Project overview in Southern Pines, NC
Our Raleigh branch completed a Lighting & Ceiling Fans service focused on Lighting Installation for homeowner Walter Morris in Southern Pines, NC. On February 23, 2026, technician Brad Williams installed new crawl space lighting, added a convenient switch, updated wiring, and refreshed outdoor lighting including a pole light replacement.
This project improved safety and visibility in the crawl space and enhanced curb appeal with reliable, customer-supplied outdoor fixtures. It also included trenching and direct-burial wiring to ensure durable exterior power runs.
What we installed and upgraded
- Three keyless crawl space lights: Bright, practical fixtures mounted to improve access and maintenance visibility beneath the home.
- New standard switch at the back crawl space entrance: Coordinated with the existing control leading down to the basement for convenient on/off operation from appropriate locations.
- Outdoor lighting refresh: We replaced one aging light pole and installed three customer-supplied outdoor fixtures on existing boxes/circuits, delivering a clean, consistent look across exterior lighting points.
- Old wiring removed and electrical cleanup: We eliminated unnecessary conductors and properly terminated any open hot wires for a neat, safe installation.
Safe, code‑conscious wiring and trenching
To power the updated outdoor lighting, we installed direct-burial UF 12/2 cable and completed approximately 50 feet of trenching at 12 inches to protect the run and keep it out of harm’s way. Weather-resistant connections and proper terminations help ensure long-lasting performance for the exterior fixtures and pole light.
Indoors, we ran NM‑B 14/3 where needed for the crawl space lighting and switching, keeping junctions accessible and secured. Our focus was on durability, clarity of labeling, and tidy routing so future service remains straightforward.
Benefits for the homeowner
- Improved safety and access: Bright keyless fixtures make inspections, storage, and maintenance in the crawl space easier and safer.
- Streamlined control: A conveniently located switch simplifies lighting control when entering from the back crawl space entrance.
- Enhanced exterior appearance: A refreshed pole light and new customer-supplied fixtures boost nighttime visibility and curb appeal.
- Clean, reliable wiring: Removal of obsolete wiring and precise terminations reduce confusion and potential hazards.
