Architectural landscape lights should work to unite the
manmade and the natural in a manner that is compliant with regulatory codes and
affordable for your clients.While
landscape lighting represents a focus on illuminating and magnifying points of
interest in the natural scenery, architectural landscape lighting creates the
sense that buildings and technology are in harmony with Nature and establishes a
more unified presentation to anyone viewing the facility at
night.
Developing an architectural landscape lighting system
that will remain true to this intention without costing additional money down
the line requires a great deal of planning and research.You will have to determine all the
necessary photometric requirements of the system, locate specification grade
equipment made in the United States by manufacturers who emphasize quality over
quantity, and be willing to use pioneering technologies that many of your
clients may not yet understand, but can quickly be educated in if you can just
find the time and resources to show them all the benefits you can bring to their
table.
For
example, one of the most costly components in any architectural landscape
lighting system has always been any type of incandescent luminaire, such as a
quartz floodlight, that consumes too much electricity in comparison to the light
it produces.Not only does this
waste money, it violates recent dark sky laws in most places, and it also
results in ongoing replacement costs as they fixtures inevitably burn out. Newer
fixtures that rely upon electronically ballasted fluorescent lamps, improved HID
sources, and now LED light bars deliver a better quality of lighting and comply
fully with the recent crackdown on light pollution.
By
investing now in specification grade architectural landscape lights, you can
save your clients money on excessive energy bills and help them avoid a possible
parts shortage that could hit those who wait until the last minute to replace
mercury vapor and incandescent lamps.Instead, propose to them architectural landscape lights that feature
fluorescent lamps and ballast controls with superb CRI, LED’s that can save as
much as 80% on power consumption, and HIDs featuring higher than ever LPW
efficiency rating, you generate savings that translates into ROI and recession
proofing the Spartan budgets of a very cautious and somewhat nervous customer
base. You can do this too without sacrificing the visual component of the system
as well.Our new generation of
architectural landscape lights not only performs better than the previous
generation of technology, but it actually features more attractive, diversified
and decorative fixture housings in a variety of fixture housings and finishes
heretofore unimagined.
