Ways to Give Your Landscape Lighting System a Makeover

Written by McKay Lighting | 07/14/2017

Landscape lighting is an important aspect of your Omaha home and property. 

It enhances your home's architectural features, increases security and safety, creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere for you and your guests, along with its other benefits once the sun goes down. 

But if your lighting needs a refresh, it might be beneficial to talk with your outdoor lighting designer about updates. Fixture styles and technology have changed over the past several years. A few improvements can make a significant impact on the design and performance of your system. 

Update the Look of Your Landscape Lighting Fixtures: 

If you've outgrown the style of your outdoor lighting fixtures, today's options are more ascetically pleasing and durable. At McKay Lighting, we carry a variety of specialty and custom fixtures that come with a lifetime warranty. Our professional designers can help you select fixtures to achieve the look you desire, making it easy to find ones that match the look of your home and fit your personal style. Plus, new fixtures can enhance the performance of your lighting system.

Enhance the Lighting Effect: 

If your lights seem a little dull or dim, switching from halogen to LED landscape lighting enhances the brightness of your system while providing energy saving benefits. LED bulbs provide greater illumination and have a longer life, lasting 10 times longer than halogen. 

The halogen to LED conversion process can be relatively simple to complex depending on the age and type of fixtures. Some newer halogen fixtures can be retrofitted to hold a LED bulb while others cannot.   to have one of our designers complete an on-site evaluation of your lighting system. They'll develop and present you with a plan for converting it to LED. 

Exterior Lighting Design Adjustments: 

If you've made major changes to your home or property since installation, a design adjustment might be all it needs. A lot can change overtime. Plants grow and mature, and maybe your landscaping preferences and how you use your outdoor spaces have changed. Perhaps you're entertaining more and want to enhance additional areas on your property. Minor tweaks can make a big difference to the overall look of your lighting design.

If you'd like to discuss your fixture options, LED lighting, or design adjustments, we offer free lighting consultations where you can meet with our professional landscape lighting designer. They'll walk your property with you and discuss your options for giving your lighting design a fresh new look.
