The part people rush The trouble with shopping for outdoor lighting is that the numbers rarely describe the same work. One company is quoting a template, another drew something for your house, and the prices look similar until the lights are on.

A company that works from the building's own lines will be able to tell you why the light goes where it goes. A company that will not is

Curb appeal gets planned entirely for daylight People spend real money on the front of a house: paint, shutters, a new door, beds, mulch, a walkway. Every bit of it is judged in the sun. After dark all that work stops existing. For a solid stretch of the year, the evening view is the one most people get.Put together, these are not expensive changes. What it requires is deciding to treat the night view as a real thing, which almost nobody does. The houses that look good at n

What the word architectural is doing here The word sounds like marketing, but it points at something real. The difference is between drawing around a house and lighting its parts. One treats the house as a shape. The other reads the gables, the columns, the entry and the stone.None of that requires an architect or a vocabulary test. The useful test is whether somebody can point at your building and tell you what the plan responds to. If the answer describes your building, t

What landscape lighting is for Landscape lighting puts light on the ground level of a property: paths, plantings, trees, steps and the walk up to the front door. Done well, it looks like the yard is lit and not like a row of lamps. Done badly, it looks like an airport runway down the driveway. What usually gets lit Path lighting is usually the starting point, since walking to the door in the dark is the daily problem. A well placed uplight keeps the yard from going flat an

What landscape lighting is for Where roofline lighting handles the house, landscape lighting handles everything below it: the walk, the beds, the trees, the steps. Done well, you notice the yard and not the fixtures. Done badly, it looks like an airport runway down the driveway. The pieces of a plan Most plans start with the walk, which is the piece that earns its cost every single evening. A light aimed up into a tree gives the yard depth after sunset. Beds, stairs, walls

What permanent outdoor lighting is Permanent outdoor lighting is an LED system installed along the architecture of a building and left up all year.
