Lighting Services in New Braunfels, TX
From recessed cans to full landscape lighting systems, Moorhead handles every lighting job safely, up to code, with permits pulled where required. Every outdoor circuit is GFCI protected — Texas code and the NEC require it, and getting it wrong puts your insurance at risk.
Recessed Lighting
Clean, modern recessed lighting transforms any room. We handle layout design, wiring, and installation — in new construction and existing New Braunfels homes with minimal ceiling disruption. Dimmable LED fixtures and wafer-thin LED options that need no can at all.
Landscape & Pathway Lighting
Professionally designed landscape lighting adds curb appeal, safety, and property value. Path and walkway lighting, tree and garden uplighting, driveway edge lighting — low-voltage and line-voltage systems built for South Texas weather, with GFCI-protected outdoor circuits.
Security & Motion Lighting
Properly placed security lighting deters intruders and lights up entry points. Motion-activated LED floodlights, dusk-to-dawn photocell lights, and camera-integrated systems. We place them to eliminate dark zones around your property perimeter.
LED Upgrades
In South Texas, your lights run longer hours — especially outdoor and security lighting. LED upgrades cut energy use by up to 75% and pay for themselves within 1–2 years on your AEP Texas bill. Whole-home conversion, outdoor fixture upgrades, under-cabinet LED strips, and an energy savings assessment included.
Smart Lighting
Control your home's lighting from your phone. We install smart switches, dimmers, and automation systems compatible with Alexa, Google Home, and Apple HomeKit. Automated schedules, scene programming, and security lighting automation — control everything even while you're away.
Outdoor Living Lighting
New Braunfels’ outdoor living season runs nearly year-round. We wire and install lighting for patios, pergolas, outdoor kitchens, and pool areas — patio and pergola ceiling lighting, outdoor kitchen task lighting, string light power points, and pool/spa GFCI lighting circuits. All built to handle South Texas heat and humidity.
Interior Fixture Installation
Replacing a chandelier, adding pendant lights over the kitchen island, or installing wall sconces? Chandelier and pendant installation, wall sconces, vanity lights, under-cabinet lighting, and ceiling fan with light kit installation — all to code.
Pool & Spa Lighting
Pool and spa lighting requires specific GFCI protection and weatherproof wiring under Texas code. We install, replace, and repair all pool lighting to current NEC standards — including LED color-changing pool lights and proper bonding and grounding.
Lighting Repair & Troubleshooting
Flickering lights, dead fixtures, or outdoor lights that won't stay on? We diagnose and repair all types of lighting issues — same day in most cases. Faulty dimmers, GFCI tripping on outdoor lights, and landscape lighting system repair.
Lighting Built for South Texas Living
New Braunfels’ climate and outdoor lifestyle create lighting needs that national chain electricians don't understand:
- Year-round outdoor living — Patios, pergolas, and outdoor kitchens get used almost year-round. Outdoor circuits, weatherproof fixtures, and GFCI protection are essentials, not upgrades.
- Storm surge risk — Summer lightning regularly spikes voltage and kills outdoor fixtures. We recommend surge-protected outdoor circuits and weatherproof LED fixtures rated for South Texas humidity and temperature swings.
- AEP Texas energy bills — With A/C running hard from April to October, lighting is a meaningful chunk of your bill. A full LED upgrade with smart dimming typically saves $200–$400 per year.
- Curb appeal and home value — Comal County realtors consistently flag landscape lighting as one of the highest-ROI exterior upgrades before a sale. We document lighting upgrades for pre-listing projects.
How It Works
- Free quote and design consult — We assess what you want and recommend fixture placement and circuit requirements. Flat-rate quote on the spot.
- Permit pulled if required — New circuits for outdoor, pool, or major indoor lighting require permits. We handle all of it.
- Installation day — On time, home protected, clean install. Most residential lighting jobs done in a single visit.
- Inspection and testing — Every fixture tested, GFCI confirmed on all outdoor circuits, any required city inspection coordinated.
- Walkthrough and handoff — We show you how smart controls work and leave you with full documentation.
