Kettering Outdoor Lighting Design and Installation
If you spend any amount of time in Kettering, you’ll find a lot of settled neighborhoods and well-kept yards that look great in daylight. But those very same homes often go quietly into the dark at night. Kettering outdoor lighting brings that character back, turning mature landscaping and today's homes into something you’ll still notice even after sundown.
At Outdoor Lighting Perspectives, we design and install low-voltage outdoor lighting systems. And we handle everything from the initial design to the aiming of the individual fixtures. If you have been looking for outdoor lighting services in Kettering, we can help. We’ll walk the property after dark and get to know your goals. Then from there, we’ll come up with a custom lighting plan.
Landscape Lighting for Kettering, OH, Homes
When it comes to outdoor lighting, Kettering landscape lighting is where much of the magic happens. You have so many options to choose from here. With uplights, you can make a mature tree into a centerpiece. With a low wash through planting beds, you can add the appearance of a finished edge to your property. From there, path and step lighting helps keep your walkways safe and draws the eye straight to the door. All that's left then is to add a little light to the house itself, and your home gains immediate curb appeal from the street.
Our landscape lighting solutions work in large part because of restraint. What deserves attention will shine in the light, and the rest will be allowed to fall away. The contrast does the work from there.
What Kettering Outdoor Lighting Installation Involves
Outdoor lighting installation in Kettering is often cheaper than people expect. For one, the wiring is low-voltage. That means it doesn’t need to be buried deeply. There’s no need to dig up your whole lawn. The wires can simply be tucked under mulch or shallow soil without tearing up landscaping.
We set the fixtures and run the lines. Then once that’s done, we aim every fixture on site after dark. If the lights look better on paper than in person, we adjust based on what we see. Most yards come together in just a visit or two, so you won’t have to wait a long time. Once the system is in, a timer or an app can run it for you, and you can toggle your lights at any time.
FAQs about Lighting in Kettering
How much does landscape lighting cost in Kettering?
There is no single price, because no two yards are alike. The cost depends on a few things, the first of which is the size of the property. Also important is how much lighting you would like and the fixtures required. Rather than quote a number sight unseen, we walk the property and give you a written proposal so there are no surprises.
How long does installation take?
It takes less time than most people expect to install outdoor lights. The majority of residential systems take only a day or two. This is partly thanks to the low-voltage wiring. There's no need to tear up your landscaping to install new lights.
Do you service systems you did not install?
We repair, adjust, and maintain existing systems. And if you like, we can also upgrade older halogen setups to low-voltage LEDs that cost less to run.
Can I control the lights myself?
You can, and in fact, most systems run on a timer or app. The lights usually come on at dusk and shut off on schedule. Your yard is illuminated whether you think about it or not, and you can change the settings as you like.
