Licensed electricians for landscape lighting, outdoor lighting installation, LED upgrades, low-voltage lighting support, and weather-safe electrical work. Exceptional Electric serves Kirkwood, Arnold, St. Louis County, Jefferson County, and nearby communities with safe exterior lighting solutions for homes and light commercial properties.
Outdoor lighting should do more than make the yard visible. It should improve safety, highlight the property, support outdoor living, and hold up to weather and long-term use. A well-planned system can light walkways, patios, entries, landscaping, and dark areas around the home without looking harsh or uneven.
Exceptional Electric provides professional landscape and outdoor lighting services for homeowners and businesses in Kirkwood, Arnold, and nearby St. Louis communities. We install pathway lights, accent lights, patio and deck lighting, security lighting, and other exterior fixtures with attention to layout, wiring, transformer needs, and code-aware installation.
Whether you want better curb appeal, improved visibility at night, safer walking paths, or a more usable backyard, our electricians help plan the right lighting setup for the property.

Outdoor lighting is not just about adding fixtures. The system has to match the layout of the property, provide the right amount of light in the right places, and use wiring methods and components that can handle outdoor conditions. Some projects are simple fixture replacements. Others involve new wiring, transformer placement, switching, photocells, timers, or a broader lighting design plan.
Exceptional Electric checks fixture locations, power source options, control methods, cable routes, and weather exposure before making a recommendation. We help property owners decide whether the job needs low-voltage landscape lighting, line-voltage exterior lighting, security lighting, or a combination that fits the way the space is used.
If the existing system has damaged fixtures, poor placement, weak illumination, or unreliable wiring, we correct the problem instead of adding more lights without a plan.

Not every outdoor lighting project is the same. Some homes need a few clean pathway lights or entry lights. Others need a more complete layout with accent lighting for landscaping, patio lighting for gathering areas, motion or security lighting, or upgrades to older systems that no longer perform well.
Dark paths, poorly lit entries, weak yard lighting, and unreliable exterior fixtures can create safety issues and limit how the property is used after sunset. If you are adding new outdoor lighting, upgrading old fixtures, or trying to improve visibility around walkways, patios, landscaping, or parking areas, schedule service with a licensed electrician.
Tell us which areas you want illuminated, whether the project is decorative, functional, security-focused, or all three, and whether an older lighting system is already in place. We will help schedule the right visit and send a technician prepared to inspect the layout and wiring safely.
Customers mention professional technicians, clear explanations, clean work areas, reliable scheduling, and electrical work completed with attention to safety and detail.

I hired Exceptional Electric to install a ceiling fan (replacing old) and run a number of highspeed networking wires in my home. It took a few days doe to the data runs routing them up a wall thru the attic then down another wall and into the basement where I manage the end points. I am very happy with the work done.Posted on Google![]()

This company was sent by my home warranty company so I didn’t pay them directly, but Sage was very professional and efficient. I would highly recommend Exceptional Electric. The technician that came back to install the ceiling fan did an excellent job with the installation and clean up. He even swept up the mess after himself which I truly appreciated!Posted on Google![]()

Have questions about landscape and outdoor lighting, low-voltage systems, exterior fixtures, security lighting, timers, damaged wiring, or why outdoor lights keep tripping? Here are answers homeowners and businesses usually need before scheduling an outdoor lighting electrician.
A landscape and outdoor lighting electrician installs, repairs, and troubleshoots exterior lighting systems. That can include pathway lights, deck and patio lighting, entry lights, accent lights, security lighting, transformers, timers, photocells, exterior wiring, and weather-rated connections for homes and light commercial properties.
Yes. Landscape lighting installation usually focuses on adding a new lighting layout. A landscape and outdoor lighting electrician can also diagnose existing problems, repair damaged fixtures or wiring, improve outdoor circuits, add controls, upgrade older systems, and help when exterior lights are unsafe or unreliable.
Outdoor lighting can trip when water enters a fixture, splice, outlet, junction box, transformer, or damaged cable. It can also happen when a circuit is overloaded or a GFCI device is worn out. Exceptional Electric can inspect the lighting run, test devices, and recommend safe repairs such as GFCI outlet installation, wiring repair, or fixture replacement.
Yes. Outdoor lighting can often be added to existing properties using the right power source, switching method, transformer location, fixture layout, and weather-rated wiring. Some projects may need outlets and circuits, underground wiring, or panel capacity review before the lighting is installed.
Start with the areas that affect safety and daily use: walkways, steps, driveways, entries, patios, decks, gates, parking areas, and dark corners near the home or business. After that, accent lighting can highlight trees, landscaping, stonework, signs, or architectural features without over-lighting the property.
It depends on the fixture type, distance, brightness needs, controls, and existing electrical system. Low-voltage lighting is common for landscape fixtures and accent lighting. Line-voltage lighting may be used for certain wall packs, security fixtures, exterior building lights, or commercial applications. A licensed electrician can recommend the safer setup for your property.
Yes. Older outdoor lighting systems may have weak transformers, corroded fixtures, damaged wire, poor connections, broken timers, mismatched bulbs, or layouts that no longer fit the property. Exceptional Electric can troubleshoot the system and recommend repairs, LED lighting upgrades, control improvements, or new fixture placement.
