In July this year Lite Visions won several award winning lighting designs when we attended the annual Sterling landscape lighting summit in Danville Virginia. We learned about new products to incorporate into our eye catching landscape lighting designs that elevate our clients property and also in our lighting design challenge we got to put them to use over a three day period. Janet Lennox Moyer a renowned lighting designer and Eleftheria Deko, who has won many many awards for her stunning lighting designs https://edeko.gr/ Eleftheria lit the Olympics in Greece as well as the Acropolis and many other lighting design projects and her and Jan were the judges for our landscape lighting challenge this year. Our project near the lake was a huge area and our team took the challenge and not only worked right up till the last second making adjustments, but were able to capture our entire project reflecting in the lakes surface. It was a moment to remember when our project ,which was the last to be unveiled was switched on. Not only did our team win one ,but three awards this year. Thanks to Sterling lighting for their landscape lighting fixtures and to the beautiful venue in Danville and Averett university for once again hosting our annual summit. Coming from my concert and stage lighting background ,I enjoy meeting and collaborating with lighting designers from all over the USA during the lighting summit.

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 today to see your property at night looking like the amazing work of art you see in the daytime.

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.

Lite Visions Landscape Lighting is not your average run of the mill lighting designer. Joe has went From lighting up the stars to lighting under the Stars.
Light Visions has over 35 years in the live entertainment industry ,working on many different types of projects from helping to illuminate a symphony to the Christmas sensation the Trans Siberian Orchestra.
We use many of the same theatrical techniques to create a beautiful,yet very softly illuminated scene for your property that creates a beautiful backdrop for you to enjoy in the evening hours. Lite Visions Landscape Lighting takes pride in our custom lighting design work and while we primarily work in the Raleigh NC area,we have illuminated clients homes from the coast to the mountains and even as far away as Las Vegas.
Unfortunately, many people in our industry do simple cookie cutter jobs that a lighting rep showed them how to do.That usually means lighting one thing with one fixture one sided with no knowledge of lamp types ,shielding the light or any real design other than sticking a fixture in the ground.
We are very proud to be chosen by Coastal Source to be an installer for their concert quality outdoor audio systems in 2022.

From lighting up the stars to lighting under the Stars
Lite Visions Landscape Lighting’s owner Joe comes from a concert and theatrical lighting background and will use a few of those lighting techniques to make your home and property into a night time resort oasis. Lite Visions landscape lighting uses only the best lighting fixtures and equipment available to the professional. Joe looks at things in a more artistic manner and lights things up as your eye sees them ,not flat and one sided as many people who install landscape lighting in the area seem to do ,we see quite a few bad lighting jobs driving out of neighborhoods in the evenings when leaving clients homes. Many installers seem to think more lumens is better on a lot of things they light and this is not usually the case with landscape lighting. Most times less lumens is more with a properly shielded lamp source to hide the light from view when walking past.

EXHIBITOR SPOTLIGHT: LITE VISIONS LANDSCAPE LIGHTING
Dec 23, 2019, 16:11 PM
We’re excited to announce that Lite Visions Landscape Lighting Inc is a sponsor of the 2020 Downtown Raleigh Home Show, happening January 24-26, 2020 at the Raleigh Convention Center. You can find this innovative landscape lighting company at booth #1132 at the show. Before you visit them, enjoy our brief interview with Joseph Yanulevich.
What are your best home or garden tips for this season?
Make sure if you hire an outdoor landscape lighting designer that they are not using cheap Chinese lighting fixtures or low-quality transformers that you yourself can buy online or at a big box store. I have replaced several of these lighting installations and some of the fixtures were falling apart.
What are your featured items this season? (sales, popular services, show specials, etc.)
The most popular item is our FREE annual maintenance contact, where we come out and re-adjust your lighting if needed as well as cleaning fixtures and checking timers. We also give a 3-year guarantee on our installations above and beyond any manufacturer warranty. No One else will give you that kind of guarantee.
What are your home or garden pet peeves?
Bad outdoor lighting, I recently did a beautiful new home in Hastentree in Wake Forest. The couple asked to drive thru the neighborhood and look at the lighting they liked. After riding thru and looking with them I can’t believe how many bad lighting designs we all saw. Lighting design is about proper knowledge of color temperature as well as beam spreads and wattage. There is nothing that looks worse than a beautiful crepe myrtle lit with a too-white light making it look unnatural. Also, wasting lighting on such trees as pine trees.
What is the strangest client request you’ve ever received?
Probably the email from a person requesting me to install a cheap Chinese fixture package that they bought themselves online.I would never do that because I have to stand behind my work for a long time. Lite Visions does not cut corners on installations or use inferior lighting equipment.
Any additional company info you’d like to include?
Lite Visions’ owner, Joe has over 35 years of experience as a lighting technician and lighting designer. Joe has worked with many bands and concert acts over the years from starting his career with local NC music favorites The Embers and Nantucket to working with Tim Mcgraw, and Alan Jackson.

. Here are a few outdoor landscape lighting techniques we use at Lite Visions Landscape Lighting for developing distinctive and functional designs to put your property in the best light when the sun sets.
Up Lighting Example
Up-Lighting – Offering a greater contrast effect than typical wall-washing with floodlights, Lighting fixtures are placed closer to a building for a bolder effect. The goal is to focus guest’s attention to the most beautiful or intriguing parts of your landscape. This may relate to the architectural features of your home or, features in the landscape such as trees, statues, or fountains.
Silhouetting – By placing a fixture behind the feature, aimed towards an adjacent wall, you can create an illuminated backdrop. This landscape lighting technique creates intrigue by using lighting to make interesting outlines or profiles of features. Similar to up-lighting, spotlights and well lights work best to create these dramatic shapes.
Shadowing – A similar technique to silhouetting, shadowing also places the fixture towards the base of the feature, aimed towards an adjacent wall. However, the goal is to create a softer shadow, and often works best with a tree that has open, delicate foliage. The effect of the tree’s movement in the wind is sure to add drama to any home facade. Spotlights, well lights, and floodlights can help you achieve this effect.
Moonlighting – Create moonlighting techniques by placing a downlight fixture with a full glare guard high up inside a tree and angled downwards. This effect looks like moonlight shining down through the branches. It causes attractive shadow patterns on the ground to appear, plus it provides a very natural and beautiful lighting effect. This effect works best with open-branched trees.
Downlighting – The down-lighting technique is similar to the moonlighting technique, although brighter and less subtle. Place a fixture high up, inside a feature like a trellis, tree, or eave, and cast downwards over a large area. Place the light higher if you intend to illuminate a large portion of the yard, and lower if you wish to illuminate a path or garden.
Allow Lite Visions the outdoor lighting experts to help you figure out what outdoor lighting techniques work best for your home and property
Getting a professional outdoor landscape lighting design is better than doing it yourself for a several important reasons. Of course, as a landscape lighting company we may seem a bit biased. But Lite Visions is extremely proud of the work we do here, and we love it! So we put together a few benefits our customers love from our lighting services. We hope you enjoy!
SAVINGS
You save a few different things by hiring Lite Visions for your professional landscape lighting. The first thing you save is money. We know, that sounds crazy. Most of the time when you buy lights yourself you do not get the best quality lights that last. So you wind up spending more money on replacing them when with us you would never spend money on light replacements. Gotta love our warranty! Improper setup of your lights can also cause them to not last as long.
Time is another factor. Landscape lighting is a project. It’s not like buying a new tire for your car, which some people still outsource. Unless you happen to have experience in this field you are going to have to do research to figure out how to set everything up. How hard could it be? Well, there are some things you need to know about wiring like how much for different lights voltage drop etc. You’ll need to know how big of a transformer to buy in order to power all your lights as well as how to check amps and wiring loads. We could go on, but the point is you save a lot of time by hiring Lite Visions landscape lighting company, and you actually get to enjoy the experience of lighting your beautiful home and property.
The last thing you save on is tiresome rearranging of your lights. Lite visions is a professional landscape lighting designer. That means we figure out exactly what you want, give you our advice on opportunities we see at your home, and execute so you never have to worry about it again. You won’t want to rearrange your lights as much, because you’ll know Lite visions got it right the first time.
QUALITY
Professional outdoor landscape lighting is Lite visions business. It is what we do. When you work with us, you get the best quality landscape lighting products and designs for your home. We know what works and what does not work. Our designer may have ideas after seeing your home that you haven’t even thought of yet. We have done this at a lot of homes,even with an architect’s drawing, so we seldom run into situations that we have not already seen before.
PROPERTY VALUE
In addition to improving how your home looks, it also increases your property value . The obvious one is that it will help you sell your home if that time ever comes. The second reason is that people will think your home looks much better if it has professional outdoor landscape lighting. So, not only is your home more valuable after a professional outdoor lighting job, but its curb appeal also shines.
GET WHAT YOU WANT
Have you ever tried to put something together and it didn’t quite look right? That’s how things sometimes turn out when you do landscape lighting yourself. Why is that? We believe it is because there is an art to what we do. We paint your landscape with light. There is also a science to it. Like we said before, we have done this before and we know what works and what doesn’t. When you sign up with us, we work with you to find out exactly what you are looking for and make sure you get exactly what you want. That’s part of what makes Lite Visions professional outdoor landscape lighting professional.
