Planning Your Systems

Although the actual technical installation is a very crucial step in how the lighting system performs, it’s not the 1st step. Planning is key to any project and landscape lighting is not any different. What do you want to accomplish? What do you want to highlight? What kind of access do you have; under patio, outdoor kitchen, structures (pergolas, decks, roof, etc)? It can be about Safety, Security, or just SERENITY. All are great reasons for illuminating your space. Low voltage lighting is hands down the best choice for residential outdoor lighting. As the landscape evolves: plants mature, trees gain height and breadth, & shrubbery beds are reconfigured. A lighting system must be flexible to encompass these changes with minimal disruption of the initial installation. The ease with which changes are accomplished with a low voltage system are key factors in accommodating the slow-paced dynamic of the outdoor environment. Planning for the present includes planning for the future.
