 Landscape
lighting reveals the house and grounds in the setting that was lost
as night fell. The purpose of lighting is to re-establish the
relationship between the house and the landscaping. Lighting should
enhance the setting, extend the hours of enjoyment of the outdoors
and provide for the safety and convenience of guests. It can also
address issues of security in a manner that is aesthetically
pleasing and appropriate to the site.
Why Install Low Voltage Landscape
Lighting?
- Security. High voltage floodlights
leave dark shadows and unseen areas around a property. A better
choice is strategically placed low voltage lights that provide low
levels of even illumination.
- Safety.
Low Voltage lighting is the ideal choice for illuminating
walkways and entranceways. This ensures that residents and
visitors can safely navigate around the property.
- Usability. Illuminating the private
areas of a property allow the evening enjoyment of decks, sitting
areas, and recreational spaces.
- Beauty. Low voltage lighting
accentuates the shapes and textures of a landscape and its
structures. Lighting designers not only paint pictures with light,
they create dramatic scenes that give the viewer a dynamic
experience of the property.
- Economy. Low voltage lighting consumes
about 1/3 the electricity compared to high voltage systems and is
far less expensive to install.
