When the sun goes down, we rely on landscape lighting to keep our homes safe and beautiful. Unfortunately, most homeowners often choose low-voltage fixtures from the local store, which hardly go the distance. If you have a home renovation or outdoor lighting installation in Atlanta, GA as scheduled, Abulous Lighting is the go-to service provider. We leverage extensive expertise and knowledge to help you choose the right landscape fixtures for your lighting needs. Let’s delve into the crucial factors to consider before choosing outdoor fixtures.
When it comes to installing outdoor lighting fixtures, determine if the lighting is for ambiance, safety, or highlighting focal points. It is advisable to evaluate the layout and size of your landscape and consider the height of different features, such as trees. By assessing your needs, you can make informed decisions that ensure optimal functionality and longevity. Additionally, consulting a trusted electrician can help you choose outdoor fixtures that address your specific lighting needs without risking safety hazards down the line.
If you want to illuminate pathways and walkways for safety and visibility, path lights may be the most suitable. However, illuminating patios, entrances, and architecture is suited for wall lights. For property owners who want outdoor lighting to focus on specific areas or objects, spotlights are the best option. Before investing in a lighting system for your landscape, research and work with a trusted technician to ensure you choose the right fixture type for your needs.
With all the different fixtures on the market, choosing the appropriate brightness levels goes a long way to ensure adequate visibility and prevent excess glare. Beyond brightness, consider the mood you want to create and how the light color will interact with the surrounding environment. In addition, ensure that the lighting fixtures you choose provide adequate coverage for the intended space. The last thing you want is to install outdoor lighting that is barely bright or does not cover the target spaces.
Another vital factor to consider when installing landscape lighting fixtures is durability. Choose fixtures made from durable materials, such as aluminum, stainless steel, or brass, as they can withstand the elements. Electricians and industry experts recommend fixtures with a high Ingress Protection (IP) rating to ensure resistance against dust and moisture. If you live in an area that experiences extreme weather, consult a licensed electrician to install appropriate fixtures that can function optimally year-round.
Technological advancements over the years have allowed manufacturers to increase product efficiency without increasing costs. With that said, LED lighting stands out when it comes to energy efficiency and longevity. If you want more control over your landscape lighting fixtures, consider smart systems, which allow you to schedule turn-on and turn-off times, saving energy and money. Compare the prices of different products and choose a suitable system that aligns with your specific needs and preferences without breaking the bank.
Lastly, consider hiring a licensed and certified electrician for landscape lighting, especially when dealing with complex systems. While DIY enthusiasts may opt for a more hands-on approach, electrical projects require extensive expertise and specialized equipment to execute safely and correctly. A technician understands the intricacies of different systems and adheres to local codes, giving you peace of mind knowing that everything is handled professionally.

Absolute Lighting installed my outdoor flood lights 2 years ago and they are beautiful! They did such a great job that I used them to setup and take down the Christmas lights for the past 2 years. I would highly recommend them. Frank always responds to questions and automatically puts me on the schedule for set up and take down of the Christmas Lights.
We love Abulous lighting and have been using them for years They are very responsive and professional and will come back no questions asked for any follow up work Good pricing and highly trustworthy Frank, the owner, is a true stand up guy. I recommend without reservation
Frank and the team at Abulous were great to work with. They came out and retro-upgraded some previous lighting that we had done a few years back and made it look as seamless and continuous as possible. They also worked with us on the best (& most economical) way to light up a hard to reach area of our yard. They also followed up with us after we had another group of workers "disturb" some of the lighting wires and came back out and fixed everything back up again. Very friendly, dependable local resource who do great work. Highly recommend.
After reviewing multiple companies we contracted with Abilous Lighting to create outside accent lighting for our home, backyard patio, walkways, & fire pit. Their ideas and design were the best! It was a pleasure working with Frank Hasty, who did the design, and his crew of Brandon & Rusty who performed the work. All were excellent to work with. We are very happy with Abulous Lighting.
