Outdoor Landscape Lighting Installation: Where the Light Should Go|Thinking About Landscape Lighting and What It Should Cost You in Effort

What landscape lighting is for Landscape lighting lights the yard rather than the building: paths, plantings, trees, steps and the walk up to the front door. The goal is light you see the effect of, not fixtures you count. Done badly, it looks like an airport runway down the driveway. What usually gets lit Most plans start with the path to the door, because that is the part you use whether or not anybody is looking. Uplighting on the trees worth showing changes the whole f

Lighting for Events and Parties: Weddings, Parties and Everything in Between|Planning Event Lighting|Outdoor Party Lighting That Works: The Honest Checklist

What temporary means here The distinction is worth making: permanent systems are infrastructure, event lighting is staging. A wedding, a graduation party, a corporate evening, an anniversary: the lighting exists for a single evening.

Permanent LED Lights, Inside the Channel, Plainly Explained|How Permanent LED Lights Work: A Homeowner's Explanation|Should You Know What Is on Your Roof? Yes, and Here Is Why

But it is worth knowing what you are buying, since the detail in the answer says a lot. The people who explain it plainly are generally the ones doin

Custom Outdoor Lighting Plans: What a Real Design Contains|What Makes a Lighting Design Custom? Here Is How to Check|Why Custom Design Matters in Outdoor Lighting

Every quote calls itself custom Custom appears on almost every outdoor lighting quote in existence. It costs nothing to say and it is not a claim anybody checks. The test is not what they say. It is what you get to look at before you were asked to decide.Keep that in mind through the whole process. A package starts with a number and works backward. A design starts from the property. Both are legitimate ways to sell. Only one of them is designed for you, and you deserve to k

Picking an Outdoor Lighting Company Six Questions Worth Asking|What Separates One Outdoor Lighting Company From Another

The people who thought about that in October are the ones not on a ladder in the cold.And that is unfortunate, because the second half is the one that costs you if it is not covered. Anybody can hang lights in November. The real question is what happens after. That question is worth asking before you book, not the

Accent Lighting: How to Use It Without Overdoing It|What Is Accent Lighting? Here Is the Distinction|Using Accent Lighting Well

Accent lighting is defined by what it does not light The difference between accent lighting and general lighting is the question being asked. It is not coverage. One feature, chosen on purpose, while everything around it stays dark. The dark part is not a gap in the plan. It is the reason the lit thing stands out.The concept is simple to say and hard to hold to. Pick the handful worth seeing and stop there. The pull is always toward adding, and holding it is the entire skil

Lighting for Patios and Outdoor Living, What Makes an Outdoor Room Work After Dark|How to Light a Patio? Start With How You Use It|Patio Lighting That Gets Used and Why It Is Not the Same as Curb Appeal

Two sides, two purposes The front of a property gets judged from the street. The patio is for people sitting in it. Everything changes when you become the audience from within. Nobody is grading the back yard from the street. What matters is whether people stay out there past nine.The short version: the patio deserves its own plan. The front and the back need different work, and one light over the door is the usual result of not planning it. Two spaces, two separate sets of
