Why Choose Lite Visions Landscape Lighting for Your Lighting Design in North Carolina?
As someone who has spent many years working in the concert and stage lighting industry, I understand the art and science of lighting better than most. I understand how to use lighting tools to create ambiance and atmosphere, and I understand the importance of painting with soft low level illumination.
That’s why I founded Lite Visions Landscape Lighting, the outdoor lighting experts in North Carolina.
Our many years of concert touring is what makes Lite Visions different from other outdoor lighting designers. We see the world in a different light, and we bring that expertise to every project we work on.

From hiding a light source to creating purposeful shadows

Understanding the Art and Science of Lighting

At Lite Visions, we take a holistic approach to lighting design. We understand that lighting isn’t just about illuminating a space; it’s about creating an experience. That’s why we take the time to understand your needs and preferences before we start designing your outdoor lighting system. We want to know what kind of atmosphere you want to create, what areas you like, and how you plan to use your outdoor space. We also want to see what you see from inside your home to help visualize what you will see out of your windows in the evening to create your scenes.

Once we have a clear understanding of your needs, we can start designing your lighting system. We use a variety of lighting tools, including uplighting, washlights, downlighting and path lights, to create the perfect portrait. We also use different intensities of light to create a dynamic and visually appealing environment.

Creating Your Nighttime Oasis

North Carolina is known for its beautiful plants and outdoor spaces, and we believe that your backyard should be no exception. That’s why we specialize in creating backyard settings that are perfect for entertaining, relaxing, and spending time with family and friends. We can transform your backyard into a magical wonderland with the perfect combination of lighting your outdoor spaces.

Whether you want a cozy nook for reading or a spacious area for hosting parties, we can create the perfect atmosphere for you. We understand that your outdoor space is an extension of your home, and we want to help you make the most of it.

Considering Landscape Lighting for your home or property ?

If you’re considering landscape lighting for your home or property. It’s important to do your research, especially if a company is fairly new to the business. There are two types of companies to look out for: those jumping on the outdoor lighting bandwagon to add profits to existing businesses, and those buying into an outdoor lighting franchise.

The first type may offer cheaper lighting fixtures or wiring and connections, but don’t be fooled – they don’t understand the principles of actual lighting design and are usually using inferior products.

On the other hand, franchises may offer better training, but the photos on their website and advertisements are often from the franchise or manufacturer and not of the local companies’ work. Anyone with enough money can buy a decorative outdoor lighting franchise.

At Lite Visions Landscape Lighting, We prefer to showcase our own work. This way, you can trust that the lighting you see on our website is a reflection of the quality we provide.

 

We don’t just design and install landscape lighting just to add profits to our bottom line, we provide quality outdoor landscape lighting solutions and design services to our customers. We use only high quality products, and we are well-versed in the principles of landscape lighting design.

If you’re considering landscape lighting, then trust Lite Visions Landscape Lighting to get the job done right.

Joe, the owner is a local Raleigh native and homeowner and does the design and install himself to assure every little detail is perfect. In 2017 when Joe decided to retire from touring, he did a lot of research and saw some of the incorrectly installed outdoor lighting in the area and reached out to several top landscape lighting designers in the world  https://www.winterlinglighting.com/  From lighting designers who did huge european estates to designers who worked with people too famous to even mention in Los Angeles https://gambinolighting.com/                      .

 

We are Green Friendly and recycle any old wiring transformers and light fixtures we replace from old landscape lighting systems we replace

We use only the lowest illumination necessary to keep your system operating costs most energy efficient as possible.

We are also a dark sky friendly company and can use extra shields,louvers and fixture placements along with the lowest illumination levels to accomplish this if the budget allows.

I encourage you to ride thru different neighborhoods and look at the different outdoor lighting installations and really notice them.

Notice the difference in the house lit way too bright or the tree improperly lit with just one light fixture or the path lights bent and lying over.

and then call us for a consultation to become the property with the best neighborhood lighting

working as a roadie, lighting technician, and lighting designer

I have been in the music industry, working as a roadie, lighting technician, and lighting designer for many years. I quickly learned that I wanted to be working with bigger and better lighting equipment, so I had to be constantly learning and improving. I was lucky enough to go from club bands work on huge arena tours,starting in 84 going from Kool and the Gang to many country acts as well as WWF wrestling.

tour notes from Faith Hill

With this lengthy experience, I was able to open my own landscape lighting design company a few years ago. Since then, I have been fortunate to have mentors in the field of architectural and landscape lighting, who have illuminated Oprah’s home, designer Valentino’s estate, the acropolis in Greece and more. My desire and passion is to be creative, and to create a atmosphere for my lighting design clients to relax and enjoy in the evenings.

At Lite Visions Landscape Lighting, I do not believe in a “cookie cutter” approach. I strive to think outside the box, and to see things that aren’t yet there. I take pride in the fact that I can create a unique and beautiful atmosphere for my clients which is tailored to their needs and desires.

I have been able to create a wide variety of lighting designs, ranging from modern and elegant, to rustic and traditional. We understand that our clients are looking for something special that reflects their individual style, and we make every effort to create the perfect atmosphere for them.From creating purposeful shadows with down lighting in trees to hidden low lighting projecting light across a walkway to shadow bollard lighting projecting theatrical patterns across an area,these are some of the many thing that set Lite Visions apart.

I am proud of the work I do, and I believe that it sets us apart from other outdoor landscape lighting designers. I am passionate about creating the perfect atmosphere for my clients, and I strive to make sure that every detail is taken care of. Lite Visions uses only the lowest lumen lighting available and believe in soft filtered lighting.

good lighting designs

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.

What makes us Unique

What makes us Unique at Lite Visions Landscape Lighting is several things :

Being an actual accredited lighting technician and designer coming from over 35 years in the concert and stage lighting industry working with acts from starting with local bands to theatre and arena tours.

Being a lighting technician as well , when I got into Landscape Lighting I searched out only the best products available to the professional from fixtures to transformers and cables and connection methods.

I get many calls from people who have problems with their outdoor landscape lighting not or partially not working and have seen many reasons why.

Most reasons are poor wiring connections and cheap wire choices as well as cheap fixtures and lamp sockets that don’t make a solid connection. Wire nuts that come FREE from some lighting companies make a terrible connection and some people don’t tighten them down properly.

A few photos of bad lighting jobs I have fixed that others have installed below. Most require a complete system rebuild.

We use top quality solid brass connections with allen screws to tighten into the wiring,these are covered by a silicone filled heat shrink connector that goes past each end of the connection and guarantees no moisture will get into the wiring.

There is a lighting franchise that has been sold several times in the area as well as contractors who do other work and include lighting after they took a 2 hour class by a lighting manufacture.

Also irrigation companies and landscape companies who get paid and are gone and some can’t even troubleshoot their own work if anything happens down the road.

Lite Visions cares about clients becoming members of our family as we depend on word of mouth referrals from our satisfied clients to tell others about our trouble free landscape lighting installations.

Our background in lighting has allowed us to select the finest fixtures that will last a long time,along with being able to change lumens on plants as the plantings grow if needed,we usually prefer a lower lumen lever to create a unique work of art as we paint your landscape with illumination.

We might use more fixtures than another company due to our artistic vision as using one light per tree sometimes does not properly illuminate that object.

If you are searching for outdoor landscape lighting,make sure if you are getting more than one quote,they show the products,connection methods and how long they have been in business along with their google reviews.

I am a Raleigh native and a homeowner and am proud of the fact I am a local small business owner in our community with many 5 star google reviews.

unique ambiance and beauty

You have waited a long time to find and enjoy your forever home,with it’s own unique ambiance and beauty and stunning landscape with all the things you could imagine. The only issue ,you can’t really enjoy the property in the evenings after dark. Outdoor landscape lighting adds ambiance,beauty and creates your own unique oasis on your forever home. Lite Visions can design and implement such a plan.

 

 

Discover your resort oasis in your own backyard with professionally designed and installed outdoor landscape lighting by a former concert and stage lighting designer.

Joe is a local longtime Raleigh native,homeowner and former concert and stage lighting designer and has been sharing that knowledge to properties in the Raleigh,Wake Forest and North Carolina areas for the last five years.

As an actual lighting designer who has driven out of many neighborhoods in the evening hours after installing lighting and seeing many poorly designed lighting installations, Joe wants to help homeowners understand the difference in people who might just light an object with only one fixture when it might require more lights at less lumens to properly illuminate the object.

Picasso would use many brush strokes to paint a masterpiece and proper landscape illumination many times requires more than just one brush stroke up the center of a huge tree.

A lot of companies might put a fixture too close to a trees trunk or too close to a homes foundation and use a lamp that is too bright and instead of the light looking nice and soft you can see a very noticeable hot spot near where the light starts.

Call Lite Visions Landscape Lighting today to see your property at night looking like the amazing work of art you see in the daytime.
