Outdoor Lighting Installation in Reno
Licensed Nevada Electricians. Outdoor Lighting Done Right Since 1979.
At Have Lights Will Travel, outdoor lighting installation in Reno means more than placing fixtures around a yard. Our licensed electricians handle the full scope: ambient garden lights, pathway and security lighting, LED system installations, and smart home automation integration. We’ve served Reno and Las Vegas since 1979, and every installation is performed by our own credentialed crew, never subcontractors or landscaping teams working outside their lane.
Reno’s high-desert climate puts real demands on outdoor fixtures. Temperature swings, cold winters, and wind events require hardware selected for year-round durability, not just appearance. We stock our trucks accordingly and bring that local knowledge to every project, whether it’s a single-family home or a commercial property that needs full perimeter coverage. Free estimates are available before any work begins.
Ready to enhance your home or business with outdoor lighting? Have Lights Will Travel offers free estimates for residential and commercial projects across Reno. Call us today at (775) 355-6301 to get started.
Why Have Lights Will Travel Handles What Other Contractors Can’t
Landscaping companies and specialty roofline installers can place fixtures, but they typically lack the licensed electrical credentials required for the wiring, panel work, and code compliance that a comprehensive outdoor lighting project may involve. Our team covers all of it under one roof. We’re also the longest-standing contractor to participate in the Business Energy Services (BES) program in the region, a track record that reflects sustained commitment to energy efficiency rather than a checkbox on a marketing page.
Our warehouse-on-wheels model is what makes the logistics work. Each truck arrives stocked with thousands of parts purchased directly from manufacturers, not third-party retailers. That buying power keeps costs lower and means most outdoor lighting installations are completed in a single visit. We conduct internal testing on every product before it goes on a customer’s property. If it doesn’t hold up in our evaluation, it doesn’t go on your home or building.
A few things that define how we work on every project:
- Transparent pricing: No hidden fees. We walk you through the estimate before any work begins.
- Retrofit-first approach: We retrofit existing fixtures with LED technology whenever practical, preserving your property’s aesthetics and helping you avoid the cost of full replacement.
- Clean jobsites: Our crew uses protective gear and clears all debris before leaving. We treat your property with the same care we’d give our own.
- Inc. 5000 recognition: Have Lights Will Travel has been recognized on the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing private companies, reflecting the financial stability and operational consistency you may want in a long-term service partner.
LED Efficiency & Nevada Compliance
Nevada has banned the sale of high-CRI linear fluorescent lamps, and state and federal lighting efficiency regulations continue to evolve. For commercial and residential property owners still running older fluorescent systems, the window to act is narrowing. Our team proactively guides Reno customers through the transition to compliant LED alternatives before outdated products become unavailable or harder to source. We track these legislative timelines so you don’t have to.
LED outdoor lighting typically consumes significantly less energy than incandescent or fluorescent equivalents and carries longer rated lifespans, which can reduce both electricity costs and maintenance frequency over time. Paired with smart controls such as motion sensors, timers, and app-based scheduling, an outdoor LED system can add a security layer while helping prevent energy waste from lights left on unnecessarily. As the region’s longest-standing BES contractor participant, we also guide customers through available energy-efficiency rebates to help reduce net project cost.
