Landscape Lighting FAQ's

Outdoor Landscape Lighting

Illuminate tall trees or achieve dramatic effects on shrubbery, gardens and planted areas.

Low-voltage outdoor lighting is used for illuminating pathways, steps, driveways, around pools, patios and anywhere you want to highlight or accentuate.

Advantages of Outdoor Landscape Lighting; Enjoy Your Yard Anytime:

Landscape lighting makes outdoor spaces inviting long after the sun has gone down. The beauty of flowers and landscape plantings can be enjoyed in the dark hours after a busy at work. Outdoor lighting makes nighttime activities and outdoor entertaining fun and enjoyable.

Security: Outdoor lighting is a proven way to protect your property from criminals. Well lit landscapes are a deterrent to prowlers, protecting both the property and its occupants.

Safety: The careful illumination of decks, steps, walkways, and other areas will allow you to move safely from area to area without blinding glare or dark shadows.

Dramatic Effects: With today's custom designed fixtures and state-of-the art lamps, dramatic lighting effects can be achieved in the simplest of residential or commercial landscapes. Because the fixtures are easily concealed in the landscape, they enhance rather than detract from the surroundings.

Economy: Complete 12 volt systems can be operated for pennies a night, a welcome alternative to the harsh glare of high-wattage floodlights or the expense of a porch lamp that's left on for days.

Upgrade Your Property: A landscape lighting system is an investment in your property that will enhance it and improve your home's curb appeal. All of Seashore Lighting's quality gas and electric landscape lighting fixtures are constructed to provide years of reliable service. Our quality fixtures are all made of corrosion resistant materials.

'Frequently Asked Questions' (FAQ's)
Outdoor lighting is becoming one of the most popularly requested landscape amenities to enhance the beauty, safety and security of residential and commercial properties.

The following are Frequently Asked Questions about Landscape Lighting.


1) Q: I have some prized plants in my backyard that I am interested in highlighting with landscape lighting, but I am worried about the appearance of the fixtures in the daytime. Is there something that will accomplish the task without having big floodlight bulbs visible?

A: Seashore Lighting has a wide range of fixtures available for highlighting or accenting specific plants. Most are very small in size, and some even will mount below ground for complete invisibility.

2) Q: How are landscape lighting systems controlled? Do I have to be at home to turn it on? Is there a timer?

A: Landscape lighting systems can be controlled in several different ways. Photocells detect when the sun has set and turn the system on, and then turn it off when the sun rises. (On at dusk, off at dawn). Timers allow you to program when you want the lights to come on and when you want them to go off. There is even a version of timer that varies the on and off times slightly to make it look like the system is being activated by a person, even when you're away. Photocells and timers can also be used together, for example to turn the system on at dusk and to turn it off at a prescribed hour.

3) Q: What is the cost to operate landscape lighting?

A: The typical landscape lighting system costs just pennies a night to operate. If you are currently using a porch light or spotlights, you will be able to turn them off and enjoy the beauty and savings of low-voltage lighting.

4) Q: My landscape plants were just installed. Will I have to put in new landscape lighting when the plants mature?

A: 12 volt lighting is very flexible in its design allows easy movement or re-adjustment of fixtures as a landscape matures without significant labor or expense.

A: Only if you would like a more permanent installation. Portable torch stands can be obtained and used with a portable propane gas cylinder. Another answer is to purchase Seashore Lighting's kerosene Tiki Torch. It is designed to look identical to the natural or propane gas model but uses standard lamp oil with a 1" cloth wick. The support pole would be anchored in the ground with ready mix concrete.
