Columbia, SC Moonlighting Outdoor Lighting Can Replace Your Floodlights’ Harsh Lighting and Save You Money!

March 30, 2016 By Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Columbia SC

revslider1-300x155Are your home’s floodlights leaving you with an intense, over-bearing illumination yet providing you with minimal visibility coverage? Wouldn’t you like to get cohesive coverage through a soothing wash of light to keep areas of your property evenly lit? Moonlighting not only provides a more subtle source of illumination, but the fixtures are mounted high up within the trees and are nearly invisible. Not only does this technique deliver generous light, your yard will be awash in the subtle glow mixing with silhouettes created by leaves blowing in the wind.

mooonlighting_garden_tree_Columbia_SC-300x199Moonlighting, also known as downlighting, is the perfect replacement for harsh flood lights that don’t illuminate nearly enough of your yard. Lighting that is too bright can make anything appear stark, bland and just ugly. With different tree locations and thoughtful placement of our moonlighting fixtures, all the areas of your yard that turn pitch black come nightfall will be provided a beautiful “moonlight-like” glow.

Whereas most mercury vapor lights and house floodlights run on 120 volts, our fixtures are capable of providing the same amount of illumination with only 12 volts. Your energy savings would be incredible. Combine energy savings with added beauty and illumination to your backyard and you have a win-win.

Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Columbia Makes Your Fall Outdoor Improvements Shine

October 28, 2015 By Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Columbia SC

When making outdoor improvements for your last outdoor gatherings of the season, don't forget the outdoor lighting!
When making outdoor improvements for your last outdoor gatherings of the season, don’t forget the outdoor lighting!

Temperatures are finally cooling down, and it’s beginning to feel a lot like fall. Though rain may drive us inside occasionally, it’s a really great time to get outdoors and enjoy being together. As you gear up for the last outdoor activities and gatherings before winter sets in, you may be sprucing up your outdoor areas or even adding new ones. Now is a great time to refinish the deck, expand your small patio, revitalize your landscape, or add that fire pit area everyone’s been suggesting. As you plan, gather materials, and get to work, don’t forget outdoor lighting. Though it may not be the featured improvement, remember that these outdoor living spaces, like the front of your home, will need lighting in order to be functional. A little thinking and planning now can save you a lot of work in this area later.

 

New outdoor lighting components are often easier to install while you are making an addition, and occasionally, if the work is not completed during construction, your new additions must be partially disassembled to allow component installation. Furthermore, installing new lighting when you make an addition decreases the time your property will be in disarray. Construction and installation of any home improvement is a bit messy. If tasks are completed simultaneously, you will only need to contend with the construction chaos once.

 

By adding outdoor lighting during your improvement, you will minimize the time your property is in construction chaos.
By adding outdoor lighting during your improvement, you will minimize the time your property is in construction chaos.

There is nothing wrong with adding outdoor lighting one area at a time. Many of our clients choose this option because they make improvements over time. It affords them the opportunity to discover what outdoor amenities they truly want on their property. Just remember that balance is key. When you add the area, go ahead and add the lighting. Your property will look better, and you will be able to better utilize the space. Also remember that our LED outdoor lighting fixtures are much less demanding on transformers. Given your current transformer, you will be able to add many more lights if you choose LEDs. Don’t be afraid of them. While there are many low quality LEDs on the market that have a bluish tint or appear “colder” than halogen lights, the LEDs utilized by Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Columbia can be mixed into a halogen system without anyone ever knowing the difference.

 

No matter what outdoor improvements you have in mind this fall, Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Columbia can help. From romantic café lights strung around a fire pit area to deck lighting to landscape lighting for those new trees and shrubs you just planted, we will make your outdoor living spaces beautiful, functional, and the place your friends and family want to be this fall. Call us today!

Preparing Your Columbia SC Outdoor Lighting Budget

September 8, 2015 By Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Columbia SC

outdoor lighting Columbia SCAs a homeowner, you likely have many upkeep tasks that you perform regularly or have performed a few times over the years. By performing these tasks, you more than likely know exactly how much each task is going to cost you due to the regularity in which you perform these tasks. Outdoor lighting, if done right, only needs to be installed one time. So, more than likely, you don’t have a frame of reference for what to budget for your outdoor lighting system.

backyard landscape lighting Columbia SCThe first thing you should take into account is the area or areas you want to see illuminated. There have been several occasions where customers know they eventually want to light both their front yard and their back yard but know they want to start with just one area. At the same time, we’ve had customers add outdoor lighting in phases. While you may not have a frame of reference for what professional outdoor lighting will cost, we are more than happy to provide this information if you are in the early budget planning stages or even if you’re thinking about adding lighting next year. You will not find any hard sell tactics with us. We want to provide the best lighting designs and installations to homeowners based on their needs, timing, and budget.

Columbia SC outdoor lightingIf you have an established budget, we will work within your budget. We understand some people don’t feel comfortable sharing their budget with contractors out of fear they’ll get an inflated price only intended to spend the entire budget. Our pricing is quite simple. The pricing depends on exactly how many lighting fixtures we install. The whole process is taken into account; the design, fixtures, installation and guarantee are all calculated into the per fixture price. By performing a nighttime demonstration, it will be fairly easy for you to see exactly how many fixtures you are looking to have installed. Essentially, by getting to see how your home looks with an outdoor lighting system before it’s ever installed you’re getting to see the price as well.

September 2, 2015 By Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Columbia SC

outdoor lighting Columbia SCOutdoor Lighting Perspectives of Columbia has been busy as the summer season comes to a close. Why not make the last big summer three-day weekend phenomenal with a pre Labor Day party lighting makeover before family and friends arrive for the festivities?

Outdoor Lighting Can Substantially Increase Your Home’s Perceived Value

August 5, 2015 By Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Columbia SC

outdoor lighting Columbia SCDid you know that by simply adding outdoor lighting to your home you can increase its perceived value by nearly 20%? In a time when many new home buyers are shopping at night, you’ve really got to stand out. It seems that people forget that a lot of potential home buyers do view homes after dark; outdoor lighting can make a huge impact.

In order to obtain the most effective bang for your buck, it’s extremely important to rely upon a professional outdoor lighting company. At Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Columbia we know that the key to curb appeal starts with an excellent outdoor lighting system design. It’s very important to take into account which areas of your home are the most important to focus upon.

Columbia SC outdoor lightingHere are some helpful tidbits we normally recommend:

• Reduce the wattage in your fixtures.

Your outdoor lighting system doesn’t need to be visible from outer space. Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Columbia offers a variety of LED fixtures that provide for energy savings and fantastic results. Even if you have a current halogen system, we are capable of retrofitting it to an LED system.

• Your front walkway is not always the most important area of your home.

Time and time again we see houses where they simply went to one of the “big box” stores for a set of solar powered fixtures to light their walkway. Those lights will work for a year or two, maybe. More importantly, they don’t illuminate the home adequately. Take the whole home’s illumination into account.

outdoor lighting Columbia SC• Lights that are too bright can make anything look bad.

How many times, especially around the holidays, have you seen multiple spotlights pointed directly at the front of a house? The light is often so intense it nearly looks like a spaceship. This type of lighting doesn’t allow for the multitude of shadows and silhouettes that can be obtained through a professionally designed and installed outdoor lighting system.

 
 
Through our free nighttime demonstration, we can show you which areas of your home need more lighting than others. We will set up temporary lights that will allow you to see immediately how your home will look with an outdoor lighting system. We will place the lighting fixtures in different areas to show you which areas of your home could and should be used as focal points and take your input into account. When looking to increase your home’s curb appeal through investing in an outdoor lighting system, it’s best to leave the heavy lifting to the professionals.
