Many older halogen systems around Raleigh are ready for a landscape lighting LED retrofit. Some just need maintenance. Others need a full refresh. Either way, an older system can look like new again.
What problems do older systems have?
I see the same issues again and again:
- Bulbs with the wrong color temperature, often added over the years
- Some lights not working at all
- Fixtures that are worn out or falling apart
- Old or damaged wiring
- Plants that have grown three times larger than the original lighting plan
I often notice these systems at night. After finishing a new installation, I drive home through some of Raleigh’s older neighborhoods. Many systems there have simply aged.
Why do lighting systems decline?
These problems build up slowly over many years. Usually the cause is little or no maintenance. It is nobody’s fault. Most homeowners just don’t know what upkeep a system needs.
What does regular maintenance include?
Good maintenance keeps your lighting looking like new. It includes:
- Repositioning lights as plants grow
- Cleaning fixtures and lenses
- Checking lamps, connections and timers twice a year
What is a landscape lighting LED retrofit?
A retrofit replaces old halogen lamps with efficient LED lamps. Where needed, it also updates fixtures, wiring and the layout. LEDs use less energy and last much longer. We set them to warm 2700K light, soft and low, with no glare.
I’m a Raleigh native, and I bring 35+ years of concert and theatrical lighting to every system. My work has earned Masters of Landscape Lighting recognition. Every project begins with a daytime consultation. After the work is done, I return at night to fine-tune each fixture.
