How to get the best street appeal when selling your home

21/1/2020


by LED Outdoor

 
Summer is a busy time of the year when there is an abundant number of great looking homes on the market. For those properties looking for top dollar it's not unusual for a stylist to come through and stage the home, but have you considered how much of an impact garden lighting can make to a place?

Picture
​We live in the Adelaide Hills and we love looking at properties. Online the images are what capture you first and you can really sell yourself on a property through those photos before you even enter the front door. Many real estate agents aren't just selling you "a house" they are selling you a lifestyle. Creating a welcoming home that feels safe through the use of well positioned lights offers a sense of relaxation and allows the surrounding landscape to be taken in with the home. Lighting up features alongs the edges of the boundary will help open up a space, and low level lighting washing over or along the ground will create balance to the eye and assist with a feeling of security.

Useful areas to add in some light:

  • Entry gate
  • Driveways - if possible*
  • Pathways
  • Large Feature Tree/s 
  • Around Pool Areas incl. seating area
  • Entertaining areas 
  • Fire Pit areas
What lights do I choose* Getting cable access to the far side of a driveway may not be an easy process. Sometimes it may be possible to gain access from the garage.

Is garden lighting expensive?

As with all property investing it's about getting the right balance between adding value to your home whilst not over capitalising. If you're feeling handy it is possible to save some money through the installation process by doing it yourself. If choosing this option we do suggest you be considerate to the next homeowner and detail where cabling is running and where they can find the driver. If getting in a trades person maybe leave the next owners the details of who has installed the lights as if something does go wrong or more needs to be added, it can be done with least amount of hassle.

The important thing is that if you don't have any lighting currently in your garden you don't need to go over board. All homes will already have their front door lit so it's just a matter of focusing on a few key points as mentioned above that will create the most impact. If you find yourself stumped of where to start please get in contact with us to guide you through the process.

Exciting new lighting range here now!

1/9/2019


by LED Outdoor

 
When it comes to lighting your garden you really don't want to see the light if you can help it. But when you do see it, you want it to compliment the style of your surroundings, offer a good amount of light and not cause any glare that creates discomfort. Upon listening to our clients we are super excited to announce our newest range of garden lighting that really focuses on these key elements.
​

BANKSEY- Spike Light

Driven by our ambition for something extraordinary, we designed the Banksey with versatility in mind. This unique slimline spike spotlight can be directed laterally to provide a beautiful wide wash over low plantings or pathways. Alternatively tilt the hood up to illuminate walls or hedging with the upmost grace.   
​
The discreet nature and earthy bronze finish has made it a new favourite amongst landscapers and designers alike. Made from brass, this fitting will age elegantly over time providing excellent light control and ensuring  a beautiful ambience without the glare.
​

SAFFIRE - Step Light

Our beautifully designed Saffire Step Light is smaller than a credit card! Its compact size has been cleverly crafted to withstand the elements and enhance its surrounds. The elegant curves and slim profile create a timeless style, whilst the efficient 1W LED hides neatly away to prevent any glare. The unique central panel discreetly hides all the mounting and connection points, resulting in the ideal luminaire for steps, low walls, pillars, or entry gates. Perfect lighting for inside or outside.

FLORENCE - Festoon Lighting

Picture
Capturing the romance and magic that decorative lighting can bring to a space, our Florence festoon lighting sets the scene with a gentle golden warm white glow. Perfect for permanent exterior installations in commercial or residential settings, the 10 metre cable lengths can be easily cut down or connected together to form longer runs. 1W globes are spaced every 50cm, specifically designed in clear polycarbonate for safety. The Florence is popular for use in public spaces, cafes, pubs, wineries, and residential entertaining areas. To offer our clients complete piece of mind we also offer custom festoon globe spacing and lengths - available upon request for large orders.

STIK - Path Light

Simple elegant lines with the benefit of an adjustable head makes our Stik Path Light a gorgeous addition into any landscaped garden. The natural warmth of copper and brass will age gracefully over time to blend into its surrounds. It is best positioned along pathways, driveways and alongside steps.
Picture

SPARKKLE- Outdoor Pendant

Like the magic of a clear starry night, the Sparkkle Outdoor Pendant will enchant your garden with a firefly-like illumination. The dedicated warm white LED will ensure that you won’t be changing over globes from a hard-to-reach location. The black powder-coated finish will blend effortlessly into its surrounds. Suspend your pendant from tree branches or outdoor structures and allow this feature to add ambience and a little Sparkkle to your garden.

Bollard Lighting - 240V and 24V Options

27/9/2018


by LED Outdoor

 
Have you considered using bollard lighting at your home? Many people think that bollards are more of an industrial type of light seen in public spaces like car parks, schools and parks, but they can also provide a good lighting solution in residential spaces too when used in the right space.

In the past it's been very hard to find bollards that aren't mains/240V which requires replacing existing fittings or a lot of underground work which can be costly (little lone the fitting). With an ever growing field of talented landscape designers and architects here in Australia, the lighting industry has shifted and brought to the table some truely beautiful lights. 

Castell Bollard at Golding Wines
New to our range this Spring is our gorgeous Evio Bollard from Unios. We've worked together to create a 24V DC range of bollard lighting that is opening up opportunities for landscapers, allowing them to install good practical lighting for clients driveways and large open areas. The 24V Evio is currently in a 600mm height with either a single or twin directional head. To make installation even easier there is an option to attach a sturdy spike to the base so you don't need to create a concrete pad, that option is also available though for those who require it.
Picture

Our Castell 24V bollards have been on the scene for a while now and have proven popular in some of our beautiful wineries and caravan parks as well as homes around Adelaide. At 900mm in height their larger appearance makes them ideal for bordering carpark areas or long driveways. A recent job that we were proud to be part of was supplying these lights into the gorgeous Ukaria in Mt Barker.
Picture
​For a more subtle effect or front yards where a lower bollard height may be more effective our Hunza 300mm bollard light is a keen player. We find that these little guys are good for smaller courtyards and front yards where lower plantings and pathways need illumination. Hunza have a long standing reputation in the industry as a supplier of high quality fittings, and their range gives us some wonderful choices in low voltage path lights in various finishes.

Contemporary 240V Bollard Lights

If you're looking at replacing some existing bollards lights then more than likely you'll find that they are 240V. There are a few options that we recommend for this application and its not all just about the looks :-P

Evio LED Bollard

​All three styles are available in both the 600mm and 900mm heights in our 240V range. As mentioned above, the Evio and the Castell bollards also come in low voltage but in one size only.

Helpful tips when researching LED bollard lights:

​1) Trying to provide practical lighting that doesn't create glare is big on our hit list. Look for bollards in which you're not staring at the light source. In our 3 main designs the LED chips are never seen, rather they use reflected textured surfaces or are positioned where the eye can not see them. 

2) Stainless Steel and LED's are not the best of friends. To create longevity for LED globes or dedicated fittings the best materials that allow the chips to release their heat is Brass, Copper or Aluminium. Stainless Steel holds heat in and is generally only found used effectively for pond lights or on the face of inground lights.

3) Consider the colour of the light. 4000K is a cool white light and is practical around hospitals and industrial areas. 3000K is what we classify as warm white light although its not as golden as what an old incandescent globe used to be. Warm white light is a lot more gentler on the eye creating comfort at night and its what we supply throughout our work whether it be a residential home, winery or carpark. 

To conclude, don't be afraid to consider adding in some bollard lighting into your next design. Think about how much light you are trying to achieve, where the spread of light is going (so we don't create light pollution) and don't choose a fitting that will produce glare into people's eyes. 

If you ned to talk over your ideas we are here to help. Send through photo's and give us a call and we'll gladly steer you in the right direction.

​Until next time, keep enjoying the outdoors!

"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!"
