Upgrade to Permanent Outdoor Lighting for the Holidays

Install It Once, Then Enjoy It Every Night of the Year

Every year brings the same ritual: a ladder, a tangle of string lights, and a fresh bulb that glowed fine last January and refuses to light now. A few weeks later, it all comes down again. Get rid of the yearly struggle with permanent architectural and landscape lighting. 

It goes up once, shifts into a special holiday scene when guests arrive, and settles back into a warm, everyday look the rest of the year. Your home looks its best after dark, and it offers a warm, safe welcome to any guests. Now is the perfect time to upgrade to a better lighting experience before the holiday rush kicks in. 

Give Your Home’s Best Features a Spotlight

Hanging string lights are not only a hassle to hang, but they also do little to make your home’s features stand out. The architectural and landscape lighting systems we install incorporate small, low-voltage LED fixtures to highlight what makes your home special. 

Employ uplights on a tall oak or stone column to add depth to the space. Place path and step lights to highlight walkways and any tripping hazards. Refresh your home’s silhouette with a soft accent along the roofline or a wall wash across brick walls.  

Landscape lighting requires high-end fixtures and great design. A good designer walks your property at dusk to see where shadows fall, then aims each fixture to softly graze textures, and keeps glare out of your windows. Brands like Coastal Source build fixtures from solid brass and marine-grade materials, so they stand up to Oklahoma weather season after season. LED fixtures also draw very little power, so leaving them on for a few hours each evening adds little to your electric bill.

Your Holiday Scene Is One Tap Away

Good landscape lighting design is a team effort. The fixtures all need to work together, and a Lutron or Control4 system makes that easy. From one app or wall keypad, you choose which fixtures turn on, how bright they are, and how warm or cool the light looks. With color-capable fixtures, you can change the color too, so the trees glow green and the roofline glows red for Christmas, then everything returns to a soft, warm white in the new year.

Instantly transform the space with a tap on your phone. A Holiday scene lights the yard in your holiday colors just before guests arrive. Naturally change colors to match the occasion for Christmas, Halloween or Fourth of July. Just tell us what holidays matter most to you and will set up a scene for them.   

Late Fall Is the Right Window

An outdoor lighting installation takes longer than a weekend. First, we walk your property and mark where every fixture should go. Then we take care of the wiring and install your fixtures, coming back to aim and adjust each light until it looks right. Holiday gatherings won’t wait for any of that, so the sooner you start, the calmer your December will be.

If you’re working with an interior designer or landscape architect, we’ll work from their plans so every fixture goes exactly where it belongs. And because the lighting stays put, your front walk and trees still look great in January, long after the holiday decorations are back in the attic.
