What Are the Best Fixtures for Your Outdoor Lighting System?
Coastal Source Offers a Diverse Portfolio for Any Application
Using the right fixtures for your outdoor lighting system means the difference between one-tone lighting prone to dangerous shadows and a layered lighting design, which offers greater comfort, safety and style. Though path and wash lights are the models homeowners are most familiar with, they're not the only choices!
Hanging, niche, and bullet lights are just some of the options available if you want to create a design that makes your spaces more functional while highlighting your favorite features. Each of our lighting installations uses Coastal Source because they have sturdy, weather-proof products. Their vast fixture portfolio allows us to create tailor-made solutions for our clients. Below are some ways we implement their models in our projects throughout Westchester, NY.

Bullet Lights
Bullet lights are the ultimate multitaskers for your outdoor lighting systems. They provide uplighting and downlighting to highlight particular features and can also cast general ambient lighting in vast outdoor spaces. These lights are popular with our clients since they camouflage with the surrounding foliage. Adjust these through your outdoor lighting system to change what you want to highlight or turn them on and off automatically each day.
Path Lights
Path lights are a common addition as they are vital for safety, especially in New York, where hidden patches of ice and snow can lead to nasty falls. Coastal Source offers Hammerhead Hat, China Hat, Mushroom Hat and Double Tiered Hat models—all purposely designed with aesthetics in mind as path lights are ones that always remain visible. For these, we recommend a combination of schedules and sensors to ensure optimal visibility along all your major walkways.
Niche Lights
Niche lights are a unique offering from Coastal Source. They're vital when it comes to task and accent lighting. These micro-sized LED fixtures are extremely versatile. They are small enough to trace the borders of pathways, sit within the branches of trees, or point out steps. While it's best–as with most landscape lighting–to have these come on automatically each evening, we'll provide additional control through your lighting system to adjust what you want to highlight.
Wash Lights
Wash lights are available in low and high-output varieties based on their application. The high output might be best to provide overall lighting for exteriors. On the other hand, if you want to create dramatic shadowing effects in your backyard, then a lower output is better. With your lighting system, you'll be able to change intensity and color temperature to adjust the focus of a scene or generate a different ambiance for the space.
Electronic Concepts will not only help you pick out the best fixtures for your space but integrate them into an easy-to-use outdoor lighting system. Reach out for a tailor-made lighting design for your home by calling or filling out our contact form.
