Make sure your home’s exteriors get the attention they deserve with a professional lighting installation

Beautiful outdoor lighting design can make your Westchester, NY, house look worthy of appearing in an issue of Better Homes & Gardens. But magazine-worthy design is difficult to achieve as a DIY project. The design and electrical considerations for outdoor lighting can quickly become complex, especially if you have a large landscape you’d like to fill with lights. 

Save yourself time and frustration by entrusting your outdoor lighting installation to a professional like Electronic Concepts. We work with best-in-class brands like Coastal Source to bring beautiful and high-quality lighting to your home’s landscape.

Lighting Design

Creating beautiful landscape lighting requires careful consideration of multiple design aspects. A professional can help you with the following.

1. Type of fixtures. Landscape lighting fixtures come in different shapes, sizes, and types, and a professional will help you choose the right fixture for each space. A nuanced, layered design that deploys wash lights to bathe a general area and niche lights to illuminate delicate nooks and crannies will produce a more beautiful effect than using bullet lights for everything.

2. Beam settings. Just like with fixture types, the one-size-fits-all approach isn’t a good solution for beam settings. For example, showcasing your beautiful rose garden requires a soft, wide-ranging glow, while highlighting a single statue or shrub requires a more narrow, focused beam of light. A professional team like Electronic Concepts will ensure that every fixture is paired with the appropriate beam setting to bring your landscape to life. One of the reasons we frequently use Coastal Source for outdoor lighting is because every fixture has built-in adjustable beam settings. 

3. Placement. Improperly placed lights can end up lighting more than your home’s exteriors —they can shine through windows or clash with other lights nearby. Our team will create a landscape lighting design with strategically placed fixtures that showcase the features you want and leave out what you don’t. 

Fail-Proof Wiring

Working with electricity can be very dangerous, especially if you don’t have the proper training and expertise. The wiring for your outdoor lighting can get complicated depending on the size and shape of your landscape. A professional has the expertise necessary to comply with local building codes, safely bury underground wiring, and use the right amount of power to ensure your lights aren’t too bright or dim.

High-Quality Fixtures

Many outdoor lighting fixtures sold in big-box stores are built with lower-grade materials like aluminum that rust and corrode faster than high-quality, durable materials like brass. Dealers like Electronic Concepts have access to professional-grade lighting systems designed to withstand the elements for years of use. Our preferred brand — Coastal Source — builds lighting fixtures with 100% brass and airtight seals to ensure that rain, snow, dust, insects, salt, and chemicals won’t affect your lights.
