Landscape Lighting in Fountain Hills
professional fixtures, professional control, professional install
Landscape lighting either disappears in daylight and transforms the property at night — or it reads cheap and fails in 2 years. The difference is fixture quality, transformer sizing, wire gauge, and control. AE LEDs is our in-house lighting line; we design, install, and service it directly.
What's different about lighting in Fountain Hills
Dark-sky lighting compliance is required. Hillside engineering, view-corridor preservation, and proper drainage to native arroyo systems are non-negotiable. We coordinate with town engineering directly.
Permits:Fountain Hills has its own permit and design review process — handled in-house as part of design.

Lighting in Fountain Hills — FAQ
Why does most landscape lighting fail?+
Aluminum fixtures, undersized transformers, and bad connections. We use brass/copper, size the transformer correctly, and use waterproof connectors — not wire nuts.
Do you do permanent holiday lighting?+
Yes — and we review the major systems honestly. Trimlight, Jellyfish, and Everlights each have trade-offs; we'll recommend the one that fits the architecture, not the one with the highest margin.
Can lighting be added later?+
Yes, but it's cheaper and cleaner when wire runs are planned during landscape or hardscape work. We always rough-in lighting conduit during construction even if the fixtures come later.
