7 Deadly Sins Of Landscape Lighting

These “sins” highlight the importance of thoughtful planning, attention to detail, and using the right equipment to ensure that the landscape lighting system is effective, safe, and long-lasting.

1.

Glare

Excessive brightness that causes discomfort or hinders visibility, often due to poorly aimed lights or fixtures that are too intense. Proper light direction and control can help avoid this.

2.

Lighting Design

Failing to plan the overall layout and function of the lighting can lead to an uneven or inefficient result. Thoughtful lighting design enhances the aesthetic and functionality of the space.

3.

Future Considerations

Not planning for growth or changes in the landscape can result in lighting that needs to be reworked over time. It’s essential to consider how plants, trees, or structures will evolve and how that impacts the lighting setup.

4.

Connections and Wicking

Poor connections or improper wiring can lead to water damage and electrical issues. Ensuring that all connections are sealed and waterproofed is crucial for safety and longevity.

5.

Improper Materials

Using materials that aren’t suited for outdoor conditions can lead to rust, corrosion, or wear over time. It’s vital to use durable, weather-resistant materials in landscape lighting to prevent these issues.

6.

VD (Voltage Drop) and Wiring

Voltage drop can occur when the wire gauge is too small or the distance between the power source and lights is too great. This can lead to dim or inconsistent lighting. Using the correct wire size and keeping wiring runs as short as possible is essential.

7.

Safety

Safety should always be a top priority. This includes proper installation, use of waterproof fixtures, secure connections, and ensuring the system complies with local electrical codes to avoid hazards like electrical shocks or fire risks.
