Do you use LED fixtures?

Yes. We install LED outdoor lighting because it uses far less energy, lasts longer, and requires less maintenance than older lighting, which is especially valuable for fixtures exposed to the coastal climate.

Do you pull permits for outdoor lighting installations?

Where the work requires it, we permit the installation through Horry or Georgetown County and wire it to current South Carolina code, ensuring a safe, compliant system.

Can you repair or replace existing outdoor lighting?

Yes. We repair and replace corroded, failed, or outdated outdoor fixtures and wiring, and can upgrade older systems to efficient, durable LED lighting with modern controls.

Can outdoor lighting be installed at a vacation rental or commercial property?

Yes. We design and install durable lighting for rentals and commercial sites — improving safety, security, and curb appeal with hardware built to withstand guest use and coastal weather.
