What people mean by outdoor lighting
"Outdoor lighting" means different things to different people. For some it is the roof edge, for others the walkway and the trees, and for plenty of people it is the dark part of the property they never fixed. They are related jobs with different answers.
Lighting the house
On the building, a permanent LED system traces the roof edge and the gables, stays up all year, and changes color from an app. One install handles the holidays and the everyday.
Lighting the yard
Below the roofline, landscape lighting does the walk, the beds and the trees. Out back, patio lighting extends the evening. Security lighting is for the corners, which is a separate job from the curb appeal work. Accent lighting picks out the details.
How to decide what you need
If the complaint is that the front of the house goes dark, the roofline is the answer. If the complaint is about the path to the door, start with landscape lighting. The yearly ladder routine has one obvious fix. Most properties end up with two of the three.
The commercial side
On commercial property, the same work answers different questions. A lit facade makes the building findable at night. Outdoor seating needs its own lighting to be used. Parking and walkway lighting is a safety matter, and entry lighting sets the tone for a property before anybody is through the door.
The free consultation

The way you use the property is what the design should follow.You should come out of it able to explain the plan to somebody else. An unexplained plan is not something to sign off on.A few details make the first call go further. The house height, the shape of the roof, the driveway, and whatever landscaping is out there.
