Discover your own resort oasis in your backyard. Layered landscape lighting makes it possible after dark. Lite Visions designs and installs it with a stage designer’s eye.
Who designs the lighting at Lite Visions?
Joe Yanulevich is a longtime Raleigh native and homeowner. He brings 35+ years of concert and theatrical lighting to every property. His work has earned Masters of Landscape Lighting recognition. He shares that experience with homes in Raleigh, Wake Forest, Durham, Chapel Hill, Cary and Hillsborough.
Why does one light rarely do the job?
Joe often drives out of neighborhoods in the evening after finishing an installation. Along the way, he notices many lighting systems that could look much better. Often a large object gets just one bright fixture. It may really need several lights at lower output to look its best.
Picasso used many brush strokes to paint a masterpiece. Good landscape lighting works the same way. A huge tree usually needs more than one stroke of light up the center.

What causes harsh hot spots?
Fixture placement matters. A light set too close to a tree trunk can create a harsh hot spot. The same happens near a home’s foundation. A lamp that is too bright makes it worse.
Instead of a soft glow, you see a bright patch where the light starts. Layered landscape lighting solves this. Several gentle sources blend together into one natural scene.
Our signature look is warm 2700K light, soft and low, with no glare. See more in Avoiding Glare in Outdoor Lighting.
How does it all come together?
Every project begins with a daytime consultation at your home. After installation, Joe returns at night to fine-tune each fixture. The result is a backyard that feels like your own resort. For more ideas, read Creating a Nighttime Oasis with Landscape Lighting.
