Elevating Outdoor Living with Today’s Landscape Lighting

In the last several years, outdoor living and the manufacturers that enhance it have taken significant strides in creating entertainment spaces once relegated to indoor areas. Outdoor living rooms and transitional zones come equipped with formal seating, kitchen areas, and fireplaces. Entertainment consists of concert-quality music streaming from stunning bollard speakers and impressive images from 4K UHD outdoor TVs. We live in a remarkable world, with technological advancements occurring at a breakneck pace. 

Not to be left out, an essential part of outdoor living is today’s landscape lighting. Gone are the lights designed simply for safety and security. In their place are advanced lighting systems that transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. 

Here, we’ll explore three of the popular outdoor lighting remodels and the environments they inspire.

Enchanted Evenings

At SmartHome Solutions, Inc., we partner with Coastal Source, a firm committed to continually advancing outdoor environments through the latest technology in lighting and audio. Recently, they partnered with Ketra to take their advanced LED light system into the great outdoors. Now, you can press a button and change your outdoor lighting, setting the mood by instantly transforming the color temperature and intensity.

Suspending Coastal Source’s elegant and sleek hanging lights from tree branches and beams creates beautiful, natural downlighting, similar to moonlight filtering through trees. When you press ‘Relax,’ the lights take on a golden amber glow reminiscent of sunset. Tap ‘Moonlight,’ and your yard becomes immersed in star-filled wonder. 

Adding niche lights provides illumination from an unseen source, bringing breathtaking lighting to your favorite bushes, trees, and architectural and water features.

Party Central

Whether having friends over for a barbeque or hosting an elaborate dinner party, you can create the ideal atmosphere. Tap ‘Casual Gathering,’ and the Tiki torches ignite while the patio lights brighten, enlivening the area with saturated hues for a festive occasion. 

Corporate dinner parties take a more subtle approach, with bullet and well lights highlighting columns, walls, and gardens in shades resembling candlelight. The patio transforms into a European bistro with string lights and wall sconces, offering an inviting space filled with old-world charm.

Curb Appeal 

While people tend to correlate curb appeal with selling their homes, creating stunning illumination in your front yard does more than enhance your home’s value. When you pull into the driveway in the evening, and your home immediately brightens, you feel a sense of relief. Instead of stumbling in the dark, striking illumination lights the way.

While safety, security, and beauty are top considerations when upgrading your landscape lighting, one of the best reasons is to create a space where friends and family gather, making memories that last a lifetime. Enjoy the quiet moments with lighting that defines serenity and produces intrigue with bold designs for elaborate affairs. With today’s technology, there are no limitations.
