Landscape lighting in Long Beach requires electrical work sized correctly for the property and suited to the outdoor environment — correctly rated transformers for low-voltage systems, GFCI-protected circuits for all outdoor line-voltage work, weatherproof connections at every junction, and direct-burial cable at the correct depth. Our licensed electricians install both low-voltage landscape systems and line-voltage outdoor fixtures, file permits with Long Beach Development Services for any work requiring them, and test the full system before signing off.
Landscape Lighting for Long Beach
Long Beach homeowners most commonly request pathway lighting along driveways and garden walkways, architectural accent lighting on building facades and trees, and driveway gate lighting at line voltage. Long Beach’s mild climate makes outdoor living spaces functional year-round, increasing demand for well-lit outdoor areas. For coastal-adjacent properties we specify corrosion-resistant fixtures appropriate for the site conditions.
Transformer Sizing and GFCI
A correctly sized transformer is the foundation of a reliable low-voltage landscape system. An undersized transformer running at maximum load produces voltage drop that reduces fixture output and transformer life. We size transformers to 80% of rated capacity for the total fixture load, providing headroom for future additions.
- Transformer sized to 80% of rated capacity
- GFCI protection required outdoors
- Weatherproof covers at all outdoor boxes
- Direct-burial cable at correct depth
- Full system tested at completion
Low-Voltage vs. Line-Voltage
Low-voltage systems are the most common landscape lighting type in Long Beach residential properties — flexible, energy-efficient, and safe. Line-voltage systems are used where higher-output fixtures are required or where voltage drop over long cable runs makes low voltage impractical. We install both.
Benefits of a 200-Amp Panel Upgrade
A 200-amp panel provides sufficient capacity for a modern home’s full electrical load with meaningful headroom for future additions. Beyond raw capacity, a new panel brings AFCI and GFCI breaker slots that older panels lack — reducing the risk of arc faults and ground faults that are leading causes of residential electrical fires. New panels use high-quality bus bars and connection hardware that eliminates the corrosion and loose connection issues common in aging equipment. Many homeowners find that a panel upgrade also resolves long-standing nuisance issues — breakers tripping unexpectedly, voltage fluctuations, and lights dimming under load.
- Supports EV chargers, additions, and modern loads

Why Choose Our Panel Upgrade Service
Our electricians perform panel upgrades with full permit filing and utility coordination included in the quoted price — there are no separate charges for permit fees, utility coordination calls, or inspection scheduling. We work with all major utility providers including LADWP, SCE, PG&E, and Pasadena Water and Power to coordinate the meter pull and service restoration, and we schedule the installation to minimize the time your property is without power. We do not consider the job finished until the inspection has passed — not when the panel is physically installed, and not when the meter is restored.
