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.

Spruce up your outdoor spaces with landscape lighting

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

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.Alt"good lighting design of outdoor spaces in raleigh nc"

Joe is a Creative Lighting Designer, Not Just a Technician

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

Joe is a Creative Lighting Designer, Not Just a Technician

Joe is a Creative lighting designer, technician and an artist, which is what sets lite visions landscape lighting apart from others. We had a large wooded lot and recently remodeled our house, which meant we had to replace our lighting that was over 15 years old. Joe came out on a Saturday and discussed what we wanted and also offered suggestions. We found him to be friendly, down-to-earth, and trustworthy, so we gave him the freedom to completely redo the lighting. Joe’s “soft palette” of light fills the space and creates a picture that is calming and pleasant to the eye. He followed up two nights in a row to make sure we were pleased with the results and we are very satisfied with the outcome. Not only is Joe an artist, but he is also an incredibly nice person to work with and we highly recommend him.

 

Joe, an artist of light, has replaced our commonplace driveway path lights with downlights in trees, creating a romantic, delicate atmosphere around our residence. Now, he is formulating plans to illuminate the front entry and parking area of Phase II of our landscaping project. His work speaks to his brilliance and expertise!

Not far from our house, our driveway curves through the woods. Joe came to our place about 10 days ago and attentively heard our plans. From the start, it was clear that Joe is a talent when it comes to lighting and we put our confidence in his skill and imagination in outlining and executing a captivating lighting design.

We are elated with the outcome! Joe was devoted to our project and was a great pleasure to work with- our property has been significantly improved and we celebrated our first evening with our new lighting scheme last night.

Joe is a real professional and we are happy to have met him.

For a number of years, I have been collaborating with Joe, who has a remarkable set of skills and experience in lighting design, having started in theatrical lighting over three decades ago and then moving into the outdoor sector. When it comes to complex projects requiring a sophisticated design, Joe is the ideal candidate. He is willing to stay late in order to adjust each light, using high-quality products like Sterling Lighting to create his classical designs. If you are in need of a beautiful outdoor design, it is worth investing in Joe’s services, since you won’t be disappointed.

Joe proved to be an excellent asset to our project! His thoughtful suggestions and ideas surpassed the estimate and demo of Carolina Outdoor Lighting during the lighting demonstration. With his searching for the best lights from a variety of companies, we had more choices to choose from. For example, he had these great up/down lights which were perfect for our pergola structures, which the competition did not have. He also had RGB Bluetooth controlled spotlights to light up the forest behind our property, where the competition only had white and not controllable.

The addition of color in the forest really added life to it and was something we looked forward to using during parties and BBQs. Joe was quick, efficient and cleaned up after completion. He also added a rose filter to the Japanese Maple light to enhance the color and diffusion filters to reduce glare. We got to hear amazing stories from his concert days too! And for the same price as the competition, we got a wide variety of lights perfectly suited to the project, excellent service, and the assurance that the lights will not suddenly stop working due to a poor install.

We are beyond impressed with the work that Joe and Lite Visions did on our front yard landscape lighting! It was desperately in need of replacing and now looks absolutely fabulous. Joe is an expert in his field and offers so much more than your standard landscape lighting. The quality of the lights he uses is truly remarkable and he even gave us a demonstration to show us exactly what we were getting. His installation was flawless and professional. We can’t wait to have him work on our backyard as well! We are so thankful for Joe and his company!

Joe from Lite Visions was very professional when installing our driveway lighting, taking our preferences into account and making sure that everything was to our satisfaction. His work has been a great improvement on our 175′ long driveway, as it is now illuminated in an artistic way, bringing out the beauty of the hardwood trees. The Bluetooth app makes it very easy to set the lighting times. We highly recommend Joe for anyone’s landscape lighting needs, and we will be working on other projects with him in the future. He also removed our old lighting, which was greatly appreciated.

We are overwhelmed with the wonderful experience! Words cannot express all the positive things we have to say about Joe’s work. He was able to turn our new home construction project into a masterpiece with his impressive eye for detail, his unwavering patience, and his pleasant attitude. We are so grateful to our friends for introducing us to him and for his willingness to take the long journey to our home and give us a light show that fills us with joy every night. Thank you, Joe!

I had a wonderful experience working with Joe and I am very pleased with the outcome. His skillful use of lighting beautifully showcases our yard, while also providing extra security for us. He paid great attention to each detail. Although his work isn’t inexpensive, its remarkable quality can be seen every evening. I have no qualms about recommending his services.

We recently renovated the entire backyard, concluding with the lighting. We found Joe through an online search, and he not only listened to what we wanted, but he also showed us a demo of what it would look like before we made our final choice. When the green light was given, he completed the installation. We are elated with the results; it looks great! Joe is also friendly, reliable, responsive, and honest. He gave us exactly what we requested, and he did it quickly. We are more than happy to recommend Joe to others and would use him again if we decide to do more outdoor lighting.

It is possible to construct an outdoor paradise! LiteVisions has some great tips for creating a personal oasis in your outdoor space.

Do you need to build a tranquil outdoor paradise where you can let go of your worries? Then you need a specialist landscape lighting designer from Lite Visions to make your vision come to life!

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.

Working with shadows and light to create unique art

Posted on 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.

Protect Your Home With Security Lighting In Raleigh

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

When it comes to home security, outdoor landscape lighting is one of the most important aspects. Not only does good lighting make your home more visible and less inviting to burglars, but it also helps you see what’s going on around your property at night. If you’re looking for a way to improve your home security while also adding a beautiful touch to your property, consider installing landscape lighting in Raleigh. In this article, we’ll discuss the benefits of security lighting and why combining design with improving your overall sense of security can transform the look and feel of your house.

beautiful outdoor landscape lighting NC

Prevent Theft & Deter Crime 

One of the biggest benefits of landscape security lighting is that it can help deter crime and prevent theft from happening in the first place. By increasing visibility around your property, you make it much more difficult for intruders to take advantage of any dark or secluded areas on your property that they might otherwise be able to hide undetected. Additionally, having security lighting installed can help increase the overall safety and security of your neighborhood by making it more difficult for criminals to strike when potential witnesses can easily see them. 

Security Lighting A Top Priority

And with most landscape lighting clients being owners of large properties in some of the best neighborhoods in town, it’s no wonder why security is high on their agenda. While having a home with a large lawn, garden and pool can enhance your quality of life; it also comes with the added security risk since the property will be viewed as a potential target based on its location and size alone. That’s why landscape lighting can be such an effective solution for homeowners in these areas. Rather than put up harsh, bright light security cameras for added protection, which can make the property feel cold, you can use smart landscape lighting tricks to illuminate walkways, porches, and gates. 

And it’s also important to make sure that you choose the right type of lighting for your property. For example, traditional incandescent light bulbs are less effective than newer low-voltage LED lights that can provide bright illumination over large areas without being overly bright or distracting to you and your family. Additionally, it’s important to consider the placement of your lights as well—ideally, they should be strategically placed around key areas of your property rather than simply scattered throughout the yard. And combining security light positioning and landscape design means that you can add a beautiful atmosphere to your property rather than turn your outdoor areas into brightly lit zones that can often feel prison-esk.

Security lighting in Raleigh

Illuminate The Front Of Your Home

Another key benefit of landscape security lighting is that it can help illuminate the front of your home and make it more visible at night, whether you’re at home or out of town. Having good lighting in place around your property can help make you feel safer and more secure, especially when the darker nights roll in. And by illuminating walkways and paths, as well as key areas such as your driveway, mailbox, front door, and around a pool, you can make sure that visitors and guests have no trouble finding their way in the dark. Plus, should anything ever happen during the night, it will be much easier to alert neighbors or record vital footage from security cameras if the exterior of your home is well-lit.

Enjoy Peace Of Mind As a Homeowner 

Perhaps best of all, installing outdoor landscape security lighting in Raleigh can help provide you with complete peace of mind as a homeowner. By knowing that your home is better protected and more visible at night, you can rest easier knowing that you and your family are safer from intruders or other threats. And by taking steps like locking the doors and windows each night when you go to bed, as well as keeping an eye out for any suspicious activity in your neighborhood, you can further help ensure that your home and family are protected from harm.

Award Winning Lighting Designer

Plus, there is nothing more welcoming when pulling up to your property at night than a property that is warmly lit and acts almost as a beacon guiding you home! And who better to add atmosphere to your property in Raleigh than award-winning lighting designer Joe. With a passion for the dramatic, Joe has transformed his previous experience into wowing homeowners through theatrical landscape lighting design. Joe formly toured with concert acts from Whitney Houston to the Christmas sensation the Trans Serbian Orchestra as a lighting technician.  So if you’re after enchanting lighting elements, Joe is definitely your man! But don’t just take our word for it! You can check out Joe’s positive customer reviews online here.

Benefits of Landscape Lighting

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

 The Benefits of Landscape Lighting are enhancing the aesthetic appeal of your outdoor space; Landscape Lighting also offers a range of benefits that can greatly improve your overall outdoor experience. One of the key advantages of landscape lighting is increased safety and security. By strategically placing lights along pathways and walkways, you can ensure that your family and guests can navigate your outdoor space safely, even in the dark. Additionally, a well-lit exterior can deter potential intruders and provide you with peace of mind.

alt=benefits of landscape lighting

Another benefit of landscape lighting is the ability to extend the use of your outdoor space. With the right lighting fixtures, you can create a warm and inviting atmosphere, allowing you to enjoy your garden or patio even after the sun goes down. Whether you’re hosting a dinner party or simply relaxing with a book, landscape lighting can provide the perfect ambiance for any occasion.

Furthermore, landscape lighting can highlight the beauty of your landscaping features. By strategically illuminating trees, plants, and architectural elements, you can create a visually stunning outdoor space that can be admired day and night. Whether you want to showcase a majestic oak tree or accentuate the unique architecture of your home, landscape lighting can bring your outdoor design to life.

Types of Landscape Lighting Fixtures

When it comes to landscape lighting, there are various types of fixtures to choose from, each offering its own unique benefits and effects. Some of the most popular options include:

1. Path Lights

Path lights are a classic choice for illuminating pathways and walkways. They are typically installed along the edges of paths and provide a soft, diffused light that guides you and your guests safely through your outdoor space. Path lights come in a variety of styles and finishes, allowing you to find the perfect fixtures that complement your landscape design.

2. Spotlights

Spotlights are ideal for highlighting specific focal points in your outdoor space, such as trees, sculptures, or architectural features. They provide a concentrated beam of light that can be directed precisely where you want it. Spotlights are available in different wattages and beam angles, allowing you to customize the intensity and spread of the light.

3. Wall Washers

Wall washers are a popular choice for creating a dramatic effect on the exterior walls of your home or other structures. These fixtures are designed to evenly wash a wall with light, enhancing the texture and color of the surface. Wall washers can be used to create a visually striking backdrop for your outdoor space, adding depth and dimension to your landscape design.

 

Highlighting Trees and Plants with Landscape Lighting

One of the key elements of a beautiful outdoor space is the landscaping. By highlighting trees and plants with landscape lighting, you can create a truly enchanting and magical atmosphere. Here are some tips for effectively illuminating your trees and plants:

1. Uplighting

Uplighting involves placing lights at the base of trees or plants and directing the light upwards. This technique creates a dramatic effect by highlighting the textures and shapes of the foliage. Uplighting can also be used to accentuate the height and majesty of tall trees, creating a stunning visual impact.

2. Downlighting

Downlighting, also known as moonlighting, involves placing lights in elevated positions, such as tree branches or pergolas, and directing the light downwards. This technique mimics the natural glow of the moon and creates a soft, diffused light that gently illuminates the surrounding landscape. Downlighting is ideal for creating a serene and romantic ambiance in your outdoor space.

3. Silhouette Lighting

Silhouette lighting is a unique technique that involves placing lights behind trees or plants to create striking silhouettes against a backdrop. This effect can be achieved by using spotlights or wall washers to cast a strong, focused light on the foliage, while keeping the background darker. Silhouette lighting adds depth and drama to your outdoor space, making it a captivating focal point.

Creating a Focal Point with Landscape Lighting

In addition to highlighting trees and plants, landscape lighting can also be used to create a focal point in your outdoor space. Whether it’s a stunning water feature, a beautiful sculpture, or an architectural element, a well-placed light can draw attention to the focal point and make it the centerpiece of your landscape design. Here are some ideas for creating a focal point with landscape lighting:

1. Underwater Lighting

If you have a pond, fountain, or any other water feature, underwater lighting can create a mesmerizing effect. Submersible LED lights can be placed at the bottom of the water feature to illuminate it from within, creating a stunning display of light and water. Underwater lighting not only enhances the beauty of the water feature but also adds a sense of tranquility and serenity to your outdoor space.

2. Sculpture Lighting

If you have a sculpture or a piece of art in your outdoor space, lighting it properly can make it the focal point of your landscape design. You can use spotlights or floodlights to cast a focused beam of light on the sculpture, emphasizing its unique details and creating a striking visual impact. Sculpture lighting adds an artistic touch to your outdoor space and showcases your personal style.

3. Architectural Lighting

If you have a stunning architectural element, such as a pergola, a gazebo, or an arbor, architectural lighting can highlight its beauty and make it the centerpiece of your outdoor space. You can use uplights or downlights to accentuate the structure, creating a dramatic effect. Architectural lighting not only adds visual interest but also enhances the overall ambiance of your outdoor space.

The Importance of Professional Landscape Lighting Services

While there are many DIY options available for landscape lighting, it is important to consider hiring a professional for the best results. Professional landscape lighting services offer a range of benefits that can make a significant difference in the outcome of your outdoor lighting project.

First and foremost, professionals have the expertise and experience to design and install a landscape lighting system that is tailored to your specific needs and preferences. They understand the technical aspects of lighting, such as beam angles, color temperatures, and fixture placement, ensuring that your outdoor space is illuminated in the most effective and aesthetically pleasing way.

Furthermore, professional landscape lighting services can provide you with access to high-quality fixtures and materials that are not readily available to the general public. This means that your lighting system will be durable, long-lasting, and able to withstand the elements. Additionally, professionals often offer warranty and maintenance services, giving you peace of mind knowing that your investment is protected.

Finally, working with a professional allows you to save time and effort. Landscape lighting installation can be a complex and time-consuming task, requiring specialized tools and equipment. By entrusting the job to a professional, you can focus on enjoying your outdoor space while leaving the installation and maintenance to the experts.

There are technicians, and there are artists – and Joe is an artist

after 30 years of lighting experience as both a lighting technician and lighting designer

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

With over 30 years of lighting experience as both a lighting technician and lighting designer and spot operator with concerts and local shows. When Raleigh native Joe decided to retire from the road and traveling 10 months out of the year he chose to stay in a field he was familiar with, Lighting design.

I got so much experience touring by working hard and asking questions of people I looked up to. From TV and Video shoots to Broadway theatre and Live concerts, operating spotlights or lighting for an opening band I was a sponge, always asking why and trying different versions of what I saw.
After much research and a few years’ worth of meeting with people who were the top outdoor lighting designers in the world and looking at and researching products, Joe in 2018 opened his outdoor lighting design and installation company Lite Visions Landscape Lighting.
30 years of lighting experience
With a huge passion for lighting design and creativity, Joe sees things differently thru his outdoor lighting designs. I see a lot of not great lighting installations and have even walked or driven thru neighborhoods with potential clients to educate them as to the difference by asking what they see and what they liked or disliked before showing my thoughts for their project.
Many outdoor lighting people simply sell a cookie cutter type product, lighting a few trees with a single lighting fixture sometimes way too brightly.
By properly lighting a similar tree with several lights properly placed and even one or two perhaps up in the tree my clients are usually blown away by how different that looks including the fact they can view that tree from inside their residence.
Joe says, at Lite Visions Landscape Lighting, we create theatrical scenes for our clients, sometimes they might view a completely different experience from a first floor bedroom as an upstairs office or a patio view.
We understand our clients have this unique residence and landscaping that they worked hard to obtain and create, and I am grateful they chose me to illuminate their living space and am very passionate about creating a unique atmosphere for them to relax and enjoy in the evening hours as the sun sets.after 30 years of lighting experience
