Outdoor Lightning In Dallas

Grilling season has finally arrived! You can step outside and smell the barbecues being fired up across the street. This means that you will likely be spending more time outdoors, as well, especially during the evening when it is cooler outside. If you have a landscape lighting system installed, it is the ideal time to have it serviced. With regular outdoor lighting maintenance, your lights will work without issue year after year. However, if you aren’t sure whether or not this is something you need to invest in, learn about some of the signs of a problem with your landscape lighting here.

Outdoor string lights are a classic lighting design during the holiday season. For years, people have strung them around branches in trees to make them glow. I love that affect, but it’s a lot of work! You have to get up on a ladder and then navigation a string of lights around branches and leaves. Starry lights create the same beautiful affect without the work.

Outdoor Lightning Maintenance

At Outdoor Lighting Perspectives, we pride ourselves on enhancing our clients’ outdoor living experience by increasing their home’s curb appeal and allowing them to linger longer outdoors. The design of the outdoor and landscape lighting system is incredibly important to its quality. When tackled incorrectly it doesn’t allow you to spend more time outdoors or make your home look better.

Each and every one of our professional outdoor lighting systems is designed with our clients’ goals in mind. We like to understand what they are expecting from the lighting and how they would to use their outdoor living space.

With clear goals in mind, our trained designers can lay out a system using a combination of many different outdoor lighting techniques to create the perfect effect. Some of those techniques include:

• Uplighting – installing fixtures at ground left with the light shooting upward to illuminate facades and key landscaping elements.
  
• Path lighting – using knee-height fixtures that shoot light downward to light traveled pathways and outdoor living spaces.
  
• Deck and Patio lighting – creating a subtle lightscape with lights around your outdoor living structures so you can use the space whenever you’d like.
  
• Shadowing – causing a tree, fountain, statue or another element to cast a beautiful shadow against a wall.
  
• Spotlighting – shooting light directly at an object to make it stand out. Read full article here…
  

The Benefits Of Outdoor Lightning

Good outdoor lighting helps to make an area more secure. Burglars and other criminals choose to work at night because the darkness helps to obscure their activities. Take away that advantage, and your property is less likely to be the target of criminal activity.
