Never Worry About Your Outdoor Lighting Again!
Worried about taking care of your new lighting and the maintenance involved? We will make your outdoor lighting worry free! Though Dusk to Dawn’s LED lighting systems are very low maintenance, we know lawn companies, animals, and weather can take a toll on the placement and wiring of outdoor lighting, and occasionally things get broken. Therefore, Dusk to Dawn offers an Annual Maintenance Program to ensure every light you’ve come to love and depend on continues to function perfectly, accentuating your structure’s beauty and welcoming you.
Annual Lighting Maintenance Program
Now that you have your Dusk to Dawn outdoor lighting in place, your home or business feels more inviting and safe and we want to make sure it stays that way. Though our LED lights last up to 30,000 hours, there will be times when you need a fixture moved, straightened, or fixed.
After your new lighting system’s one-year installation warranty is complete, our Annual Maintenance Program technicians give your entire system a thorough performance check. We adjust and clean fixtures and lenses, repair any damage, inspect and replace any faulty LEDs, and check transformers and timers.
We honor the warranties of fixtures and LEDs we installed. If they are defective or burn out before their time, we will replace those free of charge.
With our Maintenance Program, you simply sign up and we contact you to let you know when we’ll be there. If your transformer is outside, you don’t have to be home or pay at the time, that is taken care of at the time of scheduling. If your transformer is indoors, we will schedule our visit for a time you are home.
And, of course, being a valued customer and Maintenance Program plan holder, you will be top priority throughout the year if you should need anything serviced.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact us today! 314-529-0090
Dusk to Dawn Annual Maintenance Program Details
Lamp Maintenance & Replacement
- Though our LED lights last up to 30,000 hours, occasionally one will burn out and need replacing. Those under warranty are replaced at no charge. If other types like halogen or incandescent burn out, we will replace those with LEDs for a fee.
- Lamp sockets will be lubricated annually or with every bulb/lamb replacement.
- Lubricate seals with every lamp replacement.
Fixture Maintenance
- Fixture maintenance includes first removing lens caps then blowing the bugs and debris out of the lamp and socket housing with compressed air.
- Lenses are cleaned, repositioned, and/or re-aimed. As plant material grows, it will become necessary to reposition and re-aim the fixture in order to maintain its function.
- All fixtures are cleaned.
- Up-light fixture lenses will become “frosted” over time if subjected to a continuous flow of irrigation water. These will be cleaned and sprayed with a protectant to help ward off the cloudiness.
