While you may be familiar with outdoor lighting, you may not know all the intricacies which go into making your outdoor lighting system as effective as possible. First, standard line lighting is normally not recommended. For most residential installations, incandescent or standard line lighting can be immediately ruled out. The installation requires extensive excavation. Not only is the excavation cost high, it can damage tree and shrub roots wreaking havoc on your landscaping. Standard line lighting could be a viable option for a new build–but even then, your other options are usually better.
It’s for this very reason we, at Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Baltimore, offer only the top-quality brass and copper low-voltage outdoor lighting fixtures. Low-voltage outdoor lighting most often means halogen lights. Low-voltage halogen lighting is almost always an excellent choice:
- Low voltage offers safety benefits over line voltage.
- Low-voltage lights are affordable.
- Well-designed low-voltage systems will almost always use substantially less energy than standard line voltage.
- The halogen bulbs offer an attractive light that portrays surroundings in their true colors.
- Halogen bulbs offer the brightness and directional capabilities needed.
- Halogen bulbs provide a relatively long bulb life.
LOW-VOLTAGE OUTDOOR LIGHTING IN LUTHERVILLE, MD
It’s important to note that while there is every reason to believe today’s advanced LED lights will last 10+ years under normal use, they haven’t been around long enough to prove this. Fortunately, the advanced LED fixtures Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Baltimore offers a unique, patent-pending advance: the LED’s electronics are separated from the LED. This should reduce heat and further increase “bulb” life. It also allows LED “bulbs” to be replaced without the need to change the entire fixture. (Most other fixtures on the market have an integral LED, requiring replacement of the entire fixture rather than just the “bulb.”)
