What Is Hardscape Lighting?
Hardscape lighting is a type of lighting that illuminates hardscapes, which are man-made structures like walkways, doorways, patios, and exterior walls. If installed professionally, hardscape lighting bounces off these areas expertly to create drama and depth on a property without needing traditional landscape techniques.
Its defined purpose of illuminating hard surfaces is what sets it apart from other forms of commercial lighting. It’s possible to install hardscape lighting on your own, but you’ll get the best results by working with a professional lighting contractor, such as our team at Illumiday.
Types of Hardscape Lighting
One of the best parts about commercial hardscape lighting is the creativity that goes into the decisions and installation. Hardscape areas often have very unique patterns, colors, and textures, so allowing a professional to evaluate your space and choose lighting that will truly elevate your space is invaluable.
Wall Lights
Wall lights are one of the most common types of hardscape lighting. They mount to a wall area and give off muted light to highlight both up and down the wall.
Spot Lights or Flood Lights
Flood lights shine much brighter and directly illuminate features such as trees, fountains, or statues.
Pathway Lights
Most businesses have at least one pathway into their building. Some even have paths leading all around their property. Installing outdoor lighting around pathways helps keep your team and customers safe while also encouraging them to stay in the designated walking areas.
Landscape Lights
Landscape lights can serve a dual purpose to illuminate both your beautiful landscape as well as your walkways and building's exterior. They shine on both your natural landscape and your hardscape areas.
Benefits of Hardscape Lighting
Hardscape lighting is more beneficial than simply lighting your outdoor spaces. When it comes to your commercial property, presentation is everything! Some of the benefits of hardscape lighting include:
Maximized outdoor space
Improved aesthetics and ambiance
Increased property value
Improved curb appeal
Enhanced security and safety
Regardless of the reason for wanting commercial hardscape lighting, enlisting the help of a professional team like Illumiday will ensure your installation goes smoothly.
In many cases, installing hardscape lighting involves drilling into wood, concrete, and other hard materials. Attempting to do this on your own increases your risk of causing extensive damage and costly reconstruction repairs. Leave it to the team at Illumiday to handle your installation safely and professionally.
It’s amazing how commercial outdoor lighting can transform your storefront from basic to breathtaking. A few strategic lights can make your brand pop and your property safer.
Designing Your Hardscape Lighting
The creative aspect of hardscape lighting allows for extensive customization for your own project, which means your lighting design can be entirely unique to your property. A professional lighting team will evaluate your space and offer suggestions based on the kind of hardscapes you have and the surrounding landscape.
Once you choose the style of lighting you prefer, the customization options are endless. Different colors, motion sensors, and timers can all elevate your space while bringing an element of functionality to your lighting.
For example, you can have your lights programmed to turn on at a certain time of day or to switch to certain colors during the holiday season. This creativity can make your business stand out and become a staple in the Cary community.
