We have been providing electrical service in New Orleans for 40 years. Our licensed New Orleans electricians handle electrical repairs, installations and everything in between.
Brighten your home with expert lighting solutions
When you live in New Orleans, lighting isn’t just about flipping a switch. It’s about comfort, safety, and atmosphere — whether you’re trying to make your backyard feel inviting for a crawfish boil or keep your business lot safe at night.
At B Powered Electric, we bring light to spaces that matter most to you. From homes and historic properties to commercial buildings and parking lots, our licensed electricians design and install lighting that works beautifully and lasts through every storm season.
Residential Lighting Installation
Your home deserves lighting that makes life easier — not more complicated. Whether you’re remodeling your kitchen, finishing a basement, or adding a new outdoor space, we’ll help you plan every detail. Our residential lighting installation services cover everything from recessed and ceiling lighting to decorative pendant fixtures and smart lighting systems. We handle kitchen, bathroom, and living room lighting projects of all kinds and can upgrade your older fixtures to energy-efficient LED options. If you live in Lakeview, Uptown, Mid-City, or Metairie, our electricians know the quirks of local wiring in older homes and make sure your new lights are safe, compliant, and perfectly matched to your setup.
Commercial Lighting Installation
Running a business in New Orleans means keeping your property bright and secure after dark. Our commercial lighting installation team handles projects for offices, restaurants, retail spaces, and warehouses, tailoring each job to your building’s needs. We design efficient lighting for commercial interiors as well as exterior spaces like parking lots, making sure every corner is well-lit and secure. That includes parking lot lighting installation, emergency signs, and long-lasting LED solutions that save money and cut down on maintenance. If you operate near busy areas like the French Quarter or along Veterans Boulevard, dependable lighting isn’t just about visibility — it’s about safety, presentation, and reliability.
Landscape Lighting Services
The right landscape lighting services can completely transform how your yard or patio feels. We design and install outdoor systems that highlight your home’s best features while adding safety and charm to your property.
From garden paths to poolside areas, our team creates lighting that’s both practical and beautiful. Every component is built for Louisiana’s humid, storm-prone climate — using weather-resistant fixtures and grounded systems that keep your outdoor lighting working year-round. Whether you want to entertain guests, improve curb appeal, or just enjoy a peaceful evening outside, we’ll make sure your lighting feels natural and inviting.
Lighting for Basements and Low-Light Spaces
Many older New Orleans homes have basements or enclosed storage rooms that don’t get enough natural light. We specialize in lighting for basements, turning dark corners into safe, usable areas.
We’ll help you choose low-profile LED fixtures that won’t overheat or take up space. Whether you want to convert a basement into a gym, laundry area, or workshop, proper lighting makes a huge difference in comfort and safety.
Outdoor Lighting Electrician Services
As your trusted outdoor lighting electrician in New Orleans, we handle everything from front porch lighting to large commercial spaces. Good outdoor lighting adds safety, prevents accidents, and keeps your property looking warm and secure even after dark. We install reliable floodlights, motion-sensor systems, and solar-powered lighting designed to hold up through heavy rain and high humidity. With our local experience, you’ll get lighting that performs well through hurricane season while keeping your home or business looking its best.
Why Lighting Matters More Than You Think
A lot of people call us because a room feels “too dark,” or their outdoor lights don’t make them feel safe. But lighting installation affects way more than visibility. Good lighting can completely change the feel of your home or business. It makes spaces look larger and more inviting, helps lower your energy bills with modern LED lighting, and improves safety by brightening steps, walkways, and driveways. It even adds instant value to your property.
In a place like Louisiana, quality lighting can help prevent electrical issues caused by humidity or storm damage — which is why having a local lighting electrician who understands how to protect wiring against power surges is so important.
Energy-Efficient Lighting Upgrades
If you still have old fluorescent or incandescent lights, upgrading to LED lighting is one of the smartest moves you can make. It cuts down on your electric bill and reduces the heat inside your home or business.
Our team helps homeowners and companies across Jefferson Parish, Orleans Parish, and St. Bernard switch to efficient, long-lasting lighting that looks great and performs even better.
We’ll show you how to set up timers, smart switches, or motion detectors to save even more energy — and never forget to turn off the lights again.
