Extraordinary Outdoor Lighting that Changes with the Seasons

Enjoy North Carolina’s beautiful weather with outdoor living areas featuring landscape audio systems, the latest outdoor TVs, grills, and seating areas. No matter the intended activities, one addition enhances them all and creates a space friends and family enjoy long after the sun has set: outdoor lighting

Gone is the bright white, glaring illumination that provided safety and security but little in the way of beauty and intrigue. Today’s landscape lighting is customized for your exact vision and desired aesthetics. Here, we’ll explore its many benefits and features and how the latest low-voltage LED lighting creates the ideal atmosphere after dark.

LED Illumination

You can always spot a home that’s upgraded its outdoor lighting with advanced LED systems. In the hands of lighting designers, the result is stunning. Cars slow down to take a longer look. Backyard barbecues turn into late-night parties. Outdoor areas that were once rarely used are now the go-to for dinners, gatherings, and relaxation. 

At Port City Sound and Security, Inc., we partner with FX Luminaire to provide the ultimate outdoor lighting experience. This technology takes a home’s outdoor areas from well-lit to staggeringly beautiful. With the ideal fixtures, proper placement, and correct color temperature, the effects are captivating. 

Changing with the Seasons

With advanced LEDs, you can align your lighting by changing the color temperature and intensity with the press of a button. Whether celebrating a specific holiday or the changing leaves of fall, your home’s outdoor areas instantly take on the desired aesthetics. 

Some of the techniques we use to transform your home after dark include: 

  • Uplights: Add contrast, texture, and depth while highlighting unique architectural or garden features. 
  • Downlights: When hung in trees, these lights mimic moonlight for added natural beauty.
  • Path lights: Offer safe passage while aligning with and enhancing outdoor aesthetics.
  • Underwater Lights: Enchanting and mysterious, they create a luminous glow from an unseen source.

Effortless Control

Our automation experts can set up zones to illuminate different areas with the touch of an icon on a user-friendly app. Dimming capabilities enable some areas to be soft and enchanting while others are bright and dazzling. Custom scenes create specific lighting for different occasions. For instance, pressing ‘Independence Day’ transforms outdoor areas with shades of red, white, and blue. Tapping ‘Relaxation’ changes hues to subtle blues and greens. 

By partnering with FX Luminaire, we bring clients and specifiers one of the most advanced lighting systems on the market. Extend your home and enjoy beautiful outdoor living spaces without costly renovations. Elevate outdoor gatherings, increase property values, ensure safe passage, and enhance security
