Landscape Lighting in Paradise Valley
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 Paradise Valley
PV lot sizes, view easements, and dark-sky lighting requirements drive the design language. We default to honest materials — natural travertine, real stone veneer, finished steel, dimmable warm LED — and avoid the suburban shortcuts that read cheap on a $5M property.
HOA:The Town of Paradise Valley itself enforces design and lighting review. Documentation is prepared as part of design, not bolted on at submittal.
Permits:PV requires its own building permit process — separate from Scottsdale or Phoenix. Permits, dark-sky lighting compliance, and pool barrier code are handled in-house.

Lighting in Paradise Valley — 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.
