Prepare Your Wilmington Home for the Holidays With Outdoor Lighting

July is the perfect time to think about your holiday outdoor lighting.

Do the thought of Christmas light displays in July make you want to say Bah Humbug! Every year it seems that holiday decorations come out earlier and earlier. Right after the pilferage of school supplies, the winter holiday decorations will begin to appear. Perhaps Christmas in July will soon be a reality and getting your thoughts together about Wilmington holiday outdoor lighting should be at the top of your list.

July is the perfect time to call Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Wilmington and reserve your space for a custom designed outdoor holiday lighting plan. We can’t begin to tell you how many people wait too long and cannot get an appointment. After all, most people want their holiday outdoor lighting installed in time for the big reveal right after Thanksgiving and there is a finite amount of time to fulfill all of our clients needs. That’s because our unique holiday outdoor lighting program makes decorating so easy. We come to your home to let you see the types of products we have available, everything from C9 string lights in a variety of colors to snowfall lighting to wreaths and garland to

Wilmington Dock Lighting Enhances the Atmosphere

Enjoy the sights and sounds from your Wilmington dock.

With July comes temperatures that make you want to be by the water all day and night. If you are fortunate enough to live by the water in the Wilmington area, you know how relaxing it can be. And while it’s nice to feel the sun on your skin and hear the birds chirping their songs, nightfall brings a special mood to waterfront properties. Don’t you enjoy those nighttime sights and sounds from your dock and relish sharing that time with your family? Traversing a dock at night, even your own, can be dangerous if there is insufficient visibility, but with outdoor lighting, you can increase the safety of the area without having to locate the flashlight each time you journey down.

Wilmington dock lighting increases safety.

Wilmington dock lighting, like deck lighting, clearly illuminates edges that can become trip hazards if shadowed. Some of these areas include the edges of the dock itself and the transitions from the ramp to the dock. Dock lighting also allows you to see if someone left a cooler or life jacket lying in your path. When illuminating docks, Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Wilmington uses many of the techniques and fixtures we use for deck lighting. All of these fixtures are crafted from high quality brass or copper, the materials used to produce maritime equipment for centuries. This choice of material makes them extremely durable. Their finish will not crack, and they do not rust, which is especially important since will be exposed to a lot of moisture and salty air.

Dock lighting enhances the atmosphere in the area.

In addition to making your dock safer, dock lighting helps set the mood for a beautiful, relaxing evening. We know dock lighting, which means we can set your lights to provide clear visibility but not detract from everything that makes nighttime on the water so enchanting. The addition of dock lighting can even enhance this mood and provide a serene atmosphere for your best evening times outdoors. Whether you have simply stepped down for a few moments to hear the sound of the water and watch reflections or you sit for a while with your favorite drink, dock lighting will allow you to soak in the best our waterways have to offer after dark.

So if you are ready to use your dock without reservations at night, give Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Wilmington a call. We will create a unique design that best complements your dock, and you will be able to safely utilize it day or night. Who knows? It may even become your favorite place to relax.

Wilmington’s Water Features Shine in the Right Outdoor Light

Waterfalls are enhanced in Wilmington with outdoor lighting

Water features are often the centerpiece of our gardens.

We’ve been talking the last several weeks about Wilmington gardens and how to best light their features. We started with garden and path lighting and how there is an art to lighting flowers and sitting areas at night that makes them come alive. Then we moved on to outdoor lighting for your Wilmington koi pond and how the right angles and proper fixtures can show off the movement and colors of your fish at night. This week, we’d like to talk about lighting for water features since these are often times the centerpiece of many Wilmington gardens.

Whether you have a small fountain, cascading wall or even a babbling brook, Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Wilmington can light it so you can enjoy it twice as long. Water has a way to relax, captivate and rejuvenate when its time to wind down after a long day. Imagine yourself out on your patio listening to the trickling stream, seeing the water cascading over a small rock and releasing the cares of the day. Now imagine if you couldn’t see that at night. If you don’t have professional outdoor lighting for your water feature you could be missing out on a lot.

Professional water feature lighting brings out the details of your design.

Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Wilmington offers professional water feature lighting design and installation. Just as with our custom outdoor lighting designs for your landscaping or outdoor living spaces, we use various techniques and fixtures to highlight the best characteristics of your feature to bring your vision to life. Part of this process includes lighting more than just the focal point. Foliage, flowers, trees, paths, and nearby sitting areas are all considered in our design process as well as multiple angles the feature may be viewed from. All of this helps us to choose the right fixtures and for the best position.

When it does come time to lighting the water feature we often start with our cast brass pond light placed inside the water to create a beautiful golden glow within. This is where you will notice a difference between professional outdoor lighting designers and those that do this as a side business. Others will place the light source outside the water to bounce light off the water. But lighting within and from around gives the entire area a more stunning look with definition in the details.

Why spend your nights listening to your water feature when you can enjoy the sites of it as well. We can light your garden to lead you to your koi pond and to the soothing sounds of your water feature and everything in between. Call Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Wilmington today and together we can create the outdoor living space you have only dreamed about.

Underwater Pond Lighting Doubles the Time to Enjoy Your Koi Fish

Garden lighting brings out the colors and textures at night.

Last week we talked about outdoor lighting for your Wilmington garden and how there is an art to lighting flowers and gardens at night that makes them come alive. Lighting the colors, textures, size and shadows all play a part in making your garden look truly wonderful at night. Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Wilmington has the experience and the fixtures to make everything from your pathways to your nighttime blooms draw you into the garden to smell the beautiful fragrances. But what if there is something other than your pathways and plants that could be highlighted at night? What if your garden includes a koi pond? Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Wilmington can help enhance that at night as well.

Koi ponds are actually more attractive at night and adding lights to your koi pond can double the time you enjoy your fish. Just as unique as the various types of fish, so is the shape of your pond, the landscaping surrounding it and the location of the pond. Each of these unique characteristics deserve to be put in the best light so you can enjoy them all night long whether you’re sitting on your deck or viewing it from inside. After all, you’re not just lighting the pond, you’re highlighting the fish, their movement and their surroundings. That’s where hiring an outdoor lighting professional will give you the best options when it comes to the right techniques and fixtures.

Underwater pond lighting lets you enjoy your fish twice as long.

At Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Wilmington, we start by lighting within the pond to highlight the fish movement. As with every outdoor lighting fixture, proper placement of underwater pond light is essential. You want to reflect off the fish to see their colors and movement, not their shadows. The vibrant colors of the koi and goldfish play off the aquatic plants within the pond to provide a stunning visual effect. This cannot be done with any old lighting fixture, it needs a special fixture that is not only waterproof, but also must be able to withstand submersion and the force of moving water while illuminating the plants and fish within. Our cast brass underwater pond light can handle these situations with ease. The secured bracket keeps the low-voltage light in place and the high quality gaskets keep it sealed and watertight so you can have confidence that your fish are completely safe in the pond with the lights.

In addition to lighting under water, we will also take a look at the ponds surroundings. Leaving the landscaping around the water in the dark will detract from the overall appearance. We use a combination of lighting techniques to make the entire area more animated: up lighting on trees, spot lighting a statue, grazing to bring out the textured beauty of surrounding rocks and spread lighting to disperse illumination on the shrubs and flowers are just a few examples. No matter what you desire, we can achieve it.

Trust Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Wilmington. We care about making your entire garden look stunning. We know how much hard work you put into making it look great during the day and we will make it look that good at night with Wilmington outdoor lighting. Give us a call to talk to one of our outdoor lighting experts today and start seeing your fish in a whole new light.

Outdoor Lighting Makes Your Wilmington Garden Look Like a Public Attraction

There are so many attractions in Wilmington but one of the most beautiful has to be Airlie Gardens. You could spend the day walking through their various styled gardens, enjoying a picnic, taking in the gigantic Airlie Oak tree that is estimated to be more than 460 years old, or even learning what to plant in your own garden.

Let your garden come to life at night with outdoor lighting.

Although your attempts at planting a garden in your yard may not mimic the scope of those at Airlie Gardens, it can still be a beautiful masterpiece, especially if you call Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Wilmington. As with other areas of outdoor lighting expertise, there is an art to lighting flowers and gardens so they come alive at night. Our copper path lights sprinkled throughout your garden spread gentle ambient light down your pathways but also do so much more. Our path lights show off the colors and textures of your low lying plants and evening blooms. Consider for example, those night blooming flowers like Brugmansia, or Angel’s Trumpet. During the day, Brugmansia’s trumpet-like blooms are closed tight, but in the evening they open fully to release a sweet aroma. An evening stroll through a magnificently lit garden with these fragrances can not only lift your spirits but also entice a some serious relaxation.

Spotlighting in your garden brings a seating area into focus.

In addition to our copper path lights that ingeniously turn a patina finish to blend in with your garden, we also can use a combination of spotlighting and focal lighting if needed for larger plants or saplings. Spotlighting these areas creates dramatic shadowing or can draw your eye to the trees and garden wall as in this photo. Using spotlighting and focal lighting in combination with path lighting creates a visionary balance that could be comparable to something you would find at Airlie.

Incredible garden lighting is not all you will get when you call Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Wilmington. You’ll also get exceptional custom lighting design, professional installation and outdoor lighting fixtures that will stand the test of time. We know how hard you work making your garden look spectacular during the day. Let us bring out that beauty at night with Wilmington garden lighting. Give us a call today to begin enhancing your garden and you’ll be able to enjoy it at night and every night after that.

Outdoor Lighting Memorializes at Cape Fear Country Club

Cape Fear Country Club

Just the other day, the oldest, private country club in North Carolina called Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Wilmington for a one-of-a-kind lighting project. The Cape Fear Country Club wasn’t looking for landscape lighting or tennis court lighting. What the members of the Country Club were looking for was a way to honor its past members who were no longer with us.

Wilmington residents may say Cape Fear Country Club’s best asset is the challenging Donald Ross designed golf course. After all, its been ranked in the top 20 courses and has received high accolades. Maybe they’d say it’s their exceptional dining and social events. Or maybe its their immersed Southern traditions and strong member culture. All of these attributes do make the club attractive to its members but if you ask those at the Country Club’s, their best

Stone memorial wall of past members.

assets are their members who have now passed away. These extraordinary people helped build the club into what it is today and is the reason for the memorial wall that stands just off the first tee. The stone wall and engraved plaque is a nice memorial during the day but the Club wanted to put it in lights to be prominently displayed at night as well. The proper outdoor lighting was needed to illuminate the names of those who have passed away. When we arrived at the Club, we knew the best type of outdoor lighting fixtures would be our LED mini flood lights. The wall is only 3 feet high but 75 feet long so we needed a fixture that had a high output but could also be adjustable. We installed seven of our small copper, LED directional flood lights along the scalloped area of the grounds to shine upon the wall, showcasing not only the texture and dimensions of the rock wall but also portraying the engraved

LED Mini Directional Flood Light

plaque of the members names. Rocks will be added around the lighting fixtures for the finishing touches to make the wall not only look beautiful but memorialize those supporters who will forever be members of the Cape Fear Country Club.

If you have a wall, a focal object, landscaping, architectural feature or anything else you would like to put in lights at night, give Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Wilmington a call. We have been custom designing outdoor lighting all over Wilmington and would be happy to show you how your outdoor spaces can come alive at night. Give us a call at (910) 342-0040 to discuss your outdoor lighting project today.

Let Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Wilmington Read Your Palms Today

No, we’re not talking about sitting down in front of a crystal ball or asking if you have a dear relative named Chris who recently came into good fortune (unless you do, in which case your luck may be about to change!). We’re talking about taking advantage of Wilmington palm tree lighting in the way that only Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Wilmington can.

Palm trees present a wide variety of unique outdoor lighting challenges that require the eye of a professional.

First things, first: Not all trees are created equal. Palm trees have a unique shape and require much different treatments than traditional tree lighting. If you hire a general landscaper or outdoor lighting designer to illuminate the palms in your yard, you’ll likely wind up with unflattering shadows and strange lighting patterns throughout the night. Here are just a few challenges to consider for your Wilmington palm tree lighting:

All palm trees have a unique crown shape that differs from other types of trees in Wilmington. Palm tree lighting designs depend on the proportion of this crown to the length of the trunk. Some palms also have a crownshaft – the part of the tree that connects the crown to the trunk. In every case, Wilmington palm tree lighting is case by case and depends entirely on the trees in your yard.

Palmetto Palm: These are the traditional-looking trees most people tend to associate with palms. They can grow anywhere from 30-40 feet tall in Wilmington, so quite a bit of work goes into illuminating the full structure from top to bottom. Ask your expert at Outdoor Lighting Perspecitves of Wilmington about how to properly choose placement, bulbs and wattage to light up this palm.

Dwarf Palmetto: This one’s a much smaller, fan palm whose trunk remains below ground. They can grow anywhere from 1-5 feet lengthwise and in width. Obviously, the dwarf palmetto requires a much different treatment than its much larger relative. Depending on the size of your particular Wilmington palm tree, outdoor lighting fixtures used to show it off may vary from spotlights to subtle accent lights.

Needle Palm: This Wilmington palm tree is a small, shrub-like palm that can grow as tall as 6 feet. Rather than a trunk, Needle Palms have a crown that slowly lengthens all the way to the ground. Rather than large, blossoming leaflets, the Needle Palm features long, slender spines that can extend to about 8 inches. If you’ve got one of these in your yard and are struggling to illuminate it with traditional Wilmington palm tree lighting techniques, call a professional at Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Wilmington today.

Dramatic uplighting helps illuminate the entire tree and creates a warm, elegant glow.

There are a few outdoor lighting techniques that can be applied across all tree types. We often use dramatic uplighting techniques to illuminate the trunk and a variety of bulbs, wattages and beam spreads to really make your Wilmington palm trees shine. We also work hard to illuminate each individual leaflet by optimizing the placement of each individual outdoor lighting fixture.

For example, take a look at our recent work at River Sea Plantation. We didn’t go in with a Wilmington palm tree lighting template – we evaluated their unique palms and crafted a one-of-a-kind outdoor lighting look to show off their best features. Take advantage of the unique Wilmington scenery in your yard, and let Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Wilmington read your palms when you call today!

Wilmington Outdoor Lighting Brightens River Sea Plantation Entrances

River Sea Plantation

Here at Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Wilmington, we have the opportunity to create some of the most most beautiful outdoor lighting designs for our neighbors. Just last week, we were able to accomplish this for an entire community by upgrading the subdivision entrance lighting at the famous River Sea Plantation. As one of Wilmington premiere gated communities, they were looking for a way to project the elegance and luxury their community offers, highlighting their beautiful Palm’s, Crepe Myrtles and Holly trees, to welcome their residents home after a long hard day. Their old outdoor lighting system wasn’t illuminating the three entrances and islands as it should so we designed a new lighting plan to enhance the entire area with top-of-the-line Wilmington LED outdoor lighting fixtures. Here’s what we did:

River Sea Plantation’s main entrance was rewired and upgraded.

When we arrived, we found that the main entrance was dimly lit with old fixtures, worn out bulbs and bad wiring. We rewired all 18 existing fixtures at this entrance and retrofitted them to use our energy-efficient LED bulbs. Each of these re-lamped fixtures now shines elegantly on the trees that looked stunning during the day but were lost in the darkness. The entrance looks new again and these magnificent trees make a bold statement at night.

Our new LED stick lights now illuminate the Crepe Myrtles within the island.

On the second entrance, we replaced their old halogen fixtures with our LED stick lights illuminating the Crepe Myrtles and Holly trees. Replacing the old fixtures increased the systems efficiency – LED outdoor lighting bulbs can last an estimated 25 years, as opposed to traditional halogen bulbs which must be replaced every few years – and helped illuminate harder to reach spots. Our LED stick lights are specifically designed to fit in places where other lights just can’t. Tight corners, small overhangs and other trouble spots are easily brightened up with this fixture.

The center island now includes LED lighting to enhance the view at night.

The center island between the two entrances was just as dark due to the old lighting. We added 6 of our LED stick lights and retrofitted 39 other fixtures to our LEDs, illuminating the distinctive Palm trees unique to our area.

The Summer Haven entrance was also upgraded to display the elegance of the neighborhood.

Lastly, the Summer Haven entrance was upgraded by retrofitting 6 of their fixtures to our LEDs and we added 2 of our durable well lights to bring out the textures and colors of the Holly trees within the entrance.

River Sea Plantation offers some of the most beautiful sights and luxurious amenities of any gated community in Wilmington, so we wanted to bring that out even after dark. Now all three entrances and the center island are brilliantly lit with 16 new LED outdoor lighting fixtures and 55 of their current fixtures upgraded to LED for a total of 71 brilliantly lit LED outdoor lighting fixtures. Their new LEDs not only will they look beautiful, their efficiencies will save River Sea Plantation on their energy consumption and maintenance costs. River Sea’s entrances are now sure to leave a lasting impression on anyone who drives by because of our custom outdoor lighting design and upgrades.

If your community is looking for a better outdoor lighting design or is in need of some upgrades, drive by River Sea Plantation to see what we’ve done and then give us a call to have us design a plan for you. Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Wilmington can transform the way the world sees your neighborhood, business or professional area with outdoor lighting.

Wilmington Temporary Event Lighting Makes Your Outdoor Settings Shine

Temporary outdoor lighting can be placed anywhere and illuminated beautifully.

It’s the perfect time of year to host a special event outdoors. From graduation parties to weddings, nothing creates a more festive atmosphere than being outside with nature’s backdrop. The flowers are in bloom, grass is green, trees are full and the mild evenings create a relaxing and joyful setting. But what really creates that warm, romantic and unforgettable feeling is lighting. Outdoor lighting can produce dramatic shadows and emphasizes the surroundings like nothing else.

When you begin planning your special event, ask yourself what it is you’re looking to enhance or emphasize. Can it be done with decorations or it is it something more subtle you envision? Could it be done with temporary outdoor lighting from Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Wilmington? Because we are a professional outdoor lighting company, we know how to create custom outdoor lighting designs that subtly emphasize your surroundings without shining light in your guest’s eyes or create tripping hazards with wiring strewn across the

Arts Council of Wilmington 2014 Designer Showhouse.

walking area or stairways. In fact, just recently we were able to help the Arts Council of Wilmington and New Hanover County kick off their first ever 2014 Designer Showhouse by lighting the outdoor entertaining area with our temporary event lighting that is not only beautiful but also as functional as our traditional outdoor lighting fixtures.

We chose our battery-powered LED path lights, well lights and spotlights to create a lighting effect just as decorative as the individual rooms within the Designer Showhouse. With the 5,000-square-foot Georgian-style home overlooking the Cape Fear County Club golf course meticulously decorated, we knew our custom outdoor lighting had to represent with as much class as had been displayed by the dozen local interior and landscape designers involved with the Showhouse. We were able to create safer pathways and driveway with our temporary path lighting, highlight the textures and dimensions of the majestic trees with our battery-powered well lights as well as enrich the architectural features of the stately Georgian style home with our temporary spotlights.

Battery powered temporary lighting looks beautiful and lasts throughout your event.

Our temporary outdoor lighting is battery powered and produces a warm, soft lighting effect for the entire length of your event. It can be used anywhere to create the perfect mood for your setting whether you want to light the pathways for safety, highlight a dance area for entertainment or define the boundaries of your area for added allure. Our temporary outdoor lighting fixtures offer the same benefits as our traditional LED installed outdoor lighting but have the additional advantage of being set up quickly and in places where there is no power source. And our temporary outdoor lighting fixtures for your Wilmington special event will look just as nice as the other décor chosen. Our temporary path lights are made from solid copper to help brighten your walkways and driveways. Our temporary copper spotlights and floodlights take your beautiful landscaping and event props and turn them into stunning focal points. No matter where your event is located, Wilmington temporary outdoor lighting will help create a memory to last a lifetime.

If you are interested in seeing the upscale designs within the 2014 Designer Showhouse, tickets can be purchased for $20 in advance or $25 at the door through May 18th. Visit the Arts Council of Wilmington and New Hanover County’s website for more information. If you’re interested in temporary outdoor lighting for your next Wilmington outdoor event, visit Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Wilmington’s website or give us a call at 910-342-0040. We can take your affair to a new level your guests will remember for a lifetime.

Professional Outdoor Lighting Ideas For Your Vacation Home

If you don’t live in your beach house all year round, it’s easy to come and go without thinking twice about leaving a light on. However, leaving a vacation home dark for days, weeks or even months on end could easily leave it vulnerable to theft, vandalism and other hazards. Here are some tips from Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Wilmington to not only help keep your beach house safe while you’re away, but also give it a stunning, one-of-a-kind look more fitting for an Oceanside getaway.

Entrance lighting helps keep your home safer and offers a warmer, welcoming look.

It’s easy for intruders to sneak onto your property if your front door, windows and other entry points are dark. Outsmart the bad guys by installing professional entrance lighting that not only shows off the beautiful architecture around your home, but also creates a warmer, safer welcome when you visit. You can even use outdoor lighting timers to save energy and make it even more convincing that the house is occupied even if you’re not there every day of the week. Call Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Wilmington today for more ideas about how you can use professional outdoor lighting to beef up the security of your beach home.

Take advantage of high quality copper outdoor lighting fixtures that can withstand the weather.

One reason many vacation homeowners are reluctant at first to install outdoor lighting fixtures is the daunting expenses of having to replace them every few months due to the salty air and rough ocean weather. But at Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Wilmington, we only use top-of-the-line copper outdoor lighting fixtures that are actually designed to work with the elements to develop an even more stunning look with age rather than fading or chipping.

Your home can look great inside and out with LED lighting.

Outdoor lighting transforms your home into a beautiful, luxurious paradise by the beach.

Wilmington’s Burgwin-Wright Historic House Comes Alive at Night with Outdoor Lighting

On the corner of Market and Third, in the heart of Wilmington’s prominent historic district, behind the magnificent magnolias, sits the only colonial era historic house open to the public. The Burgwin-Wright House, which was built on the foundation of a former city jail, is operated as a museum and boasts the most gorgeous Georgian architecture around. But what really capture the attention of most people are the lush, terraced gardens outside; all seven distinct areas encompassing two-thirds of an acre.

The gardens are open all year-long and free of charge to walk through. But more than just the everyday visits, the Burgwin-Wright house also offers a beautiful setting for private events such as weddings, receptions, dinners and cocktail parties. Because of these events, the home recently applied for and received a grant to add outdoor lighting around the front of the house, the beautiful magnolias and within the gardens in the back. Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Wilmington was chosen to create a custom outdoor lighting design for the outdoor areas that we have just completed. We thought photos of the finished project would tell the story better than our words.

We started at the front of the house where we added architectural lighting to the facade and on the sides of the stairway for increased safety and appeal.

Most of our design was in the back of the home in the garden areas. Trees lining the gardens were lit as well as the pathways that guide guests around the area.

The ornamental features in the gardens are just as spectacular as the flowers and trees, especially with the landscape lighting shining on them.

The shapes, dimensions and textures all come alive at night with the outdoor lighting in place.

The beautiful staircases are enhanced with the dramatic lighting in the landscaping.

One of our favorite features is the dipping pool in the back garden. We installed a tree lighting technique called Moonlighting. The spotlight is secured up in the tree, shining down to create dramatic shadowing.

If you have the chance, take a walk past the Burgwin-Wright historic house at night to see how our outdoor lighting design has enhanced the home and garden areas. Or think about hosting your next special event in the gardens. You will surely be amazed at how beautiful it looks after the sun goes down.

If you have an outdoor space at your home that could benefit from outdoor lighting, give us a call. We’d be happy to design an outdoor lighting system for your home, deck, patio, pool area, pathways or any other area you’d like to enjoy more at night.

Welcome Home: Outdoor Lighting for Community Entrances

Warm light creates a welcoming tone for this community.

Every good businessperson knows first impressions are important. Within the first few seconds, prospective clients decide what kind of professional you are. With hard work, you may be able to overcome a bad first impression, but those first moments are crucial to establishing a business relationship. First impressions don’t just hold true for people; they hold true for everything. For residential communities, the first impression happens the moment people turn into the entrance. Most communities improve this area with signage and landscaping that is styled to fit with the design of the community. Such signs serve as landmarks and to set the tone. The very best of these use lighting not just as a means of making the sign visible but also to welcome all who enter.

For thousands of years, light has been a symbol of welcome and comfort. Warm lighting draws humans and makes them feel at ease. This is the sort of feeling you want to inspire in potential residents. Safety and belonging can be deciding factors to those looking to buy or rent. Lighting for your community’s signage and landscaping will make that first impression a positive one.

Make a great first impression with Entrance Lighting.

It’s hard to say with certainty that a few expertly placed outdoor lighting fixtures mean the difference in closure on a property or the interested party walking away. However, everyone who works within the housing market knows that doing everything you can to make a property more appealing is critical.

Our experience helps us create lighting that captures the style, tone, and mood important to our clients.
