Experience Stunning Illumination, Effortlessly Controlled

More homeowners than ever prioritize outdoor living spaces. According to a 2024 U.S. Outdoor Trends Study by Houzz, the top three reasons for upgrading outdoor areas are: 

  • Improving aesthetics
  • Elevating entertainment
  • Extending livable space

There’s one element involved in each of those reasons for enhancing outdoor areas: outdoor lighting systems. It’s an essential component of extending your home into the great outdoors, whether you want to watch movies under the stars, dine alfresco, or enjoy an oasis that only night can bring.

When paired with smart controls and automation, it’s also one of the keys to a luxurious lifestyle.

Below, we’ll explore the benefits of automating your Lewes-area backyard and the role outdoor lighting plays. Keep reading to learn more.

Lighting Up the Patio

In Houzz’s study, nearly 40% of those renovating their homes upgraded their patios or terraces. For many, this is where friends and family gather as the warmer weather appears. From barbecuing to watching the big game and relaxing to listening to their favorite music, some families use these spaces more than their indoor dining rooms. 

With the right lighting and furnishings, a patio can take on any aesthetic you choose. Bohemian design may incorporate hand-blown glass pendants. Wall sconces and lanterns illuminate elegant aesthetics. Add the appropriate music, and you have a night to remember. But how do you manage it all?  

By automating the technologies used in your outdoor areas, you can experience a seamless transition from the interior to the exterior of your property. Like indoors, automated scenes can manage all your audio, video, and lighting. It can even control your pool, spa, and grill. 

When dining with friends, press ‘Outdoor Entertainment,’ and your landscape and patio lights illuminate, bathing outdoor spaces in a warm candlelight glow. Simultaneously, your landscape audio system streams your ‘Dining’ playlist in high-fidelity sound. 

Illuminating Your Landscape

Today’s landscape lighting is a far cry from its predecessors. While it still brightens pathways and stairs for safe navigation, it does so in an incredibly stunning manner. Pathway lights cast a soft, warm glow onto the ground and the surrounding landscape. Hanging lights filter through trees and pergolas to create an effect that resembles moonlight. 

With the combination of low-voltage LED lights and home automation, our lighting design and integration experts can program different scenes that set the appropriate stage for all your outdoor activities. One touch transforms the lighting, solar shades, music, fire features, and more.  

Celebrating summer with a tropical-themed luau? One tap on a touchscreen streams Caribbean music, lights the brass Tiki torches, and illuminates your entire property in turquoise, aqua, and cyan. When hosting an extravagant dinner party, press ‘Whole Home Entertaining,’ and beautiful music streams throughout your home, indoors and out. At the same time, pre-set lighting scenes settle into the perfect illumination everywhere.
