Shining a Light on Your Top Outdoor Lighting Questions

There’s more to outdoor lighting than illuminating your yard. It increases the value of your home. It increases your sense of safety and security. It enhances your curb appeal. It enables you to enjoy your outdoor living spaces. But most of all, it brings your landscape, your architecture, and your outdoor living spaces to life at night. It’s what we specialise in at Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Richmond & Charlottesville. As a nationally recognized premier outdoor lighting installer, we specialize in transforming your outdoor spaces with superior-quality lighting systems thoughtfully designed to increase your nighttime curb appeal.

Why Is Outdoor Lighting So Expensive?

We are often asked why outdoor lighting is so expensive. Why do services vary so greatly between different companies versus DIY projects? It comes down to several factors, starting first with the size of your property and the scope of the project.

After figuring out what size project you want to undertake, you need to be sure you have any necessary permits, select all of the lighting types and styles you want to include and find professional electricians and technicians to ensure your project is up to code. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

That’s why it's so important to work with a turnkey lighting company like Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Richmond and Charlottesville. We handle all of the nuances that come with lighting installation, so you don’t have to. We deliver an end-to-end service that includes everything from custom outdoor lighting design unique to your property to high-quality fixtures to expert installation.

Is Professional Landscape Lighting Worth It?

Absolutely! In fact, professional landscape lighting is excellent not only for aesthetic enhancement but also for practical reasons, like security and safety. Properly lighted walkways and driveways discourage accidents and keep a home safe from intruders, for example.

Professional lighting enhances your home’s architecture and your garden’s landscaping, providing a picturesque nighttime canvas. With all of the details also lighted, your home can be a masterpiece at night. Expertly designed and installed outdoor lighting will put all of your landscaped assets on display. At Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Richmond & Charlottesville, we make sure that your outdoor lighting investment not only serves you in the function and security of your home’s outdoor spaces but also adds to your ambiance and beauty.

Does Outdoor Lighting Increase Home Value?

Outdoor lighting significantly increases your home’s curb appeal, making it more attractive to potential buyers. A well-lit home stands out, appearing more inviting and well-maintained. According to real estate experts, homes with professional outdoor lighting can command higher prices and sell faster than those without.

Furthermore, outdoor lighting increases the functional use of your outdoor areas. You won’t have to rush to start cleaning up your barbeque when the sun starts to set. You can continue to enjoy your garden, patio, or pool well into the night, knowing that your outdoor living areas are properly lit. That added usability can be a huge selling point, propelling your home’s curb appeal. In the end, investing in outdoor lighting is about more than just the look of your property. It is also a long-term financial investment.

What Is the Lifespan of Landscape Lighting?

The longevity of a lighting system is directly related to the fixtures used and the installation process. At Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Richmond & Charlottesville, we only use high-quality, commercial-grade, heavy-duty brass and copper outdoor lighting fixtures that can withstand even the most extreme weather conditions and provide consistent performance year after year. During our installation process, we make sure everything is by the book, so your lighting system will be wired for energy efficiency and safety.

When properly maintained, most landscape lighting systems last 10 to 20 years. LED outdoor lights, the most efficient lighting on the market, can last up to 50,000 hours. Cleaning fixtures and checking them for damage to wires and bulbs will increase your system’s lifespan. We are always available to keep your outdoor lighting looking its best with our outdoor lighting maintenance plans so that you may enjoy your peaceful nights lit by our service.
