LED Lighting for a Luxury Beachfront Resort

By qb2018 | LED Landscape Lighting, LED Lights Manufacturers, LED Outdoor Lighting | No Comments

At Garden Light LED, we are tasked to light all kinds of properties, from privately owned mansions to hotels and restaurants. One of our more recent and most interesting lighting designs was a local condo resort and we had a blast making it happen. Mandalay Beach Club in Clearwater Beach, FL, a luxury condo resort, is one of the most sought-after properties on the strip. Located directly on the beach, facing the Gulf of Mexico, this stunning development sits right next to the famous Pier 60, where there is a nightly happening equal to Mallory Square in Key West, and only 100 yards away from the new Clearwater Beach walk. The Mandalay is in a high-profile space and needed to be lit perfectly to show off it’s elegance to the thousand of tourists who pass by it daily and nightly. Garden Light LED was quickly inspired by the Mandalay’s scenery and beautiful sunsets during the resort’s outdoor landscape design process. We started by selecting the amber color temperature output for the majority of the fixtures being installed. The amber tones complimented the color scheme of the building and created a warmth that reflected the natural light on this stretch of…

“Joe! The outdoor lighting fixtures in the front of the house and out by the pool deck stopped working after the big storm. I’m very unhappy. We’re having a pool party this weekend. I need you to fix this mess.” “Well, it was a category two hurricane, Mrs. Jones.” “I don’t care, fix it!” There is nothing worse than having a client call you to complain that the lighting system you put in is failing during bad weather conditions. It’s doubly unpleasant when you’re out there in the rain or in 100-degree weather replacing fixtures that quit working. Hurricane season is upon us. Your lighting installs and beautiful lighting designs are going to need to survive fierce summer storms and intense heat. If you want to please your customers, you should consider offering them lighting fixtures that can stand the test of weather as well as time.

By qb2018 | Landscape Lighting, Outdoor Lighting | No Comments

Learn How to Create a Safer and More Welcoming Driveway Entrance Driveway entrance lighting is a very important aspect when looking to create a safe and welcoming entrance that you and your guests will enjoy every night at your home or business. Sometimes, builders and lighting designers may also make the mistake by over-lighting a driveway entrance by installing to many light fixtures. This driveway lighting design mistake, is often a result that occurs by simply focusing on lighting the entry drive-up areas way to brightly from the wrong angles or from overhead fixtures that can become blinding or create glares to the drivers as they pull up, creating a negative effect on the welcoming ambience that most residents, guests and lighting business owners desire. As a rule of thumb, when you’re looking for the best ideas to create a welcoming driveway lighting design that’s truly safe and alluring to drive into every night, ensure your driveway lighting project ideas include the use of low profile lighting fixtures that can handle being driven over by heavy vehicles while being durable and attractive enough to avoid unwanted maintenance costs or covers that may restrict light output.

6061 Stainless Aluminum: The Best Choice For Coastal Lighting Environments

By qb2018 | Color Branding, LED Landscape Lighting, LED Outdoor Lighting | No Comments

Imagine you’re designing an elegant oceanfront outdoor space. You find the perfect LED light fixture, one that goes along beautifully with your modern contemporary design and enhances the coastal lighting environment. It’s the subtle but notable touch that brings everything together. Your outdoor lighting project is perfection. Fast forward to six months later and the client is upset because the lighting fixture has corrosion. Ouch! Not only is the physical look of the fixture unappealing, but now the electronic components are compromised. When approaching an outdoor lighting project – especially one that involves coastal lighting environments near waterways – it’s important to carefully consider the lighting fixture material. While being in close or direct proximity to the rivers and ocean, wind speeds, land and water temperature differences and many other factors can greatly vary with the amount of airborne salt spray that a coastal home or business property is exposed to daily. With these many outdoor factors and changing wet weather conditions having an impact on a coastal property and its outdoor landscapes, it’s no secret that coastal locations present challenges for professional services companies that install outdoor lighting products. But, why is salt exposure such an important factor to…
