When it comes to landscape lighting installation projects, most people opt for traditional or LED lights. However, the decision is not always easy, and that’s where Abulous Lighting comes in to help you make the right decision. As the leading outdoor lighting company, we provide comprehensive services, including installation, maintenance, and replacement. Our licensed technicians use extensive expertise and knowledge to transform your backyard into a well-lit, safe, and aesthetically appealing space. If you have a home remodel scheduled or are looking to upgrade outdated fixtures, we can ensure you choose fixtures that align with your needs and preferences.

Energy Efficiency

While traditional lighting may illuminate your property at night, it uses a lot of energy and ultimately increases your monthly utility bills. One of the most striking features of modern LED lights is energy efficiency. Unlike conventional fixtures, LEDs consume significantly less electricity without compromising functionality and longevity. This not only saves you money on utility costs but also reduces your carbon footprint, contributing to environmental sustainability. With the world going green, investing in LED lighting is crucial to prepare your home for the future.

Light Quality

If you want clear, bright, and consistent lighting, LED is the best option. Traditional landscape lighting may get the job done, but LED allows you to personalize the mood of your outdoor space. The different colors and temperature levels that LED landscape lighting gives you the opportunity to change the overall ambiance of your yard without affecting light quality. On the other hand, traditional fixtures produce colder or warmer light that may not be as energy-efficient. With this in mind, consulting a licensed technician can help you choose fixtures that not only illuminate your outdoor spaces but also save you money on energy bills.

Heat Emission

Traditional bulbs produce a lot of heat, which increases the likelihood of damage and costly repairs. LED outdoor lighting emits little heat, making it safer and more durable than traditional fixtures. The last thing you want is a heated bulb near flammable materials or in areas where children and pets play. LED lights can illuminate your yard year-round while keeping everyone safe. Additionally, you don’t have to worry about frequently changing bulbs due to overheating.

Instant Lighting

Some traditional fixtures may take a few seconds or minutes to reach full brightness, which can be inconvenient and frustrating. Modern technology makes LED lights more convenient, as they reach their full brightness when switched on. This makes LED fixtures useful for areas where visibility and security are needed. Before installing outdoor lights, reach out to a professional electrician to ensure you invest in fixtures that activate instantly and provide consistent illumination.

Cost-Saving

While LED outdoor lighting has a higher installation cost than conventional bulbs, its longevity and energy efficiency can result in cost savings over time. Even if you are on a budget, the potential savings and long-term benefits make LED lights a worthwhile investment. The choice between traditional and LED landscape lighting depends on more than just money, so work with a certified technician to install fixtures that align with your requirements and priorities.

Now that you know the differences between traditional and modern lighting, you can make informed decisions. With all the different fixtures on the market, you can count on Abulous Lighting to help navigate the installation process and achieve your dream outdoor space.

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.

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.
