LANDSCAPE LIGHTING COMPANY
Low Voltage Landscape Lighting Installation
Landscape lighting is a landscape design tool that can be used to enhance the landscape, curb appeal and create a more impressive effect.
There are many different types of outdoor lighting, but one of the most popular is low voltage lighting. This type of landscape lighting uses less power than traditional lights because it runs on 120 volts from an outlet rather than from a transformer powered by 240 volts. Low voltage landscape light fixtures have been shown to use as little as 10% of the energy that would be used with traditional landscape light fixtures, even though they provide just as much or more illumination and dramatic effect at night.
Another advantage for those who want to install outdoor lighting is that there is no need for electricians since all you need to install a lighting system is the fixtures, transformer, and wire. Although our electric division installs outdoor lighting, our irrigation technicians are trained the same way. Both divisions provide solutions for outdoor kitchens, patios, retaining walls, trees, driveways, benches, and any other way to transform your house.
Landscape lighting benefits landscape design in several ways by adding to the ambiance of a home’s outdoor area. For example, wires can be installed underground where they are completely invisible.
Outdoor Lighting Transforms Your Home
Landscape lighting may be used to improve the look of your outdoor space. They come in many forms, but low-voltage landscape lights, which consume less energy than traditional landscape lights, are one of the most common landscape enhancements. Led lights have been shown to require as little as 10% of the electricity that standard lights.
In addition, outdoor lighting may help to illuminate walkways. This can be especially helpful for those who want to take a walk at night but don’t want to worry about tripping on uneven terrains. With outdoor lighting, you can still walk confidently in the dark as your landscape illuminates your paths.
When landscape lighting is mentioned, it’s not just about the landscape and walkways. Color temperatures in lights also play a role in landscape design. The landscape designers at Sunrise want to ensure that the color temperatures from 2800k to 5800k to create the perfect atmosphere. Warm white lights are usually used for outdoor lighting in the northern hemisphere. In contrast, outdoor lighting in the southern hemisphere is often blue-hued or cool tones to reflect a more vibrant landscape.

Types of landscape lights we offer
The use of outdoor lights at a house is a great way to highlight specific features or architectural details that you want others to see at night. Whether it be for safety reasons for those who are living on the property, or just as an added touch of ambiance and beauty, installing landscape lighting can do wonders for your property’s appearance. However, this does not mean that there is one type of light fixture that will work best for every application; each has its unique advantages and disadvantages depending on what you’re trying to accomplish with your landscaping project.
Look for landscape lighting companies that can bring your vision to life through landscape lighting, including pathway lights, step lights, deck lights, and well lights.
Path lights are lighting fixtures that provide illumination on the landscape’s path. They can be used for landscape design by providing a lighted pathway from outside to inside areas of a landscape. Pathway lights can make a landscape feel more welcoming and nice.
Path lights are used primarily as a safety measure so people walking through their garden have some form of illumination when it’s dark. But they can also be used aesthetically to highlight landscape features that may not be easily seen when it is dark out or just to add a touch of ambiance and beauty to your yard.
Step lights are landscape lighting fixtures that are installed in landscape steps to provide illumination. These can make landscape designs look more professional by providing an easily accessed light source when landscape steps are needed to be used for outdoor concepts.
Again, step lights are mostly installed in gardens for safety purposes but can also enhance outdoor landscape designs by adding light. They can be used to highlight landscape steps or just as a means to provide some light at the top and bottom of the stairs for those who may not want to take their time going up and down them.
Spotlights are landscape lighting fixtures that provide illumination in a concentrated area, usually to display the surface of a house, the wall, or plants. Spotlights can be used for landscape design by providing light to plants that need it. Spotlights come in many different shapes and sizes, with the most popular ones being globe-shaped.
Spotlights can be used to highlight landscape details or garden features. They are also beneficial if landscape professionals want to create an ambiance for client viewing because spotlights are not as harsh as other landscape lights.
Well lights are an excellent way to light up any area, especially those that need illumination below ground level. These include fixtures installed so the majority of it is at or near grade (in ground). Well lighting can be used for applications where you don’t want lawnmowers going over your turf areas and hardscape surfaces should have traffic pass overhead often enough so as not damage them too much with weight from foot or vehicle traffic.
Deck lights are an easy way to illuminate the landscape features that are installed on decks or walkways. The landscape design of decks or walkways is also influenced by deck lights as they help determine what landscape, trees, and plants can be placed on the deck or walkway.
Bollard lights provide landscape illumination and security. What they provide is that they will cover a landscape with indirect light. This type of landscape lighting is perfect for illuminating the landscape when you don’t want to use strong, direct light. They are especially great when there is something particular you want to highlight in your landscape such as a garden or porch. These electric fixtures are also popular in parking lots because their low height prevents them from interfering with incoming and outgoing traffic.
Powering Your Outdoor Lights
We use top-of-the-line outdoor transformers. A transformer is a device that converts alternating current voltage to direct current voltage or vice versa. Our transformers are designed to withstand rigorous outdoor conditions from the brutal summer heat to the occasional named storm. These transformers are available in 120-volt plug-in versions, with either a photocell or without.
The landscape lighting photocell transformer is one of the many solutions that we provide to power your lights. These landscape photosensor transformers are made up of a sensor that detects light levels and triggers the power on when the sunsets. You can chose to allow it to go from dusk to dawn or in hour increments from when its dark.
