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. 
 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.  by

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.  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.
 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!

 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.  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. 
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.  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!  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.
