LED Lighting Upgrades and Installation Experts
Jimco Electric provides LED lighting installation across Aurora for homes and businesses, and we can also help with complete lighting installation when you want to upgrade multiple areas at once.
We install outdoor LED lighting for landscapes, pathways, and hardscapes to improve visibility, safety, and curb appeal. If you’re upgrading old fixtures, building new, or improving outdoor security and ambience, we’ll match the layout and handle light fixture installation that fits your space.
We also handle indoor and commercial LED upgrades to improve efficiency, reduce upkeep, and brighten living and work areas. Our licensed electricians guide you from fixture selection through final installation, using outdoor-rated options built to handle Illinois weather.
Why Upgrade to LED Lighting
Switching to LED lighting is not just about brighter bulbs. LED upgrades can lower operating costs, reduce maintenance, and improve reliability indoors and out.
Significant Electricity Bill Reduction
LED lights can use up to 85% less power than incandescent and halogen options. That can reduce electricity costs over time, especially for frequently used areas and exterior lighting. Many homeowners see the upgrade pay for itself in about 2–3 years, depending on usage and the number of fixtures replaced.
Drastic Drop in Maintenance and Replacement
With lifespans that often exceed 50,000 hours, LEDs need replacement far less often than traditional bulbs. That means fewer service calls and less time on ladders, which matters even more during winter when exterior maintenance is harder and riskier.
Built to Withstand Harsh Conditions
Aurora’s weather swings and storm activity can shorten the life of standard bulbs, which is why many homeowners also consider surge protection & repair for outdoor lighting and smart controls.
LEDs are more durable and handle temperature changes, moisture, wind, and vibration better than older lighting types. For outdoor installs, we use weather-rated fixtures and materials designed for rain, snow, and summer heat.
Enhanced Safety and Lower Fire Risk
LEDs run cooler than traditional bulbs, which lowers the risk of overheating in enclosed fixtures and tight spaces. Cooler operation also helps in garages, soffits, and other areas where heat buildup can be a concern.
If you’re planning a lighting update, our electricians can recommend a straightforward LED setup that fits your property and your goals.
Benefits of Upgrading to LED Lighting
LED upgrades improve more than energy use. The biggest gains are lower upkeep, better performance, and more control over how your space looks and feels.
Energy Savings and Lower Running Costs
LED bulbs can use up to 85% less electricity than standard incandescent lighting. With rate changes over time, lower consumption helps keep bills more predictable. We handle the full installation with our in-house electricians, keeping the process efficient and straightforward.
Long Life and Fewer Replacements Needed
Many LED bulbs and fixtures are rated up to 50,000 hours, which reduces burnout and frequent replacement. This is especially helpful for exterior lighting and elevated indoor fixtures where changing bulbs is time-consuming and risky.
Safety and Durability for Every Season
LED fixtures perform well in humidity, cold temperatures, and daily wear. They are a strong option for pathways, rooflines, garages, and garden lighting. With proper outdoor-rated fittings, your lights are less likely to fail during storms or deep freezes.
Modern Features and Smart Home Compatibility
LEDs make it easy to add dimming, motion sensors, timers, and smart controls. Many systems integrate with common smart home platforms for scheduling and automation without major rewiring, depending on your current setup.
How We Install LED Lighting
Jimco Electric keeps LED lighting upgrades simple and dependable, with a process built around safety and long-term performance.
We Inspect and Plan
We review your lighting goals and walk the areas you want to improve. We check wiring, confirm fixture locations, and recommend home rewiring when older circuits need to be brought up to today’s safety standards.
We Install and Test
Our licensed electricians complete the installation using LED fixtures suited to the space and rated for the conditions, and we can recommend panel upgrades if your system needs more capacity for new circuits.
After installation, we test each light to confirm safe operation, proper switching, and consistent performance, and we can also handle outlet repairs & installation if switches or receptacles need updating.
Final Clean Up and Safe Disposal
We remove packaging, old fixtures, and leftover materials, then leave the area clean and safe. Old fittings are disposed of properly.
