Gloucester, Massachusetts, perched on scenic Cape Ann, is one of America’s oldest seaports and a community rich in maritime history and coastal charm. No matter if your home looks out toward the water or sits tucked into a quiet street in Annisquam or Riverdale, the right outdoor lighting can bring that character to life after dark.
If you’ve been searching for a landscape lighting company near you in Gloucester, MA, we design and install systems that enhance architecture, gardens, and outdoor living areas while standing up to the salt air and New England weather.
Why Hire an Outdoor Lighting Expert in Gloucester?
Lighting on the North Shore has its challenges. Salt spray, wind, and unpredictable weather can wear down standard fixtures in no time. That’s why every aspect of the systems we install is built for durability. The materials we use resist corrosion, and our low-voltage LEDs last for years while keeping energy use low. Brass and Copper for fixtures age well and develop an attractive patina. And within these fixtures, they are sealed tight to prevent moisture and salt from getting in.
We start every project with a personal design consultation and a walk with you throughout your yard and outdoor spaces. We want to make sure our design isn’t just about how your home looks, but how you use it and create a comfortable atmosphere. From there, we build a plan that fits your architecture, your landscape, and your habits. Once the design is approved, our trained installers handle everything: wiring, placement, testing, and adjustments.
Our Services in Gloucester: Residential and Commercial Outdoor Lighting
At Outdoor Lighting Perspectives, we offer a full suite of services tailored to residential properties (with commercial services available when needed).
Landscape & Garden Lighting
Our core lighting service is landscape lighting installation. This is more than just plonking solar lights into garden beds. Landscape lighting is layering lights on trees, shrubs, stonework, and garden beds. Adjustable uplights or spotlights are used to highlight trees, sculptures, or stone walls with focused beams. Installed flush with the ground, well lights cast subtle light upward on plantings or architectural details. Possibly our most popular and dual-purpose lights are path lights – short fixtures with wide spreads that softly illuminate garden beds and borders.
Curb Appeal & Architectural Accents
Our curb appeal lighting designs focus on creating a cohesive vision to give your home that “wow” factor. This lighting focuses on lights over facades, entrances, pathways, and driveways. Wall wash lights are mounted close to the home to evenly illuminate exterior walls or brickwork. Simple column and niche lights are compact fixtures that accent pillars, archways, or entryways.
Deck, Patio, and Outdoor Living Lighting
Our deck and patio lighting services turn outdoor spaces into inviting rooms after dark — ideal for entertaining, dining, or quiet evenings outdoors.
Recessed into stair risers or retaining walls, step lights are primarily for safety when walking. While not recessed, under-rail and post lights are tucked away and provide gentle, even illumination along railings and edges. For a festive flair, bistro or string lights can be suspended above seating or dining areas.
Color-Changing & Specialty Lighting
Our color-changing lighting systems make it easy to adjust your home’s look for any season or occasion using an app on your phone. One of the most popular ways Gloucester homeowners use color-changing lights is with permanent roofline lighting, which blends into your trim by day and offers vibrant, customizable color at night.
Commercial Public Projects
Most of our work in Gloucester is residential, but we also light storefronts, signage, and public spaces throughout the North Shore. We’ve lit places such as small art galleries downtown and coastal inns that need path lighting. Our commercial designs focus on safety, visibility, and presentation without sacrificing style.
