Common Questions
Outdoor Lighting FAQs
Do I need a permit for outdoor lighting installation in NJ?
It depends on the scope. Installing a new outdoor circuit or running new wiring typically requires an electrical permit in NJ. Replacing an existing fixture usually does not. Malfettone Electric assesses your project and handles all required permits across every Hudson County municipality.
What types of outdoor lighting do you install?
We install security floodlights, motion-sensor lights, landscape and pathway lighting, wall sconces and post lanterns, soffit and fascia lighting, string light circuits, and smart outdoor lighting systems. All outdoor work uses weatherproof boxes, outdoor-rated wire, and GFCI-protected circuits.
How much does outdoor lighting installation cost in NJ?
A single security floodlight typically runs $150–$350 installed. A full landscape lighting system can range from $800–$3,000+ depending on the number of fixtures and circuit requirements. We provide a written quote before any work begins.
How do you weatherproof outdoor electrical installations?
All of our outdoor electrical work uses in-use weatherproof covers (bubble covers), outdoor-rated conduit or direct-burial wire, weatherproof junction boxes, and GFCI-protected circuits. This protects your wiring from NJ's rain, snow, and temperature swings year-round.
Can you add outdoor lighting to an existing circuit?
Yes, if the existing circuit has available capacity. We evaluate your current electrical load before adding to any circuit. For larger installations, we recommend a dedicated outdoor circuit to prevent overloads and ensure reliable, code-compliant performance.
