New Construction Electrical
Complete residential electrical for new custom homes and ground-up projects — plan review, rough-in, service coordination, trim, and final inspection, built around the builder's schedule.
Landscape & Outdoor Lighting
Landscape & Outdoor Lighting
Outdoor lighting is an electrical project — circuits, transformers, controls, and wiring rated for the weather. JIC Electric installs it as part of new construction, a remodel, or on its own for homes across North County San Diego.

When you need it
Signs a project needs this work
A lighting design with no electrical plan behind it
A lighting layout still needs circuits, a power source, and controls. JIC builds the electrical to support the design.
Outdoor wiring that was not done for the outdoors
Connections, conduit, and fixtures rated for wet and damp locations, so the system does not fail in the first season.
Adding lighting to a finished landscape
Routing new circuits and low-voltage runs through an existing yard with minimal disruption.
Scope
What JIC Electric handles
Whether it is low-voltage landscape lighting or line-voltage area and architectural lighting, JIC installs the supply circuits, transformers or drivers, controls, and weatherproof wiring so the system works and lasts.
Low-voltage landscape lighting
Transformers, low-voltage runs, and fixture installation for path, accent, and planting lighting.
Line-voltage area and architectural lighting
Circuits and fixtures for building-mounted, soffit, and area lighting.
Controls and automation
Timers, photocells, and switching so the lighting runs on a schedule.
Weatherproof circuits and outlets
Exterior circuits, GFCI protection, and wet-location wiring done to standard.
A good outdoor lighting result is half design and half electrical. JIC Electric handles the electrical half — the supply circuits, the transformers or drivers, the controls, and wiring rated for the weather — whether the lighting is going in with a new home, a remodel, or on its own.
If a landscape designer has already produced a lighting plan, JIC can build the electrical to match it. If not, the estimate starts with the fixture list and where the power will come from.
Process
How the work goes
Review the lighting plan
The design, the fixture list, and where the power will come from.
Define the electrical scope
Circuits, transformers or drivers, controls, and wiring routes.
Estimate
A written estimate with the cost variables explained.
Install
Supply circuits, controls, wiring runs, and fixtures.
Adjust and hand off
Aiming, timing, and a walk-through of the controls.
Pricing
What drives the cost
Outdoor lighting pricing depends on the size of the system, the wiring routes, and whether it is low-voltage, line-voltage, or both.
- Number of fixtures and the total load
- Low-voltage versus line-voltage, or a combination
- Length and difficulty of the wiring runs
- Whether the landscape is new or already finished
- Controls and automation included
- Any new circuits or panel capacity required
Frequently asked
Can you install lighting a landscape designer has specified?
Yes. JIC takes the lighting plan and fixture list and builds the electrical to support it — circuits, power source, controls, and weatherproof wiring.
Do you do this as part of new construction?
Yes. On a new home, the outdoor lighting circuits and provisions are included in the rough-in so the system is ready at trim.
Can lighting be added to a yard that is already finished?
Yes, with planning. JIC routes new circuits and low-voltage runs to limit disruption to an established landscape.
