Outdoor lighting is really several different jobs
Ask ten people around Greenville what outdoor lighting means and you will get several answers. For some it is the roof edge, for others the yard, and for plenty of people it is the dark part of the property they never fixed. They are related jobs with different answers.
Lighting the house
On the building, permanent architectural lighting traces the roof edge and the gables, is left in place year round, and changes color on demand. One install handles the holidays and the everyday.
Lighting the yard
Landscape lighting takes care of paths, plantings, trees and stairs. Out back, the patio needs its own light or nobody sits there. Security lighting covers the side yard, the back of the garage and the corners of the lot. Accent lighting picks out the details.
Choosing between the options
A house that vanishes after sunset wants roofline lighting first. If the complaint is about the path to the door, path lighting comes first. If the complaint is about hanging Christmas lights every year, a permanent system answers it. Most properties end up with two of the three.
For businesses
On commercial property, the same work answers different questions. A lit facade tells people you are open. Patio lighting is what makes outdoor seating work at night. Parking and walkway lighting comes down to safety, and entry lighting sets the tone for a property before anybody is through the door.
What happens when somebody comes out
The first visit is a look at the property, not a pitch on the kitchen table. Expect to be asked where you walk, where you sit, what stays dark. The way you use the property is what the design should follow.You should come out of it able to explain the plan to somebody else. If you cannot, the design was not explained well enough.When you call, it helps to describe the property in plain terms. The house height, the roof line, how far back the house sits, and whatever landscaping is out there. Rough answers are fine. It just shortens the distance between the first call and a real plan.
Putting it together
It works better as a single design, rather than a roofline job in March and a path job in October.
