Properly designed lighting can make such an impact in a landscape. That is why we have chosen to sell Kichler Landscape Lighting; they are a leader in the industry. Their quality and warranty will exceed your expectations. There are many different lighting effects that can really make a difference.
When starting to design your lighting system here are some things to consider:
1. Safety First – Lighting should be used to illuminate your home and provide security. Identify dark areas around your home.
2. Identify features that should be illuminated. Look carefully at your landscape, residence or building. Identify unique features, such as plants, trees, fountains, pots, and architectural details, that could be highlighted.
3. Think of different ways to light these areas. Step lights, downlights from the home or trees, path lights, under water, back light, spot, or flood all provide different effects.
4. Place flags in the landscape near the areas you have identified. Measure distances between them and make a list.
With this information our staff can help you pick the right fixtures for your landscape and choose the transformer or transformers to power them properly.
Another Note: Consider different transformers to set moods. Not all your lights inside are on the same switch.
We have everything you need – wire, fixtures, transformers and bulbs. Let us help you light your landscape.
