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.

unique ambiance and beauty

Posted on January 6, 2023January 6, 2023 by admin in Landscape Lighting

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.

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.
