Start with what you want to see Landscape lighting lights the yard rather than the building: walkways, beds, trees, steps, driveways, the path from the car to the door. The goal is to see the tree, not the light pointed at it. Done badly, you get a line of glowing dots along the path and not much else. The pieces of a plan Most plans start with the path to the door, which is the piece that earns its cost every single evening. A light aimed up into a tree keeps the yard fro

The oversight The front of a home absorbs a lot of budget. Every bit of it is judged in the sun. Then the sun goes down and none of it is visible. For a solid stretch of the year, the evening view is the one most people get.Put together, none of this is exotic. The uncommon part is thinking about it before the sun goes down, not the budget. The houses that look good at night are almost always the ones where somebody thought about it. The elements that carry at a distance A

The roof edge is the strongest line on the building From the street, what you actually see at night is an outline, and the roof edge draws that outline. Nothing else on the house runs that far uninterrupted, and nothing else is backed by open air. Put light on it and the house has an edge again, which is the effect people are actually after.That is the reason the roofline gets the hardware, and why one line up there outperforms a dozen fixtures at ground level. It is the mo

The hours nobody thinks about A commercial building is visible to more people at night than most owners assume. A dark building reads as closed, and in a quieter way it reads as not there. A lit one stays in the mental map of everybody who drives that road.None of this is about making the building pretty. The building is on display whether the doors are open or not, and lighting decides whether it says anything after five. It is one of the few exterior expenses that runs ev

Why this keeps coming up around Greenville Around the Upstate, more rooflines are lit every December, and the lights are not coming down in January. What you are looking at is a fixed LED track, put up once and left up. What it means for an Upstate house Christmas gets people to pick up the phone. The reason it holds up is the other eleven months. Warm white on the eaves gives the front of the house shape after dark. Then there are team colors, birthdays and whatever the s

What temporary means here Most outdoor lighting is built to stay. Event lighting exists for a date. Weddings, receptions, celebrations: temporary displays for a specific occasion. That changes the whole approach, because there is no version of this you fix next weekend.Which changes the working relationship. An installation is judged over years. An event is judged in about four hours. So the planning front loads, the contingencies get discussed out loud, and nothing importa

What makes these different These get installed one time and stay. That single sentence is most of the appeal. The hardware is an LED track run along the roofline and eaves, matched to the color of your trim so daylight hides it. Not just the one week in December Christmas is the reason most people call, though it ends up being one setting among many.

Is there a difference between lighting a house and outlining one? The word sounds like an upgrade charge, but there is an actual distinction under it. Outlining a building traces its edges. Architectural lighting picks out what the building is made of. One treats the house as a silhouette. The other reads the gables, the columns, the entry and the stone.You do not have to name any of it to know what you are looking at. The useful test is whether somebody can point at your b
