Football Season’s Back! Make Sure Your Outdoor Living Spaces are Equipped with Adequate Illumination

September 14, 2016 By Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Columbia SC

outdoor lighting Columbia SCThink of how enamored your guests will be by way of subtle, elegant illumination on and around your deck or patio. At Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Columbia, we know how to perfectly mesh both the practical and the aesthetic elements of lighting. If your patio or deck needs more illumination for your grilling area and a little less for where your guests eat and congregate, we can easily achieve this.

Are You Ready? Outdoor Lighting for Your Columbia Deck or Patio

August 29, 2016 By Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Columbia SC

Outdoor lighting creates the best area for summer night life on your patio.
Outdoor lighting creates the best area for fall night life on your patio.

Are you ready for fall? It’s the season of mild temperatures allowing for outdoor dinners on the deck and endless late-night conversation on the patio. While personally you may be more than ready for these meaningful moments, your property may not be. So the past few weeks, you’ve been sprucing up your landscape, tending to outdoor maintenance in anticipation of the changing season ahead. While you were doing all this, did you notice any dark spots on your property after sunset? Your landscape and architecture may be illuminated, but if your outdoor living spaces are dark, your neighbors and passers-by may be enjoying your outdoor lighting more than you are.

 

Decks and patios provide a spot to enjoy fall nightlife that can be relaxing and intimate or exciting and lively. They really can be whatever you want them to be. Outdoor lighting helps you create these atmospheres. It provides mood and aesthetics and also makes your favorite outdoor living space functional after sundown. Now that milder nights will soon be here, it’s time to upgrade your outdoor lighting so you can take round-the-clock advantage of these areas, and Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Columbia can help.

 

With LED, we may be able to add more new lights than you think.
With LED, we may be able to add more new lights than you think.

If you are concerned about the additional costs you will accrue on your energy bill by making an addition, consider LED for your deck or patio. Even if your system consists of halogen fixtures and components, LED is an option. In many cases, more LED fixtures can be added to your transformer than halogen because they pull less voltage, meaning you can get more light for the same amount of energy consumption. While some may be reluctant to mix halogen and LED lights, we would not suggest such a option if it could not be done seamlessly. Of course, if you would like to keep your system consistent, your new deck or patio addition can certainly be halogen. Or perhaps, you would like to upgrade your entire system to LED. That too can be arranged.

Springtime Outdoor Lighting Additions Make Your Property Shine

March 16, 2016 By Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Columbia SC

Columbia-trellis-lit-with-outdoor-lighting-300x225Now that trees are budding and flowers are blooming, you are probably spending more time outdoors in your outdoor living spaces and in the yard. This evening, take some time to walk around your property. Are you happy with how it looks when the sun begins to fade? Do you notice dark areas and shadows that are hiding important features of your property? Maybe you planning some additions to your landscaping this spring, or perhaps adding a deck or a fire pit area. You have invested time and money into your yard to make it appealing and functional. Of course, you want to spend time in those spaces, so don’t let sunset drive you indoors. Now is undoubtedly the perfect time for an outdoor lighting addition.

backyard landscape lighting Columbia SCSome people believe that outdoor lighting is all or nothing, but in reality, most people install their outdoor lighting in phases as their properties change and expand. With new additions to landscape and architecture, new areas need lighting. When Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Columbia installs an outdoor lighting system, we try to plan for expansion, meaning we do our best not to max out your transformer. This strategy can make additions more affordable when you decide to move forward.

Did You Know You Have So Many Options When it Comes to Outdoor Lighting Timers?

February 24, 2016 By Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Columbia SC

Charletson outdoor lighting timerOutdoor lighting timers are truly an essential item to utilize. When it comes to timers, Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Columbia have a vast array of different timers to suit your every need. Do you need a timer to control when the lights come on, but don’t want to go big? We have that option. Do you want the absolute top-of-the-line timer equipped with WiFi, allowing you control from anywhere in the continental US?– We have that as well. When it comes to ensuring your home’s outdoor lighting is as customized as possible, Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Columbia is the company to turn to.

 

Lighting Control Automation from Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Charleston can be programmed away from homeWhen it comes to outdoor lighting timers, there are four that we utilize the most often. They include: the standard photocell timer, the digital timer, the bluetooth timer, and the ultimate in outdoor lighting timers, LCA (Lighting Control Automation). The standard photocell timer is great if you’re the type that never wants to have to program anything. However, due to it activating your outdoor lighting system based on the amount of sunlight hitting the photocell, a strong storm or darker than usual day could cause your outdoor lighting system to power on prematurely.

 

Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Columbus astronomical timerAs for the digital timer, this timer is simple to configure. It can be placed within your home and you will be able to set the on and off times very easily. It is backed up with a battery system to ensure that during a power outage your settings don’t get wiped out. However, if you are without power for several days, that battery backup system will more than likely run out of juice and your settings will need to be put back in once you have power again. Also, if you have multiple transformers, you’ll need multiple digital timers for each transformer. It is in this case where having a seamless, consistent “on time” for all your outdoor lights becomes more difficult as you have to set each timer separately and they run independent of one another.

outdoor-lighting-remote-controller-Memphis-TNNow, for the more technologically advanced, we offer the bluetooth timer. This particular timer can be mounted outdoors or indoors and allows for you to control your outdoor lighting system from your smartphone or tablet’s bluetooth (via an app). You can turn the lights on and off manually, or you can set schedules. The only drawback is that you have to be within bluetooth range for it to work. If you’re looking for the “creme-de-la-creme” of outdoor lighting timers, lighting control automation (LCA) will undoubtedly be your choice.

 
 

Charleston_Lighting_AutomationLighting control automation (LCA) is where we start to enter “smarthome technology”. You can literally control any switch within your entire home. From your landscape lighting to the lamps within your home, you have total control over all your home’s lighting. You can control your home’s lighting from anywhere in the country so long as you have internet. Equipped with dimming capabilities and vacation mode (where you are able to have the outdoor lighting system running from dusk until dawn and have internal lights randomly power on and off to give the appearance someone’s home), this timer is absolutely top-notch. Through the utilization of your home’s axial grid coordinates, the LCA system knows precisely which time to power on. So as days get longer or shorter, the system automatically knows when sunset occurs by mapping your home’s location using longitude and latitude.
