Outdoor Lighting Installation Services in Greensboro
Greensboro’s neighborhoods span more than a century of home styles. Fisher Park’s Victorian and Colonial Revival homes feature brick exteriors that require masonry anchors for fixture mounting, a different approach than the wood-sided craftsmen in Lindley Park or the mid-century ranches in New Irving Park.
Newer construction in Summerfield sits on larger lots with longer runs of underground wiring, where burial depth and transformer sizing matter more than on a compact Latham Park lot. Our team has worked across all of them and knows what each requires before we start.
Security & Perimeter Lighting
We install motion-activated floodlights, dusk-to-dawn wall packs, and perimeter fixtures at entryways, driveways, and side yards to improve visibility and help deter unauthorized access.
Pathway & Walkway Lighting
We install low-voltage pathway lights that illuminate steps, uneven terrain, and walkways to reduce trip hazards and safely guide guests to your door.
Landscape & Accent Lighting
We position uplighting to highlight mature trees, architectural features, and garden beds, adding depth and curb appeal to your property after dark.
Deck & Patio Lighting
We install post cap lights, recessed step lighting, and overhead fixtures to extend the usability of your outdoor living spaces into the evening.
Wall-Mounted Fixtures
We install sconces, coach lights, and wall packs at doors, garage entries, and exterior walls to enhance functionality, security, and curb appeal.
LED Retrofit & Upgrade
We replace outdated fixtures with energy-efficient LED systems that use up to 90% less energy and last significantly longer than traditional bulbs, helping reduce long-term lighting costs.

What Greensboro Homes Require
Not every outdoor lighting system fits every Greensboro property. Local housing stock, lot size, soil conditions, and neighborhood regulations each shape how we plan and install.
Historic Homes
Older homes may have aging panels, wiring, and masonry exteriors that require careful planning. We evaluate your electrical system and use proper mounting methods before installation.
Long-Setback Properties
Large lots and long driveways often need full-property coverage. We design lighting systems that improve visibility from the street to the home.
Mid-Century Homes
Older wiring and limited panel capacity may require upgrades before adding outdoor circuits. We assess your system and install to current code requirements.
Golf Course & Curb Appeal Properties
We create layered lighting designs that highlight landscaping, architecture, and entryways while meeting HOA guidelines.
Larger Rural Lots
Longer underground runs require proper wire sizing, burial depth, and transformer planning. We account for these factors before installation begins.
Greensboro’s Tree Canopy
Mature trees can affect light placement and coverage. We design around existing landscaping and seasonal changes.
North Carolina Climate
Rain, humidity, and soil conditions require durable materials. We use outdoor-rated fixtures, waterproof connections, and proper installation methods for long-term performance.
What Our Customers Say
“Joey came out and replaced an outdoor receptacle, capped off an exterior floodlight connection, and replaced and rewired our garage door sensors. The availability and communication from the team was great! Joey was a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Caudill’s Electric to anyone in the area. I’ll be using them solely for any future needs.”
— Chuck S., Greensboro
