Living in the Tampa area for so long I sometimes forget that many people outside of Florida do not know about lanai’s. To Florida natives, lanai’s are often the favorite parts of our homes. Whether it’s a small space for just a table and some comfortable chairs or a larger space that contains an outdoor kitchen and pool area, lanais are as common in Florida as is the amount of sunshine we receive.
In most cases, lanais contain a covered area that is supplied with plenty of light. But, if you have pool with a screened enclosure, often times it is difficult to get sufficient lighting in that area. That’s where Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Clearwater and Tampa Bay can help. We have a landscape lighting fixture that fits perfectly into any type of lanai.
We often talk about our Tampa landscape lighting fixtures for their quality, beauty and durability in the salty Florida elements. All of those features remain true with this deck/wall light and in addition to these attributes, it also gives off a powerful amount of light for such a small fixture. This slender option can be integrated into the lanai structure, attached to the framing to give off enough ambient light to let the entertainment safely continue long into the night. It’s brass finish in antiqued to be discreet and blend in with its surroundings. If all this weren’t enough, this little outdoor lighting fixture comes with our advanced LED technology to provide energy efficiencies.
We often talk about the energy efficiencies of our LED outdoor lighting fixtures because that is one of the deciding factors that steer our clients towards LEDs. The technology burns cooler than halogen bulbs and last much longer, up to 50,000 hours. And, because of the advanced technology, maintenance costs are much lower than with halogen systems. And because LEDs use less wattage, they can easily be tied into your exiting Tampa landscape lighting system and quite possibly the same transformer.
If you’re looking for ways to spend more hours of your evenings outdoors under the serene surroundings of your lanai, give us a call. We’d be happy to design a Tampa outdoor lighting plan that highlights your pool area, landscaping and architectural features.
