About Us

Our Mission

LightScaper is a licensed electrical contractor in California, dedicated to lighting systems — and we also install panels, circuits, and complete electrical systems. Our passion is lighting: creating effects that enhance a property's value and security through beauty and drama.

We install lighting systems built to last for years, and we handle the electrical, design, planning, fixture selection, installation, maintenance, and repairs — building a relationship you'll rely on for years to come.

Who We Are

A small team, personally led.

We're a team dedicated to serving clients with their lighting and electrical needs. Our lighting systems are custom to you and your property — which is why they take time to develop. We draw the plans in-house and select the right products, with the right warranties, that fit your home's architecture, always working to hide the fixtures or use as few as possible. It all comes back to a layered infrastructure: a system built to last and installed correctly to perform.

We believe good lighting is soft, warm, and layered, with low or no glare — and that the fixtures should blend into the landscape and become part of it, with natural patinas and materials like copper and brass.

What We Do

From design to long-term care.

Landscape

Architecture

Grazing, accent, and entry lighting that frames the home and welcomes nighttime arrival.

Control

Electrical

Panels, transformers, and power distribution by a licensed electrician, done to code.

Our Approach

Three steps, every time.

01 — Design

Walk & Plan

We study the property at night, plan the scenes, and prepare a clear, detailed proposal — no surprises.

02 — Install

Build It Right

Our senior crew installs to last: quality fixtures, clean wiring, proper transformers, and tidy work.

03 — Aim

Set by Eye

The final visit happens after dark. Every fixture is aimed and dialed in until the property reads exactly right.
