The concrete house - an architectural beauty

2/9/2020

by LED Outdoor

 
​Perched on the hillside of Springfield in South Australia, this modern crafted home is certainly hard to miss. The surrounding landscape is boldly dominated by the exterior use of exposed concrete and natural stone. Stepping through the gates, an instant feeling of intrigue entices you. Our Luna Flex Mini Strip lighting effortlessly illuminates the staircases, and well balanced landscape lighting  guides you into this architectural wonder.

​The versatility of our Luna Flex Strip Light plays hero to the external and internal elements of the home. By illuminating the bottom of the outdoor steppers it evokes a sense of floating whilst also providing safety. Internally, the Luna Flex is used to to accent key features without being overly intrusive.

The industrial interior of the home is complimented by the injection of colourful art and eclectic furnishings. The Unios Kobe Track Light sits recessed within the concrete ceiling; minimalistic enough not to take away from the art in each room but flexible enough to highlight it. By incorporating the Titanium Semi Micro Downlights into the the crystal ceiling pendant, a soft shadowed light dances on the concrete floor adding a welcomed softness to the room.

Although being completely formed of concrete, this home still utilised both recessed and surface mounted downlights to achieve their desired aesthetics and functionality. Attention to detail was executed at every point. From the soft curves of the Titanium Semi Recessed downlights in the shower to the set-in shadow lines that allowed the Kobe track lighting become part of the structure, the outcome is simply to be in awe of.

Taking you further into the heart of the home you are greeted by the floating EcoSmart fireplace that accentuates the relaxed atmosphere and connects you to many adjoining spaces. To the left the Kitchen takes advantage of our LED strip lighting, recessed Titanium downlights and the reflected light from the Madrid wall lights. To the right you are exposed to the rich timber detailing of the Living room that is accented by our Unios Titanium Surface Mounted Downlights. The protruding black cannisters reduce unwanted glare and add to the architectural statement of this room.

​Set a short distance away, the outdoor room takes on the breathtaking views of the Adelaide skyline complete with a well equipped outdoor kitchen and luxurious in-ground pool. The surrounding landscape is simple so not to draw away from the main attraction, and our surface mounted downlights can be controlled easily for ambience via the Casambi Bluetooth mesh system.

​It really is a home to immerse yourself in and enjoy the many aspects that it has to offer.

How to control glare with landscape lighting

31/7/2018

by LED Outdoor

 
Have you ever been momentarily blinded by lighting as you've been walking along a pathway maybe around a pool or decking or possibly in a garden? It doesn't make the space very comfortable, so today I just wanted to go through the different options that we can offer to help create a more relaxing environment for all.
Picture
​Uplighting with inground lights is obviously one of the hardest areas to prevent glare from lighting. It's particularly important to reduce glare in areas where the lights are in direct pathways. On a daily basis we are helping our clients choose lights that create distinctive lighting effects with either our honeycomb lenses or low washing lights  that  look sophisticated and clean. The honeycomb lens sits under the glass and creates a shield from the light source right until the moment you step on top of it. It does reduce the amount of light coming out of the fitting but we do have a range of fittings in various sizes and wattages to cover a number of applications.
   Honeycomb lens                   Uplighting along walk ways        Low washing lights

​Our low washing in ground LED lights like our Keo Horizons and Radius lights are particularly popular for stair treads, stepped pavers and even around pools to wash light across a pathway without any light shining up into your eyes. For driveways they are also really practical as unlike the more traditional uplights that just create a spot on the ground like a runway they wash outwards.

Amos directional in ground light                        Keo 2W in ground - Deep frosted face                  
We love our little Amos in ground lights. The LED chip is set down a little in the fitting and has an adjustable tilt of 15degrees which both help with reduced glare. These fittings are great to highlight retaining walls, brick columns or timber/steel posts.

For the more classic deck lighting that uses inground lights to indicate the edge or border of an entertaining area, our Keo 2W LED light with deep frosted lens is the guy you want. It is dull enough to be pleasant on the eye when walking directly over or near it, plus its solid construction is suitable for seaside residences or urban oasis's.
Picture
Also for a point of difference check out the Orbit mini step lights for the edge of decking or recessed into the riser of steps like these pictures above and below. We love the elegant detailing that is created by the fine ring of light and they are really well priced.

We have a good selection of inground lights that are suitable for not only residential but commercial applications as well. Asymmetrical inground lights or our adjustable lens options are really useful for uplighting flag poles and large walls to create impact and attention.

Garden lighting is all about ambience so its crucial to ensure that there is no glare created from lights particularly fittings that are close to the house or in areas where you will be walking past on a regular basis. Positioning the lights correctly is part of the process but sometime lights can be viewed from various angles so its not always as straight forward as that. With our Lotus spike lights and our Willow spike lights we give clients the option of a glare guard which provides a shield around the light. The best thing is that they are made from our durable machined aluminium and treated the same as our lights which are anodised and then twice powdercoated. We don't do things by halves, we like to do it properly the first time. See the image below of a close up on our Lotus light with and without the glare guard.

As a final note, lighting should create a feeling of comfort. It really can transform your indoors or outdoors space with the correct type of lighting. Talk to us about how you want to use your space and we'll go through the considerations that will help you decide on what and how to use your lighting to get the right effect. Love your life!

1. FIREFLY SPIKE LIGHT
Picture
Once you've seen this little guy in action you'll be using them in all your designs. Well priced, reliable, discreet and so versatile. Uplight trees to around 2.5m H, low shrubs, decorative screens, wash low along paths, uplight walls with garden bed in front.
​
Picture
2. ASTRO STEP LIGHT
Picture
Surface mounted, this compact and slimline wall light really creates an impact. The 24V connection allows easy cable installation into garden beds for retaining walls like shown above. Also perfect for the side walls of stairs, on pillars, above entry intercoms and low walls.

3. SOPHIA PATH LIGHT
Picture
These photos just capture perfectly how effective the Sophia path light is. Easily hidden amongst plants, especially hedging, so that all you really see is the effect of the light. One 24V DC driver can run a multitude of lights, so where practical it's nice to create repetition with lighting to emphasise length.
Picture

​4. ZERON MINI WALL LIGHTS
Picture
Picture
Clean, minimalistic and versatile is how we best describe the Zeron Mini's. We get these fittings made in 24V and 240V so they can suit a range of applications. Think garage and exterior wall lights, post or pillar lights, alfresco rooms or contemporary open framed structures made from timber or steel. 
​
5. AXIS SPOT LIGHT - 240V
Picture
Looking for a clean and modern spot light that can really light the way? These Axis lights have an incredible output that will have you incorporating them into every design. The smooth rotation point allows this to be wall or ceiling mounted, and the 3 various wattages give you the flexibility to bring them internally as well as externally. This is a fitting that needs to be touched and played with to appreciate how good they really are so please come in and see us at our Kent Town Showroom sometime soon!
​
6. KEO HORIZON INGROUND LIGHT
Picture
Looking for a point of difference to highlight a deck or path? The Keo Horizon's create little to no glare and add interest to areas where standard in-ground lights would have previously been used. Really effective in paved stepping stones, along driveways, stair treads, decking and path ways. Available in one direction or two directions as shown in picture.

"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!"
