Outdoor Lighting Repair & Enhancement in Raleigh, NC
We fix what is broken and build on what you already have. Summit Lighting NC repairs any outdoor lighting system and expands it to cover more of your property.
Your Existing Lighting System Has More Potential Than You Think
Whether a fixture stopped working, a zone went dark, or you simply want more coverage than your current system provides, Summit Lighting NC has you covered. We work on any system, any brand, installed by anyone.
A lot of homeowners in Raleigh, Cary, and Apex already have outdoor lighting but are living with a system that is only partially working, poorly aimed, or covering far less of their property than it could. Some bought a home with an existing system they inherited and never had properly assessed. Others installed lighting years ago and have watched it slowly degrade without knowing who to call.
We come out, assess exactly what you have, tell you honestly what needs to be repaired, and show you what your property could look like with the system expanded. There is no obligation to do more than the repair itself, but most clients are surprised by how much can be added to an existing system with relatively little additional investment.
Owners Santiago Peace and Josh Frankena personally oversee every repair and enhancement visit. We do not send unfamiliar subcontractors to your property. You get the same level of attention and craftsmanship on a repair call that you would expect on a full installation.
Repair and Enhancement Services
From diagnosing a single failed fixture to expanding your system across your entire property, we handle every level of outdoor lighting repair and improvement.
Fixture Repair and Replacement
We diagnose and repair failed fixtures across all brands and fixture types. When a fixture is beyond repair, we replace it with a high-quality LED equivalent that matches the look and output of the original.
System Diagnostics and Troubleshooting
Dark zones, flickering lights, and tripped circuits all point to underlying issues that need proper diagnosis. We trace faults through wiring, transformers, connections, and fixtures to find the root cause and fix it correctly.
System Expansion and New Zones
Want lighting on your back deck but only have it in the front yard? We assess your transformer capacity and run new wiring to extend your system to any area of your property, integrating everything onto one controller and timer.
LED Upgrade Service
We replace halogen and incandescent fixtures with energy-efficient LED equivalents, improving brightness and color quality while cutting energy consumption dramatically. Often done without replacing the fixture housing at all.
Color-Changing Upgrades
We retrofit existing systems with RGB color-changing fixtures and upgrade transformers so your lights activate automatically via photocell at dusk and can be turned on or off from your phone.
Storm Damage and Impact Repair
Fixtures knocked over by wind, buried under debris, or damaged by fallen branches are assessed and repaired promptly. We restore your system after severe weather events and check for hidden wiring damage at the same time.
Add More to What You Already Have
Many homeowners do not realize how easy it is to expand an existing outdoor lighting system. If you already have a transformer and wiring in place, adding new zones is far less involved than a full installation from scratch.
More Coverage, Same System
Your existing transformer may already have unused capacity sitting idle. We check available load and, where possible, simply wire new fixtures directly into your current setup. No new transformer required in many cases.
Mix and Match Lighting Types
Already have landscape uplighting but want bistro lights over the patio, pathway lights along the walkway, or step lights on the deck? We integrate all of these into one cohesive system so everything runs together on a single schedule.
We Work on Any Brand
Whether your system was installed by another contractor, came with the house, or is a mix of different brands accumulated over time, we work with all of it. We are not locked into any single manufacturer and we stock a wide range of compatible fixtures.
Enhance & Repair Questions
Yes. We repair and enhance outdoor lighting systems regardless of who installed them or what brand the fixtures are. We assess the existing system, identify faults, replace what needs replacing, and restore full performance.
Absolutely. Expanding an existing system is one of our most common requests. We assess your current transformer capacity, run new wiring to the areas you want covered, and integrate new fixtures so everything operates on the same timer and controller. In many cases, your existing transformer already has unused capacity that can support additional fixtures with no extra hardware required.
Common causes include failed bulbs, tripped GFCI outlets, corroded wire connections, damaged transformer circuits, physical damage from lawn equipment or storm debris, and water intrusion into fixture housings. Our technicians diagnose and repair all of these properly so the fix lasts.
Yes. LED retrofits are one of our most common service requests. We replace halogen MR16 and PAR fixtures with high-quality LED equivalents that provide better light quality, use 75% less energy, and last far longer. In most cases we can do this without replacing the entire fixture housing, keeping the cost low.
Yes. We retrofit existing systems with RGB color-changing fixtures and upgrade transformers so your lights activate automatically via photocell at dusk and can be turned on or off from your phone. This can be done on most existing low-voltage systems without a full reinstall.
