There is something to be said about doing it right the first time.
- ARTISTIC - Like any artist, we use design techniques to create the outdoor
portrait. We will determine how the property is used and viewed (from the
inside and out), determine focal points and create a balanced, rhythmic, and
attractive portrait of your outdoor room. As a painter uses different brushes,
we use various fixtures, bulbs (wattages, beam spreads and louvers) and
angles to paint an attractive portrait.
TECHNICAL - Voltage drop is a portrait killer. Voltage drop is obvious as seen
by yellow and orange light output. We circumvent voltage drop with the
techniques and technology used with each installation. Each bulb we install
will receive between 10.8 and 12 volts, which has three key benefits -
- 1) provides the best color light output
2) provides consistent light output
3) maximizes bulb efficiency.

- Many homeowners underestimate the amount of lights necessary to properly
illuminate their yard. An attractive portrait has rhythm and balance, which is
absolutely critical in lighting. The eye's pupil naturally dilates with darkness
and closes with light. This in turn strains the eye and irritates the viewer. A
balanced portrait has rhythm, balance and will soothe the eye, not strain it.
What is the difference between your equipment and the equipment at the local
hardware store?
- Our installations are built to perform, and last. Nature's elements of
chemicals, machinery, animals etc.. are brutal and will take their toll on
inferior products. We use the latest and greatest technology in our systems.
The fixtures are made of non rusting materials such as bronze, brass or
stainless steel (unless otherwise specified). The transformers have
incremental voltage taps to accommodate for voltage drop and primary /
secondary breakers for extra protection.
