your resort oasis

Posted on by admin in Landscape Lighting

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.

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.

Painting a portrait and creating depth with proper outdoor landscape lighting

Posted on by admin in Landscape Lighting, Outdoor Lighting

When painting a portrait with outdoor landscape lighting ,you are not only creating focal points,but you are also creating depth to the property itself as well as creating a backdrop to your main focal points,like the home itself. Most companies who try to accomplish what we do at Lite Visions ,DO NOT HAVE THE VISION WE DO. Anyone can stick lights in the ground but it takes proper knowledge of different lighting fixtures,lamp types and effects as well as proper voltage and wire runs to create the scope of the outdoor landscape lighting design project. Lite Visions knows how to paint a portrait with outdoor landscape lighting,yet still create a elegant soft lighting effect that is not overpowering or overwhelming. Proper outdoor landscape lighting is not something you can be taught in a one day course by a company who sells lighting products.Proper lighting design must be learned over years of practice. Lite Visions has that knowledge and is glad to help make your home into your own private resort.

Why you should NOT use an outdoor lighting franchise

Posted on by admin in Landscape Lighting, Outdoor Lighting

Perhaps you love a great place to eat and like to eat there in Nashville or Raleigh and the food is the same cookie cutter so to speak.

Now imagine someone started a outdoor lighting company and decided to make money by selling his rights to his outdoor lighting name to people who might have 10k to invest ,but have no ideas of their own about how to best personalize your lighting to be distinctive. These companies usually also manufacture their own CHEAP lighting fixtures and only care about their bottom line and high pressure SELLING.

  • Light Visions Creates Theatrical Lighting Effects for another happy customer

There are several outdoor lighting franchises some in our area have been sold several times,I even met one former franchise owner who told me of the headaches he encountered in dealing with their corporate owners.

Most of these outdoor lighting franchises have beautiful websites with pictures that do not belong to the LOCAL lighting owners and in no way reflect their work or individuality as a lighting designer.

Lite Visions owner Joe has worked in the concert lighting industry for over 35 years and has an extensive background as a lighting technician and a lighting designer and works closely with his clients to provide a unique and distinctive lighting design to transform their property and provide stunning nighttime lighting effects.

Lite Visions attends continuing education on outdoor low voltage lighting and is fully insured as well as being a member of the Association of outdoor lighting professionals.

Lighting design techniques are developed over years of experience. You cannot learn the lighting business from a book, it takes time as well as many years of experience.
