Retrofitting landscape lighting systems with energy saving LED Lamps.

There are many old halogen systems that are in need of a landscape lighting led retrofit. A lot of these outdoor lighting systems are in dire need of maintenance from having the wrong color temperature bulbs that either the homeowner or someone else installed to just some of the lights not working at all to the lights are just falling apart or have bad/old wiring to the plant material being 3 times larger and way outgrown the original lighting plan. I see this in the evenings when I ride thru some of the older neighborhoods like Wakefield, Bedford,Weston,Preston when leaving a new outdoor lighting installation and driving the the neighborhoods at night. These things happened over a long time due to either poor maintenance or lack of any maintenance. Maintenance on the outdoor landscape lighting would have included re-positioning lights as plants grew along with cleaning fixtures and checking lights and timers bi annually to keep your outdoor landscape lighting looking like new always. Contact Lite Visions today to get your old outdoor lighting system looking like new once again.

landscape lighting VS magical landscape lighting

Posted on September 20, 2022January 6, 2023 by admin in Landscape Lighting, Outdoor Lighting, outdoor lighting professionals raleigh

I get a few phone calls weekly that start out like this,I have a 1-3 year old lighting system and it just doesn’t look like some I have seen. Can you stop by and take a look at it. They have just ok landscape lighting VS magical landscape lighting .Whomever installed their lighting gave them a very basic install and probably did not even come back to do a night time lighting focus. I usually set up a time to stop by and see what their outdoor landscape lighting looks like and setup a time to stop back another evening and do a nighttime demonstration of what their outdoor landscape lighting could look like. Coming from my many years of working on concert and theatrical lighting I see things in a very different perspective. I work to create depth,definition as well as layers to give a property a magical nighttime lighting effect. I actually have lighting vendors who have seen my work and send me samples of their products.

Lite Visions is not your typical cookie cutter outdoor landscape lighting designer,if you want your property to look like a resort oasis in the evening hours call us today.

VISION IS MORE POWERFUL THEN HISTORY

Posted on September 17, 2022January 8, 2023 by admin in Landscape Lighting, Low Voltage landscape lighting, outdoor audio, Outdoor Lighting, outdoor lighting professionals raleigh

alt="vision is more powerful than history with proper landscape lighting" — A FEW BEAUTIFUL LANDSCAPE LIGHTING BACKDROPS

Vision is more powerful than history,In meeting with a client with a beautiful home yesterday I found this out. I receive many calls in relation to taking out old landscape lighting systems.
Potential clients only know what they have seen done when they have an old lighting system that they have looked at daily in the evening for many years.

My job as a lighting designer is to talk about my unique vision for their project.
After walking the property with my potential client and explaining why having a bunch of pathlight fixtures lighting the edges of their beautiful water feature with several places where water falls was probably not the best way to illuminate it.
I then talked about the kit lights shooting across the pond and replacing them with lights under the falling water stones to highlight each area to create a much different effect on the three falls.

We looked at also creating a backdrop behind the water feature, creating reflections in the water feature from the uplit plants and removing even more pathlights along a beautiful stone ledge wall to accent the architectural features properly.
I then asked my potential client to turn around and imagine looking out those large windows of the home at the picture we just talked about creating in the background and how nice it would be in the evenings .
A lighting designers job is to create a 3 dimensional picture for the potential client to enjoy their space in the evening hours.

Working with shadows and light to create unique art

Posted on September 16, 2022January 8, 2023 by admin in Landscape Lighting, Low Voltage landscape lighting, Outdoor Lighting, outdoor lighting professionals raleigh

Creating art and shadows and light to create unique art makes a true lighting designer. I work in many subdivisions and drive out in the late evenings after doing a nighttime adjustment of a landscape lighting system I just installed and I see many BAD lighting jobs.

So many people who install outdoor landscape lighting are not lighting designers but instead fixture salespeople who do not understand certain objects should not be lit flat with just one light.Your eyes see things in the daytime with the sun coming thru them and creating shadows on the ground and on your home and other objects.

You see things in 3d,not flat. I understand that and design your lighting system to make things beautiful and to create works of art at night with your lighting and property. Some of the photos below are examples of that. Call us Today to see your home and property in a whole new light.

Lite Visions,we do one thing and do it right. When Lite Visions Landscape Lighting’s owner Joe decided to go from lighting up the stars to lighting under the stars in Raleigh NC ,he knew lighting would be his only focus.

I wanted to give my clients the best possible value for their money. Landscape lighting, when designed properly has the ability to change and enhance your outdoor landscaping completely.

What do concert and stage lighting have in common with outdoor landscape lighting?

Perhaps not much unless you happen to live in the Raleigh NC area.

Concert lighting and landscape lighting become one to create a unique atmosphere for your home and property with Joe , Lighting Designer and lighting technician as well as a Raleigh native and owner of Lite visions Landscape Lighting comes from a background of many years in the live music and entertainment industry.

Joe had experience as both a lighting technician understanding how things work and troubleshooting things to lighting design and creating scenes and understanding lighting fixtures and lumen output.

Good Landscape Lighting requires many of those same techniques as concert lighting and using those Joe will create a work of art while painting your landscape with illumination.

Lite Visions Landscape Lighting, we do one thing and do it right. When Lite Visions Landscape Lighting’s owner Joe decided to go from lighting up the stars to lighting under the stars in Raleigh NC, he knew lighting would be his only focus.

As a former concert and stage lighting designer and lighting technician for bands since he turned 18, Lite Visions Landscape Lighting’s owner Joe searched out the best professional grade landscape lighting fixtures as well as cables and connect methods to install at his client’s homes and gardens. Joe also had many lighting vendors reach out to him due to his concert and stage lighting background and found only a handful of these companies who would stand up to his testing in the field.

I wanted to give my clients the best possible value for their money. Outdoor Landscape lighting, when designed properly has the ability to change and enhance your outdoor landscaping and homes architecture completely in the evening hours. While there are many people who do numerous things and claim they can install landscape lighting, we too often drive thru these areas in the evening and see the many poor lighting installs with no real lighting design involved, many times we are called in a year or so later to FIX others poor lighting installs.

Joe also sided up with a few mentors he found in the landscape lighting industry and chose to pick their brains in landscape lighting, from one mentor who traveled to Italy to work with the Designer Valentino on his estate to another who worked with several celebrity clients to make their property into a beautiful evening showcase. Joe also works with a few manufactures every year on a continuing education in the landscape lighting industry, helping give back to others in lighting industry.

Lite Visions landscape lighting is an artistically based design company, while we might take more time and perhaps a few visits to make certain to visualize all the options for each client’s unique situation.

Lite Visions Landscape Lighting is not your average run of the mill lighting designer. Joe has went From lighting up the stars to lighting under the Stars.

Light Visions has over 35 years in the live entertainment industry ,working on many different types of projects from helping to illuminate a symphony to the Christmas sensation the Trans Siberian Orchestra.

We use many of the same theatrical techniques to create a beautiful,yet very softly illuminated scene for your property that creates a beautiful backdrop for you to enjoy in the evening hours. Lite Visions Landscape Lighting takes pride in our custom lighting design work and while we primarily work in the Raleigh NC area,we have illuminated clients homes from the coast to the mountains and even as far away as Las Vegas.

Unfortunately, many people in our industry do simple cookie cutter jobs that a lighting rep showed them how to do.That usually means lighting one thing with one fixture one sided with no knowledge of lamp types ,shielding the light or any real design other than sticking a fixture in the ground.

We are very proud to be chosen by Coastal Source to be an installer for their concert quality outdoor audio systems in 2022.
