Licensed electrical contractor Shocking Electric Solutions, Inc. installs exterior flood lights and security lighting for homeowners in Newnan, GA and nearby communities, including Peachtree City, Tyrone, Sharpsburg, Senoia, Moreland, Grantville, Carrollton, Fayetteville, and Riverdale. We choose the right fixtures and controls, run safe outdoor wiring, and mount lights where they cover your driveway, yard, and entrances.

Why Add Exterior Flood Lights?

Good outdoor lighting makes a home safer and easier to use after dark. Flood lights cover driveways, walkways, and yards so you can see where you are walking and unload the car without stepping into the dark. Well-aimed lighting also removes shadowed corners around doors, garages, and gates, which is why many homeowners pair flood lights with motion sensors for security.

LED Flood Light Fixtures

Most new flood lights are LED. Compared with older halogen and incandescent flood lamps, LED fixtures use less electricity, last much longer, and run cooler. They come in a range of brightness levels and color temperatures. We help you pick the output, beam spread, and number of heads so the light covers the area you need without blinding neighbors or shining into windows.

Motion Sensors, Photocells, and Timers

The right control makes flood lights more useful and keeps them from running all night when you do not need them. Motion sensors turn lights on when someone walks or drives into the area. Dusk-to-dawn photocells turn lights on at dark and off at daylight automatically. Timers and smart switches let you set a schedule. Many fixtures combine a photocell and motion sensor, and we set the sensitivity and aim so the lights respond to people and cars, not every passing branch.

Replacing Old Halogen Flood Lights

Older halogen flood lights run hot, burn out often, and use more power than modern LED fixtures. Their housings and boxes can also crack or rust over time, letting water reach the wiring. When we replace an old fixture, we check the existing box, wiring, and connections, replace anything that is worn or not weather-rated, and install the new fixture so it seals properly against the house.

Code-Compliant Outdoor Wiring

Outdoor electrical work has to stand up to water, heat, and weather. Fixtures must be rated for the location, wet-location rated where they are exposed to rain and at least damp-location rated under covered soffits and porches. Boxes and covers must be weatherproof, outdoor receptacles need GFCI protection, and wiring run to a detached garage or shop has to use the right cable or conduit at the proper depth. If a new light needs its own circuit, we check your panel for capacity first. Shocking Electric Solutions, Inc. follows the electrical code adopted in Georgia and pulls permits where the local jurisdiction requires one.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you add a flood light where there is no fixture now?

Usually, yes. We find a safe power source, run new wiring to the mounting spot, install a weatherproof box, and add a switch or control. If the nearest circuit does not have room for the load, we can run a new circuit from the panel.

Should I use a motion sensor or a dusk-to-dawn photocell?

It depends on how you use the space. Motion sensors are good for driveways, side yards, and entrances where you want light only when someone is there. Photocells are good when you want steady light all night. Many fixtures combine both, staying dim or off until motion is detected.

Can my old halogen flood lights be replaced with LED?

Yes. In most cases we can mount a new LED fixture on the existing box after checking that the box, wiring, and seal are in good condition. If the box is damaged or not weather-rated, we replace it as part of the job.

Can you install flood lights on a detached garage or shop?

Yes. If the building already has power, we can often tie into it. If not, we can run a code-compliant feed from the house, using the correct cable or conduit at the required burial depth.

Do outdoor lights need GFCI protection?

Outdoor receptacles need GFCI protection, and some outdoor lighting setups do too depending on location and how they are wired. We check what applies to your installation.
