What Should Your Landscape Lighting Accomplish?
Stop letting your outdoor spaces get second-rate treatment. They deserve the same TLC that you gave all your interiors. Your landscape lighting should treat your patio, pool, or yard like just another space in your home. When incorporating the proper fixtures and controls, your landscape lighting should:
Boost Curb Appeal: Accent lighting helps you draw attention to your favorite features. There are specialized fixtures for uplighting trees, spotlighting gardens, and more. With intuitive controls, it’s easy to alternate what gets the royal treatment each day.
Enhance Safety: Path lights are an integral part of any landscape lighting design. Add motion sensors so they light up as people approach walkways, driveways, or pool areas to avoid dangerous spills and falls.
Entertain After Sunset: Don’t let your patio go to waste when the sun sets. Add focused lighting by the grill and any outdoor lounging areas. Have lights automatically activate each evening so you’re not left in the dark for a second.
What Are the Benefits of Low-Voltage Lighting?
We work with low-voltage lighting solutions for a variety of reasons. At a high level, these solutions require less power. That means a more eco-conscious home and, more importantly, lower energy bills. Low-voltage systems also allow for more flexible design layouts since the cabling they need has fewer code and safety restrictions.
We always include smart lighting control in all our installations, which works via low-voltage wiring infrastructure. So if you want to incorporate dimming, lighting zones, and automation like the ones outlined above, low-voltage is the way to go.
