In December the sun is down by late afternoon, and the yard is dark long before chores are done. Good lighting is a safety thing: you need to see the ice on the step, the hitch on the trailer and whatever's moving near the barn. Baer Electric installs yard lights on poles and buildings, motion and dusk-to-dawn security lights, and lighting for driveways, entrances and parking areas.

Inside, the usual job is replacing old fluorescent or metal-halide fixtures in shops, barns and businesses with LED. LEDs come on at full brightness in a cold shop, use less power than the fixtures they replace and last longer, which counts when the fixture hangs high in a building. We also install pot lights, fixtures, under-cabinet lighting and switching in homes and cabins.

For lights that should look good as well as work, Baer Electric is an authorized [Gemstone Lights](https://baerelectric.ca/gemstone-lights/) dealer: permanent, colour-changing lights along the roofline, plus flood lights for trees and yards. Because we're electricians, the power, the outlets and any trenching for outdoor lighting are done by the same people who plan the lights.

## Why Baer Electric

- **Starts in the cold:** LED fixtures come on at full brightness in an unheated shop or barn, where older fluorescent tubes struggle.
- **Yard lights where you work:** Pole and building-mounted yard lights with photocells or timers, placed where you're actually working after dark.
- **Less power, less climbing:** LEDs use less power than the fixtures they replace and last longer, so there are fewer trips up a ladder.
- **Gemstone dealer:** An authorized Gemstone Lights dealer since 2023, for permanent roofline, flood and landscape lighting.
- **Lift for high work:** High shop fixtures, tall yard poles and signs are reachable with our lift services.

## How it works

1. **Walk-through:** We look at the space, how it's used and where the dark spots are.
2. **Plan the lighting:** We suggest fixtures, placement and controls, and give you a written quote.
3. **Install:** We install, wire and aim the fixtures, using lift equipment for the high work.
4. **Test and tidy:** Everything is tested, timers and photocells are set, and we clean up before we leave.

## Frequently asked questions

### Is it worth switching my shop to LED?

For most shops and barns, yes. LEDs start instantly in the cold, use less power than fluorescent or metal-halide fixtures and need replacing far less often. We'll look at what you have and tell you honestly.

### Can you put up a yard light on a pole?

Yes. We install yard lights on poles and buildings with photocells or timers, and can [trench a buried feed](https://baerelectric.ca/services/trenching-and-lift/) if there's no power where you want the light.

### Do you install Gemstone permanent lights?

Yes. Baer Electric is an authorized Gemstone Lights dealer. See [Gemstone Lights](https://baerelectric.ca/gemstone-lights/) for roofline, landscape and commercial options.

### Can you light a parking area or a sign?

Yes, for businesses, resorts and community buildings. We plan fixture placement and controls so the area is lit when it needs to be.

### Can you add pot lights to an existing house?

Usually. It depends on the ceiling, the insulation and the access above, and we'll tell you what's practical after a look.
