Touchstone Electric’s Charlotte team completed a clean, code-compliant outdoor lighting and power upgrade for homeowner Samuel Dejarnett in Belmont, NC. Led by technician Patrick Burke, this project was finished on November 22, 2024 and delivered the right mix of security lighting and convenient outdoor power—ideal for everyday use around the yard and patio.
As a local contractor specializing in Lighting & Ceiling Fans and Lighting Installation, our Matthews-based branch designed the layout to improve safety, visibility, and usability while meeting current electrical standards.
What We Installed
- Two motion-activated floodlights mounted on the back corners of the home to improve nighttime visibility and deter unwanted activity. The lights are positioned for broad coverage across the yard and entry points.
- Four weather-resistant outdoor outlets spaced around the exterior for easy access to power tools, lawn equipment, and seasonal lighting. Each location is properly enclosed for outdoor use to help shield against moisture and debris.
- New interior switch for reliable on/off control of the lighting, providing manual operation to complement the automated motion settings.
- 20-amp GFCI breaker in the panel to protect the exterior receptacle circuit, offering an added layer of safety by quickly shutting off power in the event of a ground fault.
- Code-appropriate wiring with dedicated runs for lighting and receptacle loads, neatly routed and secured to support performance and longevity.
This balanced setup gives the homeowner targeted security lighting alongside practical, year-round power—without relying on cumbersome extension cords.
Code-Compliance and Safety First
Outdoor electrical work must stand up to weather and daily use. Our team installed all devices and wiring to current code and manufacturer specifications, including proper grounding, outdoor-rated enclosures, and correct conductor sizing for each circuit.
- GFCI protection for exterior outlets via a 20A GFCI breaker for modern safety standards.
- Weather-resistant components and in-use protection at each receptacle location to help keep water out during storms and routine use.
- Clean routing and labeling to make future maintenance straightforward.
The result is a safe, durable installation that supports both security and convenience across the property.

- Everyday convenience from four outdoor outlets positioned where they’re most useful.
