Gibson Electric's Outdoor Lighting is a smart choice for a variety of reasons:

  • Security — Outdoor lighting may provide a deterrent to intruders, prowlers and vandals. It illuminates those who may threaten your property and its occupants, and it gives the impression that someone is present… even when you’re away.
  • Safety — Outdoor lighting helps to prevent accidents due to inadequate lighting. One 100-watt high pressure sodium light can illuminate a radius of about 125 feet.
  • Convenience  —  You never need to worry about turning lights on and off. Outdoor lighting comes on automatically as dusk falls, and shuts off with the morning light.
  • About 31 cents per day —  You can lease a 65-watt LED outdoor light fixture. Larger fixtures are also available.

There is a one-time $30 light fixture installation fee. And, if it is necessary to provide a pole for the light, there is a one-time $30 pole installation fee and a monthly $3.40 fee for a wood pole. View the complete Outdoor Lighting Fees list for other light fixture and pole options.

Gibson Electric offers a meter base protector that is installed behind your electric meter. The meter base protector diverts the largest portion of a transient voltage surge safely into the ground, helping to protect your home.  See the Manufacturer Warranty for specifics on what the Surge Alert equipment will cover.

You may purchase this equipment at your local Gibson Electric Member Service Center for $134.63, plus applicable sales tax and an installation fee of $29.99.

We offer three easy payment options:

  • Payment at the time of purchase
  • One installment on your next electric bill
  • Three equal monthly installments commencing on the next electric bill. (A $5.00 administrative charge is added to the price of the equipment and the installation fee.)

We also recommend you purchase plug-in surge protectors to provide additional protection for your sensitive electronic equipment, appliances, etc….  Plug-in surge protectors can be purchased from a local retailer.
