In the best landscape lighting designs, all of the lights work together in different ways to achieve the desired effect.
One of the best ways to do this is with landscape lighting zones.
When lights are grouped together in zones, you not only have optimal control but you can also create the precise lighting arrangements that you desire. This helps you to get maximum aesthetic appeal and functionality out of your lighting.
In this article, we’ll talk more about zone outdoor lighting and how it is critical to the lighting design for your Memphis home.
If you want the most professional-looking, highly controlled landscape lighting design, then you definitely want to think about individual lighting zones.
Light zoning means writing specific groups of fixtures together so that they all come on simultaneously. These zones can be controlled from a central panel or even from a smart device if you have app-controlled lighting.
Lighting areas in groups like this can really go a long way in getting the best results…including ease of control. You won’t have to go around turning on a bunch of individual lights.
Many projects have three or four zones, though, like any aspect of landscape lighting, it’s all customized.
As an example, zone one might be your trees. Zone two might be the house. And zone three might be the sidewalk area. You could individually turn these zones on and off, depending on your wants and needs.
You can also set zones to come on and off automatically. For instance, you might only need the trees and sidewalk zone on until a certain hour of the night, but you might want the house lit up all night long (for security purposes). All of this can be customized based on your wants and needs.
Some homeowners even create a “party lighting zone,” in which a lot more lights than normal would come on. This is a zone you’d only use from time to time but it gives you an option to have everything ready to go at the push of a button!
No matter what type of zone lighting will work best for you, there’s a solution with the right design.
There is a tremendous amount of strategic planning that goes into lighting a landscape. Zoning the lighting is a big part of that. You want to make sure that the right lights are grouped together in a way that is most aesthetically appealing and also most functional.
One of the reasons why zone outdoor lighting is best handled by a professional is that there is a lot of writing involved in grouping and zoning. It’s critical that this is done right not only for the success of your outdoor lighting design…but also for safety.
We’ve talked before about the fact that outdoor lighting is very safe when installed by a trained professional.
When you’re talking about outdoor wiring, you definitely want to make sure that it’s done properly.
But as we mentioned, it’s also a matter of making sure that everything looks its best.
You want to make sure that lights are grouped together in a way that is aesthetically appealing and highly functional. If not, you might miss the opportunity to get the most out of your landscape lighting design.
When a professional is handling your outdoor lighting design (including zoning), you can feel confident that you are getting the best and safest results. The truth is, when it comes to outdoor wiring, you don’t want to worry.
You just want to know that everything is going to function as it was meant to…and in a safe way.
