good lighting designs

Posted on by admin in Landscape Lighting, Outdoor Lighting

Good lighting design and educating my clients in the differences. These are a few examples of Good vs Bad outdoor landscape lighting.  My job as a lighting designer is to help educate my clients all about proper lighting design techniques. It seems I see so many BAD landscape lighting jobs when I ride out of these subdivisions in the evening that I have to call attention to them to help my clients SEE and hopefully understand the difference.

With properly designed and installed outdoor landscape lighting,there are a few things to consider as a lighting designer.

Lumens: lumens is lighting output of a lamp or LED chip

I see many many jobs where the light level is way too much on a homes architecture or on trees or plant material,causing a really bright hot spot on the bottom middle of the object itself.

 

Another thing viewed at night are the wrong color temperature lighting or the wrong width lamp which can create a V pattern going up the walls and architecture of the home.

As a lighting designer I want to create soft illumination on what I light and use a proper spread of illumination to light trees from at least two or more sides to create a portrait with illumination for the client to view thru their windows or doors. Not just a one sided vision that the neighbors can view passing by. The world we live in is not just one dimensional.

I have been blessed with the ability to envision things that are not yet there to create a private backyard sanctuary for my clients to enjoy in the evening hours,to highlight all their favorite things about their residence.

 

Here are a few examples of BAD lighting,Hot spots and not enough lighting to properly illuminate the homes architecture.

Please remember: before you hire that other contractor to install your lighting because of some advertised special or as one of their many other services.

 

Researching and choosing the right landscape lighting designer who has a vision is much like commissioning a piece of art for your residence.

At Lite Visions Landscape Lighting:

We are not light fixture sales people.

We are true lighting designers whose pallet is illumination of your beautiful homes architecture and landscape and as such we possess the ability to create your private sanctuary to enjoy in the evening hours.

 

Imagine driving home to your own private backyard oasis after that stressful work day  and coming home to sit under the stars with the beautiful illuminated backdrop behind you listening to soft music and letting your cares leave your mind.

Compare these examples of GOOD lighting design to the photos of BAD lighting.

Wow! Just wow!

Posted on by admin in Landscape Lighting, Outdoor Lighting

Wow! Just wow! I cannot say enough good things about Joe and Lite Visions! He installed our new front yard landscape lighting which needed replacing after the original became tired and worn. It is now fabulous! Joe’s artistic vision, service and the quality of the lights he uses are unsurpassed. His company is unique in that he offers so much more than “standard” landscape lighting. No cheap lights. No dotted “runway” looks. No hot spots. Joe knows his lighting and it shows. He took the time to show us a demo which was extremely helpful. We knew exactly what we were getting and how it would look at night! Installation was seamless and professional. We are looking forward to having him redo our back yard now too! Thanks Joe!

Artist Definition

Posted on by admin in Landscape Lighting, Outdoor Lighting

Artist,Definition :Someone who has creative skills and is able to see and create things others can not even imagine could be there.Weather on a stage setting or on a beautiful property or a homes architectural features. As an artist who patients with illumination,I look at the big picture of creating a painting with light that can be viewed from different angles as well as from inside looking out the window.

Less lumens is usually more with landscape lighting
Sometimes it’s hard to convince a person more than one light fixture per object might be needed to create the magic. They only know what they have seen prior, weather it was right or wrong.
Imagine telling an artist painting a beautiful photo to use less colors or brushstrokes.
Thankfully most of our clients understand what we do and usually give us free reign to create our art with illumination.
Using more fixtures on a tree or other object gives us the artistic freedom to properly illuminate it from all sides and create a lower lumen level and equally allow it to be viewed 3 dimensional, not just one sided.
The world is not flat and neither should your landscape lighting be flat and one sided.

less lumens is sometimes more

Posted on by admin in Landscape Lighting, Low Voltage landscape lighting, outdoor audio, Outdoor Lighting, outdoor lighting professionals raleigh

Less lumens is more when designing and creating ambiance and atmosphere with landscape lighting.

LED technology and internal control of dimming and lighting output has put a great tool into the hands of lighting designers.

Properly designed and installed outdoor landscape lighting not only increases your safety and security around your property,it also helps your emotional well being by helping you relax and enjoy your outdoor spaces as it creates a welcoming atmosphere.

As a lighting designer sometimes we sometimes must use more fixtures to properly illuminate an object ,think of a painting with many brushstrokes and that is how a good lighting designer accomplishes his task. This performed with very low lumens on the fixtures creates a magical nighttime space for you to relax and enjoy.

While there are other companies who install one fixture here and there with no rhyme or reason except they attended a short lighting seminar to increase profits.Our world is not one dimensional and no ones home or property should be lit up one sided.

Proper outdoor landscape lighting not only affects a person’s senses, but by creating a peaceful relaxing environment by using imagination and vision, helps the person to relax and enjoy their outdoor space into the evening hours.

Add concert quality audio and sit back and imagine the symphony playing in your own space with the relaxing outdoor illumination as you drink a glass of wine and forget about the days problems.

Retrofitting landscape lighting systems with energy saving LED Lamps.

Posted on by admin in Landscape Lighting, Outdoor Lighting, outdoor lighting professionals raleigh

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 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.

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.
