Have you noticed that the days are getting shorter on Long Island? Sunset is now at 6:30pm! In approximately 4 weeks day light savings time will begin and that will reduce another hour of day light. It usually takes us a few days to adjust! And one thing we never adjust to is going home to a dark house!

To keep your home and landscape looking great into the evening and night time hours we recommend installing a Landscape Lighting System. Landscape Lighting adds hours of enjoyment to the outdoors in every season as well as providing security and safety. A well-designed landscape lighting system allows your home and landscape to look “alive” as well as deterring unwelcome visitors. A well-designed driveway, walkway and entry area can prevent slips and falls. 

The Landscape Lighting Industry has grown tremendously in just the past few years. With improvements in lighting fixtures, technology, and understanding of lighting design many homeowners are opting for this investment. A few improvements that have been made in only the past few years include:

  • Brass, copper, and alloy lights are constructed of quality materials that are low maintenance and guaranteed to last many years.
  • LED’s, light emitting diodes vs. incandescent bulbs, that last for many years and use up to 90% less energy.
  • Lighting controls that use smart application technology, work from your smart phone or iPad, tablet, etc. This new technology allows you to program your lighting, automatically adjust to dawn and dusk, and use manually anywhere in the world with a wifi connection. Create different lighting scenes on your property for different times of the year.
  • The availability to change the color of your lights to different colors at different times of the year! This can be used during holidays or special occasions. E.g. red, white, and blue for the 4th of July, orange and purple for Halloween, and red & green for Christmas.

Now is an ideal time to consider landscape lighting and have installed in your home before the harsh weather arrives. Our designs are creative and practical and are the result of 20+ years of experience and education of the science of landscape lighting. Our estimates are free! We can meet with you at a mutually convenient time to share ideas and provide you with solutions to extending the beauty of your home and landscape into the evening.  If you already have an existing lighting system Rain Rich can repair, modify and upgrade to provide you with a quality system.
