Light up your home

Do you live in a neighborhood where neighbors meet for impromptu gatherings on a warm summer evening? Create an inviting setting with a home that is awash in light. Don’t settle for just any lighting design, however. When you work with a custom outdoor lighting designer like Luminocity, you’re working with someone who specializes only in outdoor lighting. This means you’ll partner with people like our founder, Karl Lundberg, a Certified Low Voltage Lighting Technician and Certified Outdoor Lighting Designer. Karl and his staff go beyond the ordinary to craft designs worthy of your home. They’ll spend time looking for specific focal points that can be highlighted through a combination of uplighting and downlighting, and they’ll elevate your home to starring status with inspired lighting.

Keep the pathways lit

After the sun goes down, it’s tempting to stay inside because you worry about tripping or falling in the darkness. Pathway lighting gives you a measure of security when you opt to stay outside for late-night drinks on the patio or a family gathering that continues past bedtime. Again, a company like Luminocity can install pathway lighting that is effective without being obtrusive. You want to enjoy the light without being in the spotlight!

Light your landscape

If you’re like everyone in Indiana, you’ve spent the last couple of months celebrating the return of warmer weather and coaxing your outdoor landscape back to its initial beauty. All this hard work deserves to be highlighted, and Luminocity can create masterpieces from Mother Nature’s creations. Certain features, like lush trees and foliage, cast complex and beautiful shadows when they’re professionally lit. A good landscape design also lets you enjoy your property when you’re indoors. When you look out your kitchen window after dark, what would you rather see? An inky black darkness or a beautifully lit yard that draws the eye outdoors?

Shining through water

If you’re lucky enough to have a pool, pond, or other water feature on your property, you’re going to want to enjoy them even after the sun goes down. Luminocity installs light that enhances the look of falling water and creates a soothing combination of sights and sounds for those wonderful summer nights. But water feature lighting can bring its own challenges. Underwater fixtures must have a specific Ingress Protection (IP) rating to withstand the pressure of being submerged under water. Light doesn’t travel through water like it does through air, either. Leave this job to the lighting experts at Luminocity.

Lighting the gathering spots

Do your dinner party guests tend to spill onto the deck and patio area? A professional lighting design increases your available entertaining space and encourages visitors to enjoy the comfortable temperatures we enjoy after the Indiana sun goes down.

Shining a light on the shadows

There’s a lot to love about summer, but warmer weather can also bring seasonal challenges. Sadly, our crime rates tend to heat up as the temperature rises in the summer. Fortunately, your outdoor lighting investment can pay you back in increased home security. A well-lit yard also cuts down on those light-night stumbles when you’re gathering the toys and games left over from daytime adventures.

Before we gather with our loved ones this Thanksgiving, let us recognize the things that make us thankful today and throughout the year at Luminocity.

Professional training opportunities

The Luminocity team of lighting experts is constantly working to improve their skills by attending training sessions hosted by industry-leading manufacturers. As active members of the Association of Outdoor Lighting Professionals, we also stay connected with a network of fellow lighting professionals across the United States, exchanging insights and fostering a collaborative spirit that drives innovation in the field.

Why is this important? At Luminocity, we believe there is always room for new knowledge and ideas. The Association of Outdoor Lighting Professionals provides certification and education, which gives our lighting technicians and designers new insights and information about outdoor lighting. Luminocity is home to two of only five Certified Low Voltage Lighting Technicians (CLVLT) in Indiana, as well as the only Certified Outdoor Lighting Designer (COLT). Safety, knowledge and design all matter at Luminocity.

We’re thankful for top quality suppliers

We believe a professional outdoor lighting project should rely on the best lighting fixtures. Sure, we can go to any big box store and grab something off the shelf, but we could be compromising the overall quality of the finished product. Instead, we use only professional-level durable fixtures and bulbs. We believe this extra step will pay us back in increased durability, longevity and beauty.

Quality fixtures play an important role in upgrading an existing lighting system. During the Luminocity upgrade process, we will replace mediocre fixtures with premium-quality, integrated LED fixtures. We’ll check connections and make sure the new timing systems actually work. Professional quality fixtures really do make a difference in the finished lighting project.

Thankful for a staff that pays attention to the details

Our commitment to military precision starts with Luminocity owner and founder Karl Lundberg. Karl spent 30 years in the United States Marine Corps, retiring as a Colonel. He brings his military dedication and precision to the job at Luminocity, where he and his staff strive to do each project the right way, every time. Each employee adheres to a strong work ethic. We never take shortcuts, and we don’t believe in “good enough.” In today’s competitive job market, we consider ourselves lucky to have staff who hold these same values.

Thankful to you, the customer, who deserves the best for your home

We feel honored every time a customer approaches us for an outdoor lighting design. We know there are less expensive ways of lighting your home’s exteriors, but we promise that the Luminocity difference is worth the investment. We approach each home individually, seeking the focal points that deserve to be illuminated. We’ll combine different lighting techniques like uplighting and downlighting to paint your home in intentional light. But we won’t leave you feeling like you’re living in front of floodlights. Exterior home lighting is a science. Little details have major implications, which is why you deserve a professional lighting designer for your home. Thank you for trusting us with this important project.

Here at Luminocity, we want to take a moment to wish all our friends and colleagues a happy, healthy Thanksgiving holiday. We consider ourselves lucky to have you in our lives, and we look forward to many more opportunities to shine a light on what’s important. Remember, if your current outdoor lighting isn’t up to par, give us a call and let us help you illuminate your holiday cheer. We’re here to make your home the most enchanting spot on the block. Schedule your consultation now at 317-537-8055. 

Studies have shown that outdoor lighting can cut down on crime. Read on to find out how a professional outdoor lighting design makes your home more secure, even in the darkest days of an Indiana winter.

Keep a light on your entryway

Put yourself in the shoes of a bad guy for a moment. (Don’t worry – we know you’re one of the good ones at heart.) If you’re staking out a neighborhood and you want to check a front door, are you going to choose the one that’s bathed in light, or the one that is hiding in the shadows. Well lit outdoor entrances can deter crime simply by making these areas less appealing to intruders. They’re also helpful to the homeowners. After all, who wants to worry about navigating a dark entryway or searching for your keys with only a little bit of moonlight for illumination?

Lighting the (drive)way

Many of our central Indiana homeowners are lucky enough to have mature trees on their property, which is great during the summer months when we’re all craving the shade. But Mother Nature’s canopy can create extra shadows, which is why your outdoor lighting design should include driveway and path lighting. A professional lighting design means you don’t have to worry about being blinded by the lights when you’re coming home. Instead, Luminocity’s trained lighting technicians can install lighting that is intentionally placed to add beauty as well as functionality to your home and property.

Lighting works with your security cameras

Your home is your castle, and you’ve invested in a good security camera system to keep an eye out for troublemakers. But if you’ve scrimped on a lighting system, you run the risk of creating new shadows for the cameras or even washing out images with too much lighting. Stick with a professional lighting designer like Luminocity to create a system that coordinates with your security camera.

Strike the right lighting balance

If a little bit of light can discourage intruders, surely a lot of light is a brilliant security guarantee, right? Not necessarily. Too much bright light may be counterproductive. You know those spots you see after the camera flashes? That natural reaction can temporarily prevent you from seeing what’s in the shadows. A truly efficient outdoor lighting design begins with a professional who understands how to work with light. For instance, light fixtures near windows and passages can look beautiful, but they can also interfere with the people who are inside trying to enjoy a little privacy. A professional lighting designer like Luminocity understands how to properly include filters that minimize glare and maintain the right illumination.

A good outdoor lighting design adds life to your home

Indiana loses about 130 seconds of daylight each day in the fall. Those 1.5 minutes can add up to extra dark hours over the winter months. A professional outdoor lighting design can ward off the darkness and keep it looking occupied, even if you’ve gone over the river and through the woods for a holiday gathering.

Let the trick-or-treaters handle the spooky tasks this holiday season. Banish the shadows of your home with a professionally designed outdoor lighting system by Luminocity inspired outdoor lighting. At Luminocity, we’ll use the most durable outdoor lighting fixtures to ensure that you stay in the light for years to come.
