The Importance of Landscape Lighting Design in Your Project

Coastal Source lighting will illuminate your design/build projects and help you to stand out

Designers, architects, and builders know that they have to go the extra mile to impress their clients and stand out from the competition. A lot of effort might go into a home’s exterior, but when the sun goes down, all of that becomes invisible. That’s why landscape lighting is so important. It can elevate the beauty of your work and create the perfect nighttime ambiance for your clients. Our experts like to bring Coastal Source lighting to our projects because of their stellar reputation and stunning fixtures. Read on to learn the importance of landscape lighting design for your projects in Pacific Palisades, CA.

Why Work with a Lighting Designer?

Outdoor lighting is the perfect way to show off the beauty and appeal of your project’s architecture and landscape. It also impresses potential clients with the ability to control their lighting with the tap of a button, allowing them to enjoy the outdoor spaces after dark and adding an extra layer of security to their property. However, installing a landscape lighting system is not as simple as throwing a few lights throughout the backyard. Each light must be carefully placed to ensure the best illumination, wiring, and protection from the elements. Techniques such as uplighting, downlighting, moonlighting, shadowing, and more accent your project’s gardens, art, and architecture.

Types of Landscape Lighting

• Landscape lighting may add beauty and style to your property, but the most important purpose is to light your property to keep your family and guests safe after dark. For example, it is easier to navigate a path at night with proper illumination, and a well-lit yard will deter possible intruders. Brass path lighting creates a subtle illumination that lights your essential pathways and calls attention to your carefully crafted landscape design.
• Bullet lights are a versatile solution that can highlight a tree, architectural detail, or anything you can think of. They create very focused lighting spread over a wider circle. Discover details of your landscape that might not even be visible during the day, and rest assured that you will have years of corrosion-free performance because of the solid brass construction.

• Consider compact wash lights that can be mounted almost anywhere without attracting attention for sturdy and nearly invisible lighting solutions! Wash lights come in several sizes and light outputs, so you can find the perfect fixture for your unique product. In addition, all wash lights come with CREE LED technology built in, giving your clients years of efficient use.
• Illuminate stairways to beautify your yard and add an extra layer of safety with step lights that carefully light your space. Install these lights on the vertical rise of the steps or along the sidewalls, and easily install and maintain your system with the proprietary Coastal Connector.
• For gentle and discreet lighting, consider small and practical niche lighting that is easy to use in tight spaces. Install them along with your steps, hide them in rocks or paths, or create creative lighting effects throughout the property. The only limit is your imagination.
