Columbia SC Outdoor Lighting

Don’t Forget the Importance of Outdoor Lighting System Maintenance!

September 7, 2016 By Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Columbia SC

outdoor landscape lighting columbia scNow that we are finally approaching the end of summer and the extremely hot days it brings, it’s important to ensure your outdoor lighting system is working efficiently and effectively. It’s always a good idea this time of year to go outside both during the daytime as well as the nighttime and inspect your outdoor lighting system. Perhaps your summer mowing, or the numerous storms have caused some damage to your fixtures, or perhaps you just have burnt out bulbs. The point is, you won’t notice the need for repairs or maintenance if you don’t go and take a close look at your system.

It doesn’t matter if your system was installed 15 years ago by a company no longer in business, we will still provide service on your system. What most people don’t realize is, we won’t just diagnose the problem, we will also look to see if your existing system can be better used. If your fixtures need to be moved around to create a better lighting effect, we will provide you with a free estimate. We take pride in our ability to design the best outdoor lighting systems in Columbia, SC and surrounding areas.

This time of year is when we see a lot of bent fixtures or fixtures which need to be realigned. In addition to bent or knocked over fixtures, we also see dirt covering the lenses of some of our uplights. As longer evenings steadily approach, it’s a great idea to have your system fully prepped for them. The days are only getting shorter and the nights longer, so make sure your outdoor lighting system is providing your home with the beauty it deserves. If you have burn out bulbs or bent fixtures, you’re not getting the full effect outdoor lighting was designed to deliver.

Dress Your Home Up in Beautiful Columbia Outdoor Lighting for the Coming Darker Months

August 17, 2016 By Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Columbia SC

It’s back to school season, and if you’re like us you’re ready for a change of pace. At Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Columbia, we love helping our clients give their favorite outdoor spaces a makeover just in time for changing weather. Take advantage of the season, and dress up your home for the cooler weather with custom outdoor lighting design ideas.

downlighting Columbia SCWhen working with deck and patio lighting, sometimes you need one bigger, fuller outdoor lighting fixture to cover all the bases, like a flood light. However, sometimes you’ll prefer a softer, more subtle ambient light – in that case it’s a good idea to try something fun like string lighting or festival lighting. Additionally, there may be certain aspects of your yard that you want to make sure to bring out with deck and patio lighting. For these, we highly recommend installing a few simple accent lights around the seating area. A trained expert at Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Columbia can help you pick out the perfect combinations of fixtures and bulbs to blanket your deck and patio with a gorgeous Columbia outdoor lighting design with more depth and layering than you might otherwise have in your home.

Take your bonfires and after-dark get-togethers to the next level by crafting a one-of-a-kind atmosphere around the fire pit with just a few outdoor lighting fixtures. String lighting around the area is a smart option that instantly sets a fun party mood but also effectively illuminates the area for your guests. Moonlighting may be necessary if you have a particularly large seating area around the pit in order to ensure your guests’ safety around the fire. An Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Columbia professional can easily help you evaluate your unique home and fire pit area to determine which outdoor lighting fixtures are best suited to bring your perfect party spot to life.

March 2, 2016 By Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Columbia SC

It’s beginning to feel more and more like spring. After all, there are only 17 days until the beginning of spring! Are you already Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Columbiaenvisioning springtime projects to increase your home’s beauty? As springtime approaches, many homeowners are beginning to plan for upcoming landscaping projects and additions. Landscape lighting, accent lighting and garden lighting are all excellent methods of enhancing your outdoor spaces and adding beauty to the landscape — and the best part is, outdoor lighting can be added anytime — winter, spring, summer, or fall.

Columbia SC Garden LightingSavvy gardeners here in Columbia know now is the best time to plant your flowering plants and shrubs. While it’s not extremely humid and hot at the moment, late winter in Columbia, SC is one of the best times to move ahead with many landscaping projects.The same thing could be said for the addition of outdoor lighting to your landscape! Trees, shrubs and flowers will come to life during the evenings. Your lawn will appear more lush, your blooms will appear more colorful and vivid, and your landscape will have depth and dimension; your yard will truly be the envy of the neighborhood.

outdoor accent lighting columbia scAside from just enhancing beauty, Columbia, SC landscape lighting also aids in giving you a more secure home. By lifting the veil of darkness that would normally overtake your landscape, your home will be a much less appealing target to would-be criminals. Statistically speaking, a well-lit home is much less likely to be targeted by would-be criminals or intruders than a non-well-lit home on the very same street. Criminals are more likely to target a home that cannot be observed by neighbors or a passersby. If your home and landscape is well-lit, criminals are more likely to pass it by, since an attempted break-in on your property would require them to step into the light, leaving them vulnerable and exposed.

January 6, 2016 By Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Columbia SC

backyard landscape lighting Columbia SCOne of our favorite parts of the job is watching our clients’ faces light up once they see the dramatic transformation and enhancements an outdoor lighting system creates for their home immediately after installation.

Share the light and get a more balanced, polished look for the entire house by expanding your design and upgrading your outdoor lighting system in additional spaces.

There’s one way to upgrade your outdoor lighting and get an incredibly noticeable difference without digging into the actual wiring and getting too technical: make the switch from old-fashioned halogen bulbs to newer, more energy-efficient LED outdoor lighting.

South Carolina Gamecock Football Season is Almost Upon Us. Make Sure Your Post Game Parties Can Last Outdoors Once the Sun Has Gone Down.

August 12, 2015 By Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Columbia SC

At Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Columbia, we know the level of celebration that goes into a post game victory party. With early evening kickoff times lined up, you’re going to want to make sure your outdoor lighting is adequate for your cookouts and post game parties. Not only will you add safety and aesthetic value to your home, but your home will be the talk of everyone at the party.

When it comes to Columbia patio lighting, we make sure to implement a design that will highlight your deck or patio’s perimeter. In doing so, you will have a boundary of light that bounces off the surrounding plants and even the trees. By adding illumination to carefully thought out areas, you’ll also eliminate any areas that would become potential tripping hazards come sundown.
