Spruce up your outdoor spaces with landscape lighting

Posted on January 25, 2023January 25, 2023 by admin in Landscape Lighting

Are you looking for ways to spruce up your outdoor spaces? Have you considered landscape lighting ? Landscape lighting can take your yard from drab to fab with the right design and installation. In this blog, we’ll talk about the basics of landscape lighting design, the benefits, and some design tips and successful projects.

What is landscape lighting?

Landscape lighting is exactly what it sounds like – it’s lighting designed to highlight your outdoor spaces and provide a warm, inviting atmosphere. It is a carefully crafted art form that requires a good eye and a knack for design. Landscape lighting involves strategically positioning lights and fixtures to create an aesthetically pleasing look that highlights the best features of your outdoor spaces.

The most common type of landscape lighting is low-voltage lighting.

Low-voltage lighting is powered by a transformer that converts the electricity from your home’s power outlet into the low voltage needed for the lights.

LED lighting is also becoming increasingly popular for landscape lighting design as it is more energy-efficient and long-lasting than traditional bulbs. LED bulbs also produce less heat, making them safer for outdoor use. Led also lasts 20 times longer than halogen light sources.

Benefits of landscape lighting

There are several benefits to installing landscape lighting in your outdoor spaces. Here are just a few of them:

It adds beauty and charm to your outdoor spaces. The right lighting can make your yard look even more beautiful and inviting.
It increases safety. By strategically positioning lights in your outdoor spaces, you can make them safer and easier to navigate at night.
It adds value to your home. A well-lit outdoor space can be a major selling point for potential home buyers, increasing the value of your property.
It can be a great way to show off your landscaping. With the right lighting design, you can highlight your favorite plants and trees and create a stunning effect.

Examples of successful landscape lighting design projects

Now that you know the basics of landscape lighting design, let’s take a look at some successful projects.

One successful project is the lighting design at this home and back yard. The lighting was designed to highlight the beauty of the garden, while at the same time creating a safe and inviting atmosphere.
The lights were strategically placed to draw attention to the different features of the homes beautiful architectural elements as well as the landscape plantings around the residence.

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!

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 October 17, 2022January 6, 2023 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.

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.

VISION IS MORE POWERFUL THEN HISTORY

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.
