Commercial Landscape Lighting Tip 1:
Help residents feel comfortable and safe by lighting entryways and windows
Uplighting of the building’s perimeter both helps residents see the building at night, and it improves security in an attractive way. This apartment building’s lighting encourages residents that they are safe to enjoy open windows.
Plus, the lighting is soft enough not to annoy residents and neighbors. Often, harsh security and motion lights shine into windows unpleasantly. Long-lasting landscape lighting will illuminate this property for years to come.
Commercial Landscape Lighting Tip 2:
Welcome residents home by illuminating your sign
Help residents, potential residents and their guests navigate to your property at night by lighting up your sign. Being easy to find makes a great first impression and feels welcoming. Plus, this community also shows off its nice landscaping.
Commercial Landscape Lighting Tip 3:
Light up walkways for safety and convenience
If you have walkways around your property, you want residents to feel confident using them at night– to take a stroll, walk their dogs or go running. Commercial landscape lighting invites residents to enjoy your property amenities, while discouraging undesirable behaviors.
Commercial Landscape Lighting Tip 4:
Turn privacy screens into a beautiful view
Trees and shrubs make great privacy screens between properties. But they also offer lurking shadows at night. With commercial landscape lighting, privacy screens can become a focal point and a feature, while increasing security.
Commercial Landscape Lighting Tip 5:
Install the lighting transformer away from public spaces
Landscape lighting requires a transformer box to run the system. On commercial properties, this box should be installed away from public areas or where residents (and their kids and pets) might be expected to go. The box should also be locked. LED landscape lighting is low-voltage, but you want to prevent any mischief.
Commercial Landscape Lighting Tip 6:
Choose permanent outdoor lighting for a more affordable, color-changing option
Permanent outdoor lighting from Gemstone Lights is a more affordable commercial lighting option. Strips of LED lights are seamlessly installed at the roofline, with many color-matching soffit options. During the day, the light strips are nearly invisible. At night, they offer striking illumination.
They are sometimes known as permanent Christmas lights, because you can easily change the colors to match any season. This property has switched to a fun teal color:
And the lights don’t have to all be the same color, either. Here, we see a festive green, red and yellow pattern. These patterns can be solid, chasing or flashing. Really, there are endless color and pattern possibilities.
