Permanent & Holiday Lighting

Permanent architectural and landscape lighting, plus holiday lighting, designed, installed, maintained, and stored between seasons, for homes across San Diego County. One RadPad crew handles all three: low-voltage landscape lighting that carries the property's look after dark year-round, holiday lighting install and takedown, and repair or re-aiming for lighting systems anyone installed. One quote, one schedule, one crew.

What This Covers

3 ways we handle lighting across San Diego County. Same crew, same checklist, whichever you need.

  • Permanent Landscape & Architectural Lighting

    Low-voltage landscape and architectural lighting designed and installed to carry the property's look after dark, year-round. Switching outdoor fixtures to LED also pays for itself: lighting accounts for around 15% of an average home's electricity use, and the average household saves about $225 in energy costs per year by using LED lighting, according to the U.S. Department of Energy.

  • Holiday Lighting Installation & Takedown

    Holiday lighting designed, installed, and taken down on schedule, with everything stored between seasons so you never handle a ladder in December. That's not a small thing: the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission estimated there were 15,000 injuries involving holiday decorating seen in emergency departments nationwide during November and December 2012, and falls accounted for 34% of the most frequently reported holiday decorating incidents that year.

  • Lighting Maintenance & Repair

    Bulb, fixture, and wiring repair for existing lighting systems, plus re-aiming and cleaning so the effect looks as designed, not just functional.

John is a perfectionist. He's on time, efficient, and a great communicator. His services are always an excellent value. I hired him to hang Christmas lights and also to clean our gutters. I highly recommend RadPad! Thank you!

  • Permanent lighting is designed for the property and stays year-round, lighting architecture and landscape every night. Holiday lighting goes up for the season and comes down after. Plenty of homes have both.

  • Yes, both. Takedown is scheduled when the install is booked, and we store it between seasons so it is not taking up your garage or getting damaged in a box.

  • Earlier than most people expect. The good slots go well before the season starts, and booking late usually means taking whatever date is left.

  • Yes. Bulb and fixture replacement, connection repairs, re-aiming and lens cleaning, whether or not it was ours originally.

  • It runs in order. We design the layout for your rooflines, trees, and landscape, install it, and set the takedown date up front so storage is already planned, not an afterthought. On that date everything comes down and goes into off-season storage, so nobody in the house needs a ladder in December.

  • RadPad is locally owned and operated in San Diego, serving San Diego County, including Oceanside, Carlsbad, San Elijo Hills, Encinitas, Solana Beach, Del Mar, Rancho Santa Fe, Del Sur, La Jolla, San Clemente, and Dana Point.
