I intalled my floodlight. It was fairly easy. I just tapped in to an existing porch light (enclosed back porch) and ran conduit out to the outside of the porch.
That being said, you're looking for more than that. What I'd do if I were you, is run all the electrical in the garage, and then just pay the electrician to hook it up. So, basically, you'd install the light boxes and switches and stuff. In most cities, you need a permit to do electrical work. The downside of that is that you pay 25 bucks or whatever to the city. The upside is that they then come out and inspect the work. They'll inspect it prior to the final hook up, so they'll be able to tell you if you did anything wrong or have an ungrounded wire or open circuit or something. When that's all good, just have an electrician come and tie it into your main electrical system somehow. -d On 1/4/07, Paul Ihrig <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > so my wife wants security & flood lights on the garage & side of house. > this is what she wants for her b-day! > i have already started getting estimates from 4 electricians on Angie's > list. > for 3 lights & 3 plugs in the garage it would run me 420 + me buying the > lights. > > i was raised by an electrician father who didn't show me much. > i know how to install lights/fans and normal stuff that is already wired. > > should i attempt to wire all this my self? > i have a basically book, but i am still unsure... > > any advice from the Manley men or womanly women out there? > thanks > -paul > > > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.
