Tampa Outdoor & Landscape Lighting

The installation of landscape lighting first starts with the landscape lighting design and architecture of your front yard, back yard, and your house.

In your front yard, if you have trees, then we would look at up lighting.

In your back yard, if you have a pool, then pool lighting will come into play.

For you home, down lighting is also a wonderful accent for your home to pop, and look amazing.

Do you have a walkway anywhere on your property?  If so, then pathway lighting and the types of pathway lights will make a big difference on how we can design your landscape lighting for you.

There are endless possibilities and we would love to sit down and see what will make your place look it's best!

If you're not comfortable working with electricity, it's best to hire a professional to do the job. Low voltage landscaping wire can be dangerous if not handled correctly, and it's important to understand how to properly splice the wires so that they're safe and effective. Improperly spliced wires could result in a fire or other safety hazard, so it's best to leave the job to someone who knows what they're doing.

For outdoor tree lights you can use either up lighting or string lights. Up lighting involves placement of lights around the base of the tree, pointing upwards. This creates a dramatic effect and makes the tree appear to be glowing from within. String lights are another option and can be wrapped around the trunk and branches of the tree. This gives a more festive look and is perfect for holiday decorating. Whichever method you choose, make sure to use weatherproofed lights designed for outdoor use to avoid damaging your tree or causing a fire risk.

Hiring a professional is definitely the safest option when it comes to working with electricity and hanging outdoor patio lighting.However, if you're determined to do it yourself, here are a few tips:

1. Make sure the power is turned off before you start.
2. NEVER work with electric wires barefoot or while wet.
3. Use proper insulation and/or electrical tape to cover any exposed wiring.
4. If using an extension cord, make sure it's rated for outdoor use.
5. Hang your lights securely so they don't fall down and potentially cause further damage or injury.

There are a few things you will need to consider when hanging string lights on a covered patio. One is the height at which you want to hang them. You will also need to take into account the size and shape of your covered patio, as well as the location of any posts or other fixtures that might provide support for your lights.

Ideally, you should begin by measuring the distance from the ceiling to where you want your lights to hang. Once you have this measurement, you can purchase light strings that are long enough to reach from the ceiling to that point. If your covered patio has any posts or other features that might provide support for your lights, be sure to take those into account when making your measurements.

Low voltage landscape lighting is a kind of landscaping lighting that uses a low voltage transformer to lower the voltages of the electrical current running through it. This is done in order to minimize the risk of electrocution or fire, as well as to make the system more energy efficient.

Outdoor lighting can be used for various purposes, such as accenting features like trees or gardens, providing general illumination for pathways or driveways, or even for security purposes. Low voltage landscape lighting is often times used in conjunction with solar power systems, making them an extremely eco-friendly option.
