There is a big difference in the look of high quality LED or halogen lighting and solar.
When homeowners decide that it’s time to add outdoor lighting to their property, path lighting is typically a first step. Seeing the beautiful outdoor lighting on a neighbor’s property can often prompt homeowners to pick up a few lights while roaming the home improvement store over the weekend. Enticed by the energy savings that solar lights can provide, they pick up solar path lights, do a quick install, and eagerly await sunset. Unfortunately, once darkness falls, they are disappointed. The path looks a lot like an airport runway with malfunctioning lights. Their new path lights are dim and a cold blue color. That’s not what they wanted at all, and now they’re out the cost of the less than satisfactory fixtures.
Not all outdoor lighting is created equal, and with current technology, solar lighting does not provide the illumination and color that is associated with quality outdoor lighting. In order for your paths to be clearly illuminated and to inspire feelings of warmth and welcome, you will need to consider low voltage halogen or LED outdoor lighting and eliciting the services of a professional outdoor lighting designer.
An experienced outdoor lighting designer can help you avoid the “runway” look.
Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Clearwater & Tampa Bay is the area’s premier outdoor lighting design company. We draw on our many years of design and installation experience to create some of the most beautiful, elegant outdoor lighting in the Tampa Bay area. Using the highest quality fixtures and components, we can create path lighting that turns heads and increases your curb appeal because of our knowledge of light and the fixtures that produce it. Rather than that cold bluish light that reminds you of glow sticks, you can have clear visibility and beautiful light that bathes your paths and highlights your flower and foliage beds. We will strategically place your path lights so that illumination spills onto your path, and the design doesn’t attract small planes. Additionally, our beautiful copper BB-07 path light will blend into your landscape, doing its job without drawing attention to itself.
