Professional Outdoor Landscape Lighting in Pinellas County | Design & Installation
Your home or business doesn’t have to disappear when the Florida sun goes down. With professional outdoor landscape lighting in Pinellas County, you can transform your property into a stunning evening retreat while adding an essential layer of safety and security.
At Pinellas County Electric, we combine technical expertise with an artistic eye to create lighting systems that showcase the true beauty of your architecture and greenery.
From the coastal estates of St. Petersburg to commercial properties across the Tampa Bay area, we serve as the premier lighting designers and installers for clients who value quality, durability, and elegance.
Enhance Your Outdoor Living Spaces
In Florida, our backyards and patios are an extension of our homes. A well-designed outdoor lighting plan allows you to enjoy these outdoor living spaces long after twilight. Whether you are hosting a dinner on the lanai or enjoying a quiet evening by the water, the right ambiance makes all the difference.
Our team focuses on several key areas to elevate your property:
Pool Area Lighting
We create a resort-style atmosphere around your pool area, ensuring the water and surrounding deck are safely illuminated with a warm, inviting glow.
Path Lighting
Stay safe and stylish with path lighting that guides guests along walkways and driveways, eliminating dark spots and trip hazards.
Architectural Uplighting
We use specialized fixtures to highlight the unique textures of your home’s facade and the majestic palms that define the Pinellas landscape.
The Advantage of Modern LED Lighting
We believe in doing things right the first time. That is why we exclusively install high-efficiency LED lighting. Unlike traditional bulbs, modern LEDs are built to thrive in the humid, salt-heavy air of Pinellas County.
When you choose us as your lighting installer, you benefit from:
- Energy Savings: LED systems use up to 80% less energy than halogen bulbs.
- Longevity: No more changing bulbs every few months; our systems are built for years of maintenance-free performance.
- Custom Control: Many of our lighting systems can be automated or controlled via smartphone for ultimate convenience.
Trusted Local Lighting Designers
Don’t settle for a “one-size-fits-all” kit from a big-box store. A truly effective landscape plan requires professional lighting designers who understand voltage drop, beam angles, and the specific needs of Florida flora.
Pinellas County Electric takes a methodical approach to every project. We work during standard business hours to provide focused, high-quality installations that stand the test of time. We aren’t just electricians; we are designers and installers dedicated to making your property the best-looking one on the block.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I choose LED lighting over traditional halogen bulbs?
Modern LED lighting is the superior choice for Pinellas County because it is specifically designed to handle our high humidity and salt air.
Not only do LEDs use significantly less energy, but they also produce very little heat, which prevents the fixture from “breathing” in moisture. This results in a system that lasts years longer and costs a fraction of the price to operate.
Will the salt air corrode my new landscape lighting fixtures?
It can, which is why we don’t use the cheap plastic or thin aluminum kits found at big-box stores. As your lighting installer, we prioritize high-quality, corrosion-resistant materials like solid brass or copper.
These materials develop a beautiful patina over time rather than rusting or peeling, ensuring your investment survives the coastal environment.
Can my outdoor lighting be automated or controlled by my phone?
We can integrate your system with smart timers or smartphone apps that allow you to adjust your pool area lighting or architectural uplighting from anywhere.
You can set schedules that follow the sunset or dim the lights for a specific ambiance, giving you ultimate control over your outdoor living spaces.
How do professional lighting designers prevent "voltage drop"?
Voltage drop occurs when the power weakens as it travels further down the wire, causing the last light on the string to look dimmer than the first.
Our lighting designers use professional-grade transformers and calculated wire gauges to ensure every fixture receives the exact amount of power it needs for a consistent, high-quality glow across your entire property.
Is landscape lighting purely for looks, or does it help with security?
While we focus on aesthetics, a well-lit property is one of the most effective deterrents for intruders. By eliminating dark shadows around entry points and using path lighting to illuminate the perimeter, we enhance the security of your home or business.
It’s about providing both beauty and peace of mind.
What is the difference between "uplighting" and "downlighting"?
Uplighting involves placing fixtures at the base of trees or walls to highlight textures and height, which is perfect for palms and facades.
Downlighting (or “moonlighting”) involves placing fixtures high up in trees to cast a soft, natural glow over a patio or driveway. We often combine both techniques to create a layered, professional look.
