Spring is officially here and it’s time to reevaluate your outdoor lighting. As you and your family start to spend more time outside in the evening hours, it’s important that your property is well-lit. Check out our top tips for spring outdoor lighting from the experts at Luminocity and then schedule your next consultation or maintenance visit with us!
Improve safety and security
One of the best parts about outdoor lighting is the safety that it can offer. As you spend time outside in the twilight or post-sunset hours, you’ll want to avoid tripping over outdoor furniture, steps or cracks in your sidewalk. Path lighting can guide the way to your door for both family and guests, especially those with mobility or sight concerns. Hardscape lighting along your outdoor stairs or a sitting wall can improve visibility as well.
Not only does outdoor lighting improve the safety of anyone enjoying your home’s outdoor spaces, but it can also prevent theft or vandalism. Security lights are a major deterrent to burglars, and outdoor lighting is correlated with a 39% decrease in crime according to a study conducted with the Police Department and Housing Authority in New York City. In addition to path lighting, we can also install flood lights and motion sensors for your family’s peace of mind.
Utilize different lighting positions
A huge benefit to working with the lighting technicians at Luminocity is the expertise we can provide for your spring outdoor lighting design. Our company is one of only a few outdoor lighting Hoosier companies to be a part of the Association of Outdoor Lighting Professionals, which sets the standard for excellence in our industry. Plus, our owner and his senior installer are two of only five Certified Low Voltage Lighting Technicians in Indiana, providing you with top-level lighting design knowledge and a professional installation every time.
A few of the strategies that we use to make your home and landscaping look its best include the positioning of your light fixtures. Downlighting is when a fixture is positioned up high in order to shine down for a gentle lighting effect, which works great for front porches and patios. Uplighting, on the other hand, creates bold shadows with trees and other features. You can also trust your Luminocity technician to NEVER position a light anywhere that will interfere with life in the home, such as below a window.
Highlight your landscaping
We especially love the chance to showcase your landscaping features with our spring outdoor lighting design. We can outline your garden paths, highlight beloved trees or light up your prize-winning flowers so that you can enjoy your property even after the sun goes down. If you have a water feature in your home’s landscaping, this is an especially high priority for our outdoor lighting services. At Luminocity, we offer well lighting, pond lighting and pool lights to make the water glow all evening long, and even make it possible to take a moonlight dip!
We know that the essence of great landscape lighting is to create a dramatic effect and capture key artistic features. We also know that each project is different with different requirements, so we will tailor a custom exterior illumination solution to fit your needs. And with our Annual Maintenance Plan, you’ll never have to worry about your lighting system falling into disrepair, with no charge for any minor service needs or to change any bulb that burns out during the next 12 months.
