NiteLites, the Landscape Lighting Professionals, is an industry leader in the production, installation, and maintenance of industrial grade, low voltage architectural and landscape lighting systems. Specializing in both commercial and residential lighting, Nitelites offers a number of benefits, such as added safety and security, curb appeal, increased property value, and extended evening hours that can be spent outdoors.

One of the most rewarding applications of outdoor landscape lighting is in the garden. Pathways, ponds, statues, trees, and shrubs all produce a serene environment when landscape lighting is applied. NiteLites professionals are experts in producing this type of effect. By using different techniques, they can create a different and more dramatic look for a client's property. Some of these lighting techniques are:

Up lighting -- Shining a light up from the ground into a canopy of branches of a tree. This is particularly effective if the tree branches cover a garden area.

Accent and spot lighting - This technique is a way to add drama to a landscaped garden or to focus attention on a statue or trellis.

Moonlighting -- By locating lights 14 to 16 feet up in the branches of taller trees and angling the light upward, a moonlight effect is created. This is also an effective method of security lighting, illuminating large ground areas.

Path lighting - Placing fixtures at a low level makes walking on a garden path inviting, and also safer.

Spread lighting -- Hiding lights in low-lying landscaping and ground cover causes the lighting to "spread" which emphasizes the textures and patterns of the plants.

NiteLites professionals can assist in the planning of the lighting system that will make any garden area a neighborhood showplace. NiteLites offers a free evening demonstration, see the results of a NiteLites system before investing anything.
