Light up your Landscape

When it comes to designing a new yard or updating an existing landscape, lighting is often treated as an afterthought. "I raise the subject when consulting with my clients. But many are not interested in spending the extra money, or they don't understand the importance of illuminating their yard at night," says Nick from Yard Stick.
Garden lighting serves multiple purposes. Illuminating pathways, decks, and porches makes them safer to navigate and deters would-be intruders. The soft, ambient glow creates an appealing atmosphere. Besides enhancing the beauty of a garden, lighting extends the time spent outdoors. "If a yard is properly lit, people are more apt to linger outside after it’s dark," Nick says.
Coriole LED Garden Lighting
When considering lighting, first evaluate your property. Make a list of trafficked areas and living spaces. Look online and in home improvement stores to familiarize yourself with different types of lighting. Peruse websites such as Houzz and Pinterest for inspiration and consult with your LED Outdoor designer. Lighting can be added in stages as time and budget allows.
Most homeowners consider safety first. Make sure paths, stairs, porches, and driveways are well lit. Safety lighting can be beautiful as well as functional. Next, consider the rest of the yard. Where would you spend more time after dark if there was adequate light? A backyard deck or spacious front porch can become an extension of your home, suitable for evening entertaining or alfresco dining. Use lights to attractively highlight architectural features, such as fencing, trees, fountains, or statuary.
Alfresco LED Lighting
Linden Park residents Barry and Janine collaborated with Troy to renovate their urban yard. Lighting was regarded as an integral component of the overall design. The entire system consists of a single transformer and 54 efficient LED fixtures that draw under 200 watts of power. The garden lights are setup in multiple zones that they can all be controlled independently. Importantly the lights in the alfresco area can also be dimmed. Three years after completion, Barry and Janine are so pleased with the result. "I'm so glad we invested in a comprehensive, high-quality lighting system. It has performed flawlessly and makes the space so much more inviting. We just love entertaining outdoors".

Why Flood Lights are not a Bright Idea for Garden Lighting

Tennis Court Lighting
When it comes to garden lighting flood lights are really not our friends. When we design lighting for peoples gardens we are very conscious about creating an atmosphere of relaxation and beauty. Too often people think that a garden can be lit by simply flooding it with light. I guess this is true however why would you want to make your garden look like its daytime?? 
Garden lighting is all about painting a picture and highlighting features you may not ordinarily see during the day. Having elements of light and dark creates interest and contrast within the garden. The last thing we want in garden lighting is to be blinded by a light in our eyes. So where ever possible we ensure that lights are either discretely placed or mounted high enough so they are not within your normal line of sight.

Flood light.
Flood lights do however have their place. If you are looking at security lighting LED flood lights are a very efficient way of providing illumination of large areas. They are also great for activity areas like tennis courts and swimming pools. We often recommend flood lights are placed over swimming pool and lawn areas so adequate light can be provided for safety. This is particularly important if kids are playing football on the lawn or sports in the pool. 

Overall, ensure that the flood lights can be controlled separately to your garden lighting and then you won't be compromising the look of your garden. 

If you are interested in our range of flood lights you can see them here otherwise please don't hesitate to contact us so we can help with your next lighting project.

"I had been looking for outdoors lights for our wedding reception venue for a while, and I kept come back to LED Outdoor. As we are located in the Hunter Valley, I thought surely there was someone local who could provide the same product. I eventually gave up my search, and rang Troy at LED Outdoor. His customer service, knowledge and advice has been incredible. The lights arrived in 48 hours (which in itself was incredible!), were installed easily by our electricians and look absolutely amazing. I would not go anywhere else in future. The lighting has taken the presentation of our property to another level. Thanks Troy!"
