Outdoor Lighting For Outdoor Living

Designing an outdoor functional lightscape takes a lot of preparation and planning. Outdoor lighting involves more than installing a few spotlights and lining pathways with solar lights. It’s about creating visual appeal through intentional design and placement of accent lights. This distinction is present when you can tell the difference between a DIY landscape lighting property and one that went with an experienced professional. An expert design team will have in-depth knowledge of a variety of lighting techniques, know how to play with light and shadows, and can create a cohesiveness that ties it all together while showing off a home’s best features.

Low voltage lighting offers a multitude of options while expanding your outdoor living space. The benefits include energy conservation, affordability, longevity, and family-friendly safety features. The Mobile Illumination team are experts when it comes to planning and designing with low voltage outdoor lighting.

Solar has some clear benefits but don’t hold up to its electric counterparts. Solar lights depend on solar energy, which means if they are not spending enough time during the day in full sunlight they won’t fully charge and produce enough light at night. In addition to not being quite as bright as an electrical option, when used as an ambient light can cast an undesirable bluish tint. In low lighting and cloudy days solar lights tend not to last through an entire night and the strength of their illumination suffers.

The most common option is to have your outdoor lights connected to timers in which you can have on different groups. Set them to come on at a specified time and auto adjust to the time of year. Another popular options is to control your lights with a phone app. You can create groups, themes, change colors, as well as dimming modifications.

The experts at Mobile Illumination use top-quality outdoor products that are skillfully engineered and tested to withstand harsh weather conditions in coastal areas.
