To be an artist or to possess artistic ability one must have the right balance of vision and skill. Artists surround us in all walks of life and they often have careers in which art plays an integral part. Although painters, wood crafters and sculptors are the professions one would think of first, artists can also be found in the culinary arena, the field of medicine, the automotive industry, building contract companies and landscape businesses. Why, even in our industry of outdoor lighting design and installation, our team members here at Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Clearwater & Tampa Bay are considered masters of the art of light and shadow.
As such, we create custom lighting designs (our artwork), that are a combination of soft ambient lighting and task lighting which heightens the textures, architectural elements and colors of your home or commercial property; increases the functionality and safety of areas and structures on your property; and adds complexity and depth to your garden and landscape. Using private residences and commercial buildings along with their surrounding property as our canvases, we create our unique style of lighting artwork for clients all throughout the Tampa Bay and surrounding areas with traditional Outdoor Lighting Perspectives fixtures and the addition of Attraction Lights’ artistic sculptural lighting fixtures.
Attraction Lights are the opus of Lyle Braund which originate from his many years of creating artistic garden lighting layouts and beautifully tailored landscape light designs for his landscape design build company. For more than 12 years now, he has focused his artistic energies on the sculptural designing of distinctive lighting fixtures which provide excellent LED lighting and can stand alone as incredible works of art. With geometric, abstract, or nature-like designs, their shadow pattern lighting adds drama and beauty to any area in which they are installed, while helping to direct the eye through the landscape.
Although the majority of Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Clearwater & Tampa Bay’s lighting designs are built upon the foundation of “focus on the effect, not the fixture”, there’s always an exception to the rule. Some properties include a space which needs the special enhancement of a lighting fixture which “has a strong, sculptural presence during the day, and are a beautiful, glowing presence at night,” as these marvelous illuminations are described by Randall Whitehead, nationally known lighting designer, author, and speaker. We absolutely agree and feel that these wonderfully artistic elements are as intriguing and as they are captivating. They can be used as a stunning work of art in your residential or commercial landscape, or as a conversation starting centerpiece or focal point in your private garden.

These pagoda-like pathway lights, driveway lights, bollards, area lights, or garden sculptures come in a variety of materials, sizes and pattern styles. Their unique pattern styles are formed within the metal housing which cast a distinct light and shadow pattern on the surfaces surrounding the light fixture. The interplay between object and shadow is enchanting, almost supernatural. Unique features include a light source hidden inside the cap of the fixtures (this prevents the glare typically associated with a traditional pagoda light and many of the bollards available today), inserts made of art glass and acrylic as well as those made of traditional clear glass, signature design elements and the ability to integrate custom graphics and fixture design for a distinguished outdoor lighting design.
Attraction Lights’ LED illuminated sculptural fixtures supply abundant visual interest while adding depth within your landscape and garden through your lighting design, thus giving you more options for artistic lighting that is enthralling and full of allure.
