Outdoor Lighting Installation Services
in Winston-Salem
Winston-Salem properties span more than a century of construction styles, from early-1900s craftsman bungalows in Ardmore to new commercial campuses along the University Parkway corridor. Our team has installed outdoor lighting across all of them and knows what each property type requires before the job starts.
Parking Lot Lighting
We design and install complete parking lot lighting systems, including pole placement, fixture selection, and photocell controls for automatic operation.
LED Retrofit & Upgrade
We replace outdated fixtures with energy-efficient LED systems that can use up to 90% less energy and last significantly longer than traditional lighting. We also assist with utility rebate documentation to maximize savings.
Security & Perimeter Lighting
We install motion-activated floodlights, dusk-to-dawn wall packs, and perimeter lighting systems to improve visibility and help deter unauthorized access.
Architectural & Accent Lighting
We install strategically placed fixtures to highlight building facades, entryways, and signage, from historic storefronts in Old Salem to modern offices in Innovation Quarter.
Pathway & Wayfinding Lighting
We install pathway lighting that helps guide visitors safely from parking areas to entrances and key destinations.
Patio & Outdoor Amenity Lighting
We wire outdoor seating areas, patios, beer gardens, and recreational spaces with targeted lighting that extends usability after dark.
Smart Lighting Controls
We install photocells, timers, and automated lighting controls that adjust operation based on daylight and occupancy conditions.

| What Matters to You | Caudill’s Electric | Other Providers |
|---|---|---|
| Local Experience | ✓ Second-generation, family-owned company serving since 1973. We understand Winston-Salem neighborhoods, building codes, and Forsyth County permit requirements. | ✕ Many contractors cover a broad region without specific knowledge of local codes or outdoor electrical conditions. |
| Licensed & Insured | ✓ NCBEEC-licensed, bonded, and insured electricians complete every job. | ✕ Unlicensed or underinsured contractors can create code violations and liability risks for property owners. |
| Commercial-Grade Materials | ✓ We use outdoor-rated fixtures designed for long-term performance in Piedmont Triad conditions, not residential-grade components for commercial applications. | ✕ Budget installers may use lower-quality fixtures that fail sooner and increase long-term costs. |
| Permit & Code Compliance | ✓ We handle required permits and coordinate Forsyth County inspections from start to finish. | ✕ Some providers leave permitting responsibilities to the property owner, increasing the risk of delays and failed inspections. |
| Responsive Local Support | ✓ Based in the Triad, we provide prompt support for repairs, adjustments, and service needs. | ✕ Out-of-area providers may take longer to respond to service requests. |
| Reputation | ✓ A 4.9-star Google rating from 250+ verified reviews reflects the trust we’ve built with Winston-Salem customers. | ✕ Newer or less established contractors may lack a proven local track record. |
