What permanent outdoor lighting is Permanent outdoor lighting is an LED system mounted along a building's rooflines, eaves and edges and left up all year. It replaces the strands you hang and take down with hardware meant to stay outside. The LEDs sit inside a track that gets color matched to the trim, so the daytime look of the house does not change much. Where it goes on a house Most installs follow the roofline, then pick up gables, dormers, porch edges and columns as t

Is there a difference between lighting a house and outlining one? The word sounds like marketing, but it points at something real. The difference is between drawing around a house and lighting its parts. One treats the house as a shape. The other reads what the house is actually built out of.You do not have to name any of it to want the result. The useful test is whether the design explains itself. If the answer describes your building, you are talking to a designer. If it

Why people stop doing it themselves Hanging Christmas lights sounds simple until you are on the ladder in a cold wind. Add the steep pitch, a roof with a real pitch to it, and the fact that December in the Upstate can be wet, and the math changes. The parts of the job The job has four parts, and the last one is the one people forget. It starts with a design for the house: which lines get lit, what color, how it reads from the street. Then the install, handled by people who

Start with what you want to see Where roofline lighting handles the house, landscape lighting takes care of the yard: the walk, the beds, the trees, the steps. The goal is light you see the effect of, not fixtures you count. Done badly, it looks like an airport runway down the driveway. What a yard normally needs Path lighting is usually the starting point, since walking to the door in the dark is the daily problem. A well placed uplight gives the yard depth after sunset.

Two sides, two purposes The front of a property gets judged from the street. The patio is for people sitting in it. Everything changes when you become the audience from within. Nobody is grading the back yard from the street. What matters is whether the space still works after dark.The short version: the patio deserves its own plan. The front and the back need different work, and one light over the door is the usual result of https://trevorasfr860.slatecurrent.com/posts/pe

What is driving the interest Drive through a Greenville neighborhood in December and you will see it: houses lit cleanly along the roofline, with nobody's ladder in the yard. What you are looking at is a fixed LED track, installed along the roofline and left there. What it does the rest of the year Holiday color is the reason most people call. The reason it holds up is the other eleven months. Warm white on the eaves gives the front of the house shape after dark. Then ther

Why the patio plan is its own thing The front of a property is a view. Out back you are inside the lighting, not looking at it. Everything changes once you are the one sitting under it. Nobody cares how the patio reads from the road. The only test is whether anybody wants to sit there.All of which adds up to one point. The front and the back need different work, and one light over the door is the usual result of not planning it. Two spaces, two briefs, and one design conver

Why the patio plan is its own thing The front of a property gets judged from the street. The patio is a place you occupy. Everything changes when you become the audience from within. Nobody cares how the patio reads from the road. What matters is whether people stay out there past nine.All of which adds up to one point. The front and the back rarely get solved by the same fixtures, and one light over the door is the usual result of not planning it. Two spaces, two briefs, a
