Hi-Lite Electric provides professional outdoor lighting installation and service for residential and commercial properties throughout Glen Ellyn and the surrounding DuPage County area. We are a family-owned electrical contractor with the equipment, training, and local knowledge to handle projects of any scale, from a single fixture to a full exterior lighting plan.
Every outdoor lighting project in Glen Ellyn starts with a conversation about what you want to accomplish, and for more involved scopes, an on-site visit is often the right first step to assess the property layout, existing wiring, and fixture placement before we provide a project quote. Once the scope is clear, we schedule efficiently and show up when we say we will. Our crew works cleanly and leaves the property the way we found it when the work is done.

Glen Ellyn’s established neighborhoods near downtown and Lake Ellyn include a significant number of mid-century and pre-war homes, many of which have aging wiring and panels that factor directly into what outdoor lighting circuits can support, and our team accounts for all of that before a single fixture goes in. Beyond the current project, we are glad to serve as a planning resource for whatever electrical upgrades or expansions you are thinking about next, whether that is EV charger installation, additional exterior circuits, or a full electrical panel service to support growing load demands. Hi-Lite works across both residential and commercial properties, so we can be the same trusted resource for your home and your business.
For straightforward fixture replacements or small installations, we can often discuss scope and expectations early in the process. For larger or more complex outdoor lighting projects, an on-site visit is usually the best way to give you an accurate project quote.
Depending on the scope of work, a permit may be required by the Village of Glen Ellyn. Hi-Lite has deep experience working with local municipalities and understands the permitting process in DuPage County, which helps keep your project moving without unnecessary delays.
We install a wide range of exterior lighting including landscape and pathway lighting, security and floodlights, deck and patio fixtures, driveway and garage lighting, commercial site lighting, and low-voltage systems. If it is outdoors and requires a licensed electrician, we handle it.

Absolutely. Hi-Lite serves both residential and commercial clients and has the equipment to match, including bucket trucks and scissor lifts ranging from 19 to 33 feet, which are commonly needed for parking lot poles and commercial site lighting. Our team is trained across the full voltage range commercial work requires.
Hi-Lite is available 24/7 for emergency electrical service, day or night. Glen Ellyn’s mature tree canopy is beautiful, but storm-related damage to exterior fixtures and overhead service lines is a regular part of what we handle in this area.
Timeline depends on the scope of the project, the complexity of the existing wiring, and whether permits are involved. We will give you a realistic timeline estimate before work begins so you know what to expect.
