Planning for Outdoor Lighting

Friday, September 16th, 2011

Outdoor lighting is truly an art, and we’re happy to share tips that will help you get the most beautiful and efficient  results.  Whether you are building a new home from scratch or re-working your yard or garden it makes sense to take some simple steps to ease the process of installing eco-friendly low voltage outdoor lighting.

1.  Place an electric outlet in all future transformer locations – at least one near the front and one near the rear of your home.  The outlets should be placed in discreet locations, such as behind shrubbery or near other utilities like A/C units.  Tip: a garage or basement may also work for locating landscape lighting transformers, but outdoor outlets have the advantage that no access is needed into your home for future service.

2. Have your electrician install all landscape lighting outlets with GFCI protection and with in-use covers.  Any new electrical circuits for landscape lighting should be wired for 20 amps.

3. Place a 2″ diameter conduit under all concrete/stone walkways and/or driveways where you might feel that future lighting will be needed. This will facilitate the running of wires on either side of the walkways/driveways. These conduits could be used for outdoor lighting purposes as well as stereo speakers, irrigation, etc.

Important: Assure that these conduit lines are clearly marked and easy to find when they are needed in the future. If you set up a usable/memorable system (i.e., 2 feet from where the driveway meets the sidewalk or parallel to the curb or put a small notch on either side of the driveway/walkway) you should be able to locate the conduits for years to come. Keep a copy of the plans and clearly mark them for future review.

These are simple and inexpensive tips that can make future landscape lighting installations much easier.  At Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Northern NJ we offer complete design, installation and maintenance of high quality landscape lighting.  Outdoor Lighting is all we do.  So if you’re in the dark ;-) , and want to speak to the NJ outdoor lighting specialists, call or contact us.

Please feel free to call us with any questions, or to request a site visit for your new project.  Good luck!

Landscape Lighting at Morristown, NJ Home Show

Thursday, March 25th, 2010

Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Northern New Jersey will be exhibiting the latest landscape lighting fixtures and outdoor lighting technology at the North Jersey Spring Home Show at the National Guard Armory, 450 Western Ave. Morristown, NJ – on January 27, 28 & 29, 2011.  You can find us at Booth 507 along the north wall of the exhibition hall.

According to the sponsor,  The Home & Landscape Show is a great way to find what you need for your home interior & exterior. Showcasing the latest trends in kitchen, bath and outdoor remodeling this expo is the one place to talk to professionals and produce quality information.

Norm Cohen, owner of  Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Northern NJ says  “I’ve enjoyed meeting North Jersey homeowners and landscape contractors at the Morristown shows.    I think for homeowners the nicest thing about a home show, is you get to meet the owner of the company or key personnel and ask them questions face-to face.       Our display gives people a taste of what our landscape and architectural lighting can do for their homes.  Being there gives homeowners  an opportunity to ask us questions about planning and implementing an outdoor lighting scheme.  Sometimes we meet people who are having problems with their lights, and may need service, repair or maintenance, and we can answer questions about that.  Many people who we first met at home shows have gained a level of comfort with us, and called us many months later when they became ready to do their garden lighting, landscape lighting or architectural lighting projects. ”

“We’d love to see you at the Morristown Home Show.  If that is not convenient, please call us at 973-486-0819 or comment to the blog.”

LED Outdoor Lighting at Springfest

Tuesday, March 16th, 2010

Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Northern NJ enjoyed SpringFest this past weekend.  Northern NJ homeowners were excited about the new LED fixtures and commercial lighting fixtures we displayed.    The LED rope lighting for outdoor applications was also a big hit.   The LED fixtures, which are our most eco-friendly type of landscape lighting,  now have impressive brightness and excellent color rendition, unlike the LED’s of the past.

Garden enthusiasts had a chance to discuss their landscape lighting questions with Norm Cohen personally.    One of the most popular fixtures for gardeners is our unique half path light, which illuminates a path on side and floods the plantings behind it with light.

We met several homeowners who we will be contacting shortly to arrange FREE nighttime demonstrations.
