LED Outdoor Light Technology!
LED Landscape Lighting is energy efficient, low maintenance, provides the same beautiful light output as halogen bulbs, and can last up to 10 times longer than your typical halogen system.

Consider the LED advantages:
- Energy efficiency – Up to 80% savings in electricity compared to halogen.
- Longer bulb life – 40,000+ Hour Life VS. Halogen’s 5,000 Hour Life. No bulbs to change for 15 years.
- Instant On – No flicker, no delay.
- Added durability – Operates in extreme heat and cold.
7 Ways to light up the night!
Path & Area Lighting
Highlight pathways, entryways, steps, decking, and low lying features of your landscape. Path & area lighting provides a safely lit area for traffic to and from your home and an illuminated accent to any outdoor living space.
Up Lighting
Highlight architectural features of your home including columns, peaks, flags, and address signage. Light up the taller focal points of your landscape including specimen trees.
Down Lighting
Hide your fixtures in trees or overhangs, and highlight areas such as patios, decks, play areas, or any other entertaining areas you may have.
Hardscape, Steps, & Deck Lighting
Illuminate deck staircases, floors, and railings, retaining walls, stone staircases and paver patios. These lights are discrete and help illuminate along hardscape structures when the typical installation of fixture is not an option.
.
Underwater Lighting
Underwater lighting is great for bringing your ponds, water features and more to life at night. The fixtures used for the underwater application fit right into your existing landscape lighting system.
Back Lighting
Silhouette your favorite tree or art object including fountains or statuary. This can make for a very unique look.
Security lighting
Light up those dark spots around your home including doorways, areas of heavy landscaping surrounding windows, or provide a visible pathway of light to your home from the street. Eliminating dark areas where intruders can hide is an effective crime deterrent.
Proactive Lighting Maintenance
Why do I need to have a professional service my system every year?
- Fixtures – Failed fixtures often go unnoticed and can cause a blemish to your illuminated landscape. Fixtures should be straightened, cleaned, and reset for proper light beam spread and brightness.
- Bulbs – Improper replacement of the light bulb can result in blown fuses and malfunction. Bulbs should be replaced that have failed or diminished in brightness. Typical halogen light bulbs have a life of 12-16 months.
- Timers – Should be checked for functionality and reset.
- Wires – Wires over time can surface or become damaged from weather, traffic, or erosion. Surfaced wires need to be repaired if necessary and reburied.
- Connections – A check of the connections, transformers, and voltage levels ensures that your lighting system is calibrated properly for optimal function and lifespan.
- Landscape Vegetation – Plants and shrubs overgrowing your lighting fixtures will obstruct the intended light spread. Overgrowth should be trimmed that is obstructing important light.
