Aurora’s hail-prone summers routinely crack fixture covers, and prolonged sun exposure breaks down cheaper plastic housings faster than homeowners expect. Beyond storm damage, outdoor wiring connections can corrode over time from moisture exposure, causing fixtures to flicker or stop working entirely.

Our electricians diagnose whether the problem is the fixture itself, the wiring, or the connection, and if outdoor lighting issues trace back to a circuit also serving your outlets and switches, we’ll check that too.

• Hail-cracked fixture covers: a frequent repair after Aurora’s summer storms
• Corroded wiring connections: from prolonged moisture exposure
• Fixtures that flicker or won’t turn on: often tied to a failing connection or photocell
• Timer or photocell malfunction: lights not turning on or off at the right time
• Water intrusion in low-voltage systems: causing intermittent landscape lighting failures

Here’s what typically brings Aurora homeowners in for outdoor lighting repair.

Is a Flickering Outdoor Fixture Worth Fixing Right Away?

A single flickering fixture isn’t usually urgent, but if you’re noticing it across multiple fixtures on the same circuit, it’s worth having checked before a connection issue worsens into something bigger, especially heading into another Aurora hailstorm season.

Repair the Fixture or Replace It Entirely?

If the housing itself is cracked from hail impact, replacement is usually simpler and more reliable than attempting a repair. If the issue is wiring or a connection problem behind an otherwise intact fixture, repair is typically the more cost-effective option.

Should I Wait Until After Hail Season to Repair Damaged Fixtures?

Not necessarily. A damaged fixture left exposed can let moisture into the wiring, which creates a bigger problem than the original crack. It’s usually better to repair or replace it promptly rather than waiting out the season, especially with more storms likely on the way this summer.
