Brighten Your Property With Landscape Lighting NH

By Roger Reynolds


Have you ever stopped to consider just how much of a difference the outdoor lighting makes? Picture, for example, the skyline of most any famous city, the Eiffel tower or the fountains of the Bellagio all are spectacular at any time of day, but they're different at night, they are even more spectacular and they capture a mood that can only be evoked at night and the only difference is the lighting. Perhaps I'm blinded by my passion for lighting design, but I would argue that's not the case. Most people intuitively appreciate the added element of beauty that landscape lighting NH brings.

You can experience and share an appreciation for illumination in most any urban setting. If you've ever stopped to admire a well-lit home at night or have had the privilege to enjoy the ambience of a skillfully designed outdoor illumination system at a restaurant or hotel then you know first hand what effect it can have as our surroundings seemingly come to life at night in a way that sunlight can't capture.

The main illumination methods include uplighting that involves putting the light on the ground so that the rays travel upwards. Downlighting has the lights set up above the ground and mounted on a structure to enable the rays shine downwards. Ground light differs from uplighting in that the light shines at ground level and not upwards. There is also spotlighting ans backlighting which complete the main methods of lighting.

Safety elements aside, scene illumination can provide a very attractive beautification to your home or business property, which we all understand can increase the overall value of housing and business properties. When something is beautiful to look at, people tend to appreciate it a bit more. Scene illumination can enhance your home's value and your business' overall popularity. Whether you live there or work there, your property can be the envy of the neighborhood with quality scene illumination introduced into the overall beautification of your property.

Referrals - A quality illumination designer should have plenty of referrals for you to review. These referrals should be specific to the person, not the company. Just because a company employs one individual that's put together a portfolio of pictures and referrals for the company doesn't mean the person trying to sell you a illumination system is capable of the same caliber of design.

After deciding on the illumination method and the type of illumination, a person is ready to purchase and install their scene illumination. Scene illumination adds a touch of class to a scene project. It shows off the hard work that was put into the project and shows the pride of the home owner. Scene illumination is also helpful to light walkways and provides a sense of security. There are so many choices in scene illumination that a person can easily find the scene illumination that works for them and their needs.

The nice thing about site illumination is that a homeowner doesn't have to welcome you as a stranger into their home to see the work that their site illumination professional did, you can simply drive the past and see for yourself. Previewing new work as well as older projects is a good testament to the quality of the work done and what kind of service program they offer.

Experience - There are lots of ways to gain experience, but not all are equal. I would argue that a landscaper that has been installing lights with his landscaping projects for the last eight years does not have eight years of experience installing site illumination any more than you have 20 years experience as an opera singer because you like to sing in the shower in the morning. Simply asking how long an individual has been installing site illumination will not quantify their experience, ask how they learned how to design site illumination systems.
