Only the best products pass our tests
Over the past 25 years, we’ve seen a remarkable improvement in the quality, reliability, and efficiency of lighting fixtures and bulbs. But with so many different manufacturers, how do we decide which products to use?
There are many manufacturers of landscape lighting products on the market today. Over the years a few have stood out as providing the best value for the price. This is what we primarily install today.
Having been in business for over two decades, we have learned to value reliability above all else. Whenever possible, we will not use any product until it has been on the market in a seasonal climate for a year. This isolates us from some of the catastrophic product launches that have occurred in the past, which only became evident a year after. Reliability is followed closely by performance and efficiency.

Lighting of an object or surface from below.The two most important characteristics for us in choosing a landscape lighting fixture are the material of which it is made, and how well it keeps out moisture over the years. Since these fixtures are made of solid brass, there is no paint to flake off, and its ability to keep out moisture ensures the bulb does not fail due to moisture and corrosion. One of the biggest differences between a cheap and quality fixture is its ability to keep out moisture long term.
