Why invest in Outdoor Lighting for your home?
Proper outdoor lighting is more than just illumination – it’s an investment in your home’s beauty, safety, and enjoyment. SoulCraft’s designs provide:
-
Aesthetics: Picture your Lake Burton home illuminated with elegant uplights highlighting the architecture and path lights leading to the boathouse or along the seawall – a warm welcome visible even from the water. Highlight the best of your home’s architecture and landscaping. Thoughtfully placed lighting adds drama and curb appeal, turning walkways, facades, and gardens into night time masterpieces.
-
Security: Deter intruders by eliminating dark hiding spots. A well-lit exterior, especially around entryways and perimeters, helps protect your homes by making potential threats visible and discouraging unwelcome visitors.
-
Safety: Prevent trips and falls by lighting stairs, pathways, and elevation changes. Navigate your property with ease at night – from the driveway to the door and across patios and paths – with lights guiding the way.
-
Functionality: Extend the use of your outdoor living areas after dark. Whether grilling on the deck or relaxing on the porch, custom lighting lets you enjoy patios, pools, and backyards late into the evening.
-
Entertainment: Create a warm, inviting atmosphere for gatherings. From intimate dinners to festive parties, the right lighting sets the mood for entertaining friends and family, making every event at your home feel special.
-
Energy Efficiency: Enjoy brilliant illumination with minimal energy cost. We use cutting-edge low-voltage LED fixtures that shine bright while using a fraction of the energy of old halogen lights – this saves you money and reduces environmental impact.
-
DarkSky Friendly Design: We are experienced in designing with respect for the night sky. Our installations minimize glare and light spill upward, preventing light pollution that obscures stars. (We can design to DarkSky guidelines so your property glows without contributing to urban skyglow.) This means happier neighbors and a clearer night sky, all while beautifully lighting your space.
Our Services & Techniques
At SoulCraft, we take a customized approach to landscape lighting. We use a variety of lighting techniques and fixtures to achieve the perfect look for your home:
-
Architectural Accents (Up/Down Lighting): Using discreet micro-sized spotlights, we highlight architectural details of your home – from stone facades to timber framing. Uplights can dramatize textures and peaks, while downlights can cast elegant glows from eaves or pergolas. In Buckhead’s historic neighborhoods, our up-lighting emphasizes architectural elegance without overpowering the home’s character. In the mountains of Northeast Ga, on Lake Burton and Lake Rabun, we love to highlight Timber Framing, stonework and seawalls with architectural lighting.
-
Wall Washing: We can bathe exterior walls in a soft, even glow. This technique is perfect for showcasing beautiful stonework or brick, gently illuminating large façade areas without harsh spots.
-
Water Feature Lighting: Make water features come alive at night. We illuminate waterfalls, fountains, ponds, docks, and even seawalls so that water and surrounding areas shimmer and stand out in the darkness.
-
Moonlighting: By mounting lights up in trees or high structures, we simulate natural moonlight cascading down. This subtle downlighting is ideal for courtyards, gardens, or entryways – creating an enchanting, dappled effect on the ground below.
-
Path & Stair Lighting: Ensure safe steps and pathways with low-profile path lights and step lights. These guide you along walkways, driveways, and stairs while adding a charming glow along borders and plantings.
-
Landscape Accent Lighting: Draw attention to the stars of your landscape. We use focus lights to accentuate specimen trees, sculptures, or flower beds, giving depth and focal points to your night-time scenery.
-
Deck & Patio Lighting: Extend your living space outdoors. From under-railing lights to post cap lights and overhead string lighting, we create warm and inviting decks and patios perfect for evening relaxation or entertaining.
-
Custom Design for Your Home: Every property is unique. We listen to your ideas and tailor our lighting design to suit your taste, architecture, and layout. The result is a bespoke outdoor lighting plan that feels just right for your home – nothing is one-size-fits-all.
