Landscape lighting is one of the easiest ways to
improve the curb appeal of your home or office,
while increasing the value of your property. It
does this by tying your landscape to your
structure, giving it a personalized look during
the day and a unique ambiance at night.
There are two different types of landscape
lighting: solar powered and hard wired. Each of
them offers a different kind of illumination.
Solar powered lights are the easiest to install,
because there is no wiring involved, but they
give off the least amount of light, and have a
blue tint. Hard wired lighting "line voltage"
and "low voltage" take more time to install
because they require underground wiring;
however, their illumination is far superior.
Once you have determined the type of lighting
that best suits your landscape, new challenges
arise, such as what combination of lighting,
where do I place them and how many. An
experienced installer will be able to work with
you ensuring your property is accented properly
while offering a sense of security.
Since it gets dark at a different time every day
we recommend installing a photo cell timer
combination. This lowers your energy costs while
eliminating the hassle of constantly trying to
remember to adjust your timer. The way this
works is the timer is the clock and the photo
cell reacts to the sun. When working together,
the photo cell takes care of illuminating your
landscape at the proper time every day, while
the timer will turn them off at whatever time
you desire each night. So your only worry should
be changing the light bulbs.
