Architectural Landscape Lighting Designs

Architectural landscape lighting must unite the man made with the natural in a way that is compliant with regulatory codes and cost effective for your clients. While landscape lighting itself consists of a focus on illuminating and magnifying points of interest in the natural scenery, architectural area lighting creates the sense that buildings and technology are in harmony with Nature and established a more unified presentation to anyone viewing the facility at night.

Creating 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 to determine all the necessary photometric requirements of the system, access to specification grade and commercial lighting equipment made in the United States by manufacturers who emphasize quality over quantity, and a willingness to use pioneering technologies that many of your clients may not yet trust, but can quickly be educated in if you can somehow find the time and resources to show them all the benefits you can bring to their table.

For instance, one of the most costly components in architectural outdoor landscape lighting has been any type of incandescent luminaire, such as a quartz floodlight, that consumes too much electricity in comparison to the light it produces. Newer fixtures that rely upon electronically ballasted fluorescent lamps, improved HID sources, and now LED light bars have made these older fixtures obsolete. This comes just in time as well. Any incandescent fixtures that your clients are currently using in their architectural landscape lighting systems are going to have to be replaced by 2010 anyway. Waiting until the last minute to take care of this only compounds replacement costs with a possible last minute part shortage. Saving your client from two crises simultaneously is an excellent way of gaining client loyalty, referrals, and repeat business down the line.

By investing now in specification grade landscape architectural lights that utilize improved fluorescent lamps and ballast controls, LEDʼs 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 element so essential to this art and science. This new generation of architectural landscape site lighting 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.
