The best holiday lighting for a Tampa Bay home matches the architecture: warm-white C9 bulbs tracing a Craftsman bungalow’s roofline and porch in Hyde Park, restrained up lighting on a Palma Ceia Mediterranean estate’s arches, long clean lines on a Carrollwood mid-century ranch, and water-facing displays with salt-rated fittings on Davis Islands. Getting it right also means getting the electrical right GFCI-protected outdoor outlets, circuits that will not trip on Christmas Eve, and weather-rated connections built for Florida rain. Mr. Electric of Tampa Bay does both: a licensed electrical contractor (EC13015799) and a CLIPA-certified holiday lighting installer that designs, installs with gutter-safe clips, maintains, takes down after the holidays, and stores your commercial-grade lights so nothing ends up in your garage.
Design consultations book up by mid-October. Call (813) 474-9789 or book online to reserve your holiday lighting design, install, and takedown across Hillsborough and Pinellas counties.

But repeated, large, bright, or crackling sparks are not normal. If an outlet sparks along with a burning smell, heat, buzzing, discoloration, a loose plug, flickering lights, or a tripped breaker, stop using it and have a licensed electrician inspect the outlet and circuit.
