Outdoor Lighting
Path, accent, security and architectural lighting built for mountain weather.
About outdoor lightingResort Electric installs lighting for homes and businesses across the Wood River Valley. Recessed cans in a vaulted living room, a chandelier over a stair, under-cabinet lights in a kitchen: we wire it, mount it securely and set up controls that make sense.

We wire bath fans, range hoods, garbage disposals, baseboard heaters and doorbells to code. We check equipment ratings, circuit capacity, disconnect requirements and the wiring route before making the connection.
We walk the space with you, talk about how each room is used and mark fixture locations.
We confirm your fixtures, controls and any ceiling access before we start.
We run wiring, install boxes rated for the fixture weight, mount fixtures and set dimmers. Permits are pulled when new circuits are added.
We test every fixture and dimmer and adjust for flicker or buzz before we leave.
Mountain homes often have tall vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and large windows. That changes where fixtures can go and how they are reached. We plan around beams and ridge lines and use the right lifts and ladders for high fixtures.
Recessed lights in a ceiling under an attic need fixtures rated for insulation contact and airtight trims, which matters in our cold climate for keeping heat in the house.
Long winter evenings make good interior lighting more than a finishing touch, and dimming lets the same room work for daytime tasks and quiet nights.
Lighting work for Hailey, Ketchum and Sun Valley homes in Blaine County, Idaho is planned around ceiling access, fixture support and compatible controls.

It depends on ceiling height, room use and the fixtures you choose. A kitchen needs more task light than a bedroom. We lay out locations based on the room, the beams or joists and where light is actually needed, rather than a fixed grid.
Yes. Heavy fixtures need a box and support rated for the weight, anchored to framing. In vaulted or beamed ceilings we plan the mounting and the wire route before the fixture arrives, and bring the right equipment to reach the height safely.
Many older dimmers were designed for incandescent bulbs and do not work well with LEDs. The fix is usually a dimmer rated for LED loads and bulbs or fixtures labeled dimmable. We match dimmers to the fixtures and adjust the low-end setting so lights dim smoothly.
Yes. We install and upgrade lighting for shops, offices, restaurants and lodging, including LED retrofits and controls. We can schedule work around your business hours so customers are not affected. Retrofits often reuse existing fixture locations, and we can phase larger upgrades one area at a time.
Not always. Many fans can be added to an existing lighting circuit if it has capacity. Fans with heaters usually need more. We check the load and also make sure the fan is ducted outside, not into the attic, which matters for moisture in cold weather.
Yes. We handle the electrical connections for range hoods, garbage disposals and baseboard heaters, along with bath fans and doorbells. We check the equipment specifications, circuit capacity and any required disconnect or protection, then wire and test the installation to code.
