Looking to replace all light on the outside of house
 
Recommendations....looking to replace 3 lights next to garage doors, 1 hanging foyer light, and the lamp post with pole.

First you need to find the type of fixtures you want, as I assume you want all of these to be matching. Then you can hire a handy man to replace, these typically do not require a licensed electrician, in fact you can do this yourself if you are familiar with electrical work and do not mind working on ladders.

Don’t forget to check with ARC. Someone will complain if they can.

I exchanged mine, checked with ARC……no standard.

ARC said it was ok to replace the lamp post?

Really? Light fixtures need ARC approval?

Any suggestions for a place to purchase the lighting?

Light Fixtures
 
I took mine apart, cleaned them and put masking tape on all the glass areas, spray painted them, 2 coats. They look brand new. Just an idea.

You should also think about using LED lighting for those lighting fixtures. You should think about replacing the light switches with Lutron Caseta interrupter switches that can be programmed with you smart cellphone to turn on at sunset and off at sunrise.

Great handyman to call on but he's normally booked 2-3 weeks out and he's currently on vacation.

Locate your fixtures on Amazon because the big box stores don't carry a lot of variety! The LED fixtures are the future! Fantastic way to improve the look of your home ! Kudos to you

Local lighting places are a great place to start, like Besco Lighting Center in Leesburg and in Ocala, Ferguson Bath, Kitchen and Lighting or LED Hi Tek.
I eventually bought online @lightsonline. Good luck!

Outside Lighting
 
I replaced my outside lights a couple of years ago and bought them at Besco in Leesburg. They have a good variety to choose from. Never got approval and no problems!

Outdoor Lights
 
I just replaced mine as my neighbor gave me his old ones. I painted those, just like I painted my old ones. The old ones are all yours for $20. Will post a pic of them today.

When we had house built got cheap ones from villages, got better ones on Amazon, did it myself took a couple of hours, seven years later took them down cleaned and repainted, looked new and sold house, took another couple of hours
