Benefits of Investing in Permanent Architectural & Landscape Lighting
Permanent lighting features create a lasting ambiance that can increase your home’s curb appeal and your property’s safety.
We recommend permanent landscape & architectural lighting, because these systems are designed to last for years, even decades, with the appropriate maintenance. Permanent lighting features are great for holiday-celebrants and entertainers, as they can be adjusted to match different color themes.
Is a Permanent Light Feature a Good Option for Me?
If you’re considering installing a landscape lighting system, think about the following:
What is the space or feature that I want to illuminate?
If this space is large, what types of fixtures will allow for full illumination? Do I want to illuminate multiple sides of a feature? What kind of wattage is required to illuminate this space?
Do I have the time to install and uninstall these holiday features?
Hiring a professional team to scope out your space, design a set up, install, provide maintenance advice, and handle repairs can save you a great amount of time, energy, and money
What is my budget?
Installing a permanent lighting system is generally a bigger investment than a few strands of holiday lights, clips, and cords. Many clients see the value of year-round lighting compared to just 4 weeks with a temporary holiday display. Our typical front yard lighting system for a home, a few trees, and walkway runs between $3,000-$6,000. Compared to an average $2,000-4,000/year with a holiday lighting company
Is energy efficiency important to me?
Night-Scapes permanent lighting solutions are modernized to the point of including technologically-advanced features that keep your energy bills down. Cost savings of using LED or Integrated LED versus incandescent bulbs is immense.
Do I want color options?
Just like we mentioned the cost savings of fixtures being technologically advanced, permanent light features often have the ability to change colors, are dimmable, and adjust hues. Many of these controls can be operated from your smartphone with a few button clicks.
Installing a Permanent Lighting Feature
Many people choose to hire professional landscape lighting teams because of their expertise in achieving an aesthetic goal, knowledge of safety hazards and steps to take, and maintenance offerings.
Illuminate Strategically
If you entertain outdoors, enhance the area with landscape lighting. You can string lights above, light stairs from underneath the lip, and illuminate architectural features, like columns. Custom fabricated fixtures are often a direction we go when there isn’t the ‘Perfect Fixture’. We even like to light up water features, art & seasonal planters. Many holiday and party hosts opt for colored lights to celebrate the theme and mood.
Automatic Lighting
A huge benefit to permanent lighting is the peace of mind. You know that your property is illuminated automatically, thanks to astronomical & photo-cell operated timers. You can head out of town, to an event, or dinner, knowing that your lighting system will turn on without worry
