The Columbus Lighting Challenge
Columbus, OH, is a city of contrasts: historic brick homes in German Village and Victorian Village, mid-century ranches in West Columbus, and newer builds in areas like New Albany or Powell. That architectural variety comes with varied wiring setups, lighting demands, and often, older electrical systems not built to handle modern needs.
Some common local lighting problems include:
- Older homes in neighborhoods like Schumacher Place or Victorian Village may still use outdated knob-and-tube wiring or minimal lighting circuits.
- Remodeling and open-concept trends in newer builds demand more ambient, task, and accent lighting — often requiring new wiring or panel upgrades.
- Outdoor lighting gets overlooked: many homes lack proper landscape lighting, walkway lighting, or security lighting, or existing fixtures are too dim or outdated.
- Homeowners want energy efficiency (LED conversions), smarter control (dimmers, smart switches), and better lighting balance for spaces.
Why It’s Risky to Delay Upgrades
Poor lighting leads to dark corners, trip hazards, or insufficient illumination in key areas.
Worn or improper wiring, overloaded circuits, or older switchgear increase fire risks or damage electronics.
Outdated fixtures (e.g. old fluorescent units) are inefficient, costly to run, and harder to maintain.
Your home loses aesthetic appeal or resale value if lighting feels dated or inconsistent.
Outdoor lighting gaps affect security, curb appeal, and usability of outdoor spaces after dark.
