NiteLites of Dayton-The Landscape Lighting Professionals provides free money saving tips on preparing new construction for outdoor lighting systems.
NiteLites of Dayton offers the following money and time saving steps for those planning on illuminating their new residential or commercial construction.
The Landscape Lighting Designers at NiteLites of Dayton recommend the following pre-construction steps for the best results from professionally installed low voltage lighting systems.
1)Place 1 ½ inch or larger conduit under driveways and walkways. Conduits should extend 12 inches past each side of the pavement edge. The pavement should be marked with a narrow groove on each side and the homeowner should have a drawing where the conduit locations are measured from a fixed reference such as the curb or garage wall. If possible, place 2 conduits - one for lighting and the other for a sprinkler system that may be installed in the future.
2) Have new landscaping planted at least 24 inches away from foundation of the project.
3) Install electrical outlets in all locations where lighting transformers will be needed. Each outlet should have 15 or 20 amp capacity and should have a GFCI outlet. Be sure to have spare outlets for holiday lighting as well.
4) Be sure to have in-use weatherproof covers installed on all of your outside outlets. In-use covers have a bubble cover that keeps the outlet dry even when items are plugged in. This is an essential step that is often overlooked.
5) Request that the electrician install each exterior outlet on a dedicated and labeled breaker.
6) Start communication early with your lighting professionals. The lighting experts at NiteLites will review project plans to determine the best locations to add outlets. This is much less expensive to do as part of the initial building project rather than adding them on after the construction is complete. As an extra time saving measure for prospective clients, NiteLites of Dayton will even review building plans faxed to their office. Plans should be faxed to Jim or Tracy Landsiedel owners of NiteLites of Dayton, NiteLites of Cincinnati, and NiteLites of Northern Kentucky at 1-937-312-0428.
