Why Spring and Early Summer Are the Best Times for Outdoor Lighting Repairs

There’s nothing better than stepping outside on a warm evening, drink in hand, music playing, and your backyard lights casting the perfect glow. But here’s the thing—outdoor lighting systems aren’t exactly set it and forget it. Like anything exposed to the elements, they need a little TLC.

And if we’re being honest, spring and early summer are the perfect times to give your lighting a check-up.

Why Now?

Because right now—before the summer parties, before the 4th of July BBQ, before the kids are running wild in the yard—you’ve got the time to catch small problems before they become big headaches.

Think of it like a “spring cleaning” for your lights.

Here’s what we see most often this time of year:

  • Flickering or dim lights that make your yard feel more spooky than stunning.

  • Water damage from those spring storms—yes, even the best systems can get moisture inside fixtures or wiring.

  • Broken wires from the wind, storms, or maybe your dog deciding the garden bed was his new hangout.

  • Overgrown plants—spring growth is real, and sometimes those bushes love to block your lights.

  • Loose connections that shift with the seasons.

Bottom line: If you wait until the first big summer party to check your system, you’re setting yourself up for stress (and possibly a dark backyard).
