Outdoor Lighting Design explained...
What Our Clients Receive
Lighting Consultation
One of our Outdoor Lighting Designers will visit you on site at your residential or commercial site, in order to conduct an on-site survey. Our designer will canvas the site to see what lighting repairs, enhancements or complete installation services they recommend, based on your lighting goals and needs.
3D Lighting Design
Our 3D design services help to paint a picture regarding how your property might appear with light fixtures.
2D Layout
Lighting Demonstration
A 2D layout with light fixture types and quantities is provided to help our clients put an image to the costs associated with a lighting project.
Lighting Demonstration
Lighting Demonstration
Our outdoor lighting crew will set up temporary light fixtures based on your 3D design. Your dedicated designer will walk with you through your property as the sun begins to set. This will allow you to actually see how the light fixtures bring your landscape to life at night. Our crew members are on standby during this demonstration, in order to move, add or eliminate light fixtures based on your preferences. This is typically a 1.5 hour presentation.
Conduit Layout
Our designers do more than just create 3D renderings depicting potential light fixture placements. They design conduit layouts to protect underground cables in areas that can change one day or areas that you expect to change in the foreseeable future. We understand that sometimes outdoor spaces need to be remodeled in phases according to budget.
End Result
Our designers make several site visits, in order to guide and supervise our installation crews during important phases of the installation process. Ultimately, the main goal for our crews is to restore areas back to their original state, once an installation has been completed.
