4 Ways Landscape Lighting Design Sets Your Hamptons Home Apart
Add Beauty, Safety, and Ambiance with Light
While the Hamptons may be Long Island’s most beautiful coastal area to enjoy a dark, starry sky, it doesn’t mean your property needs to go totally dark at night. You’ve invested extensively in your landscape, gardens, pools, and water features, and you want to enjoy their beauty after dark as well.
Investing in a professional landscape lighting design can set your home apart and present a different view and ambiance after the sun disappears. Keep reading for four ways to create an inspiring nightscape with landscape lighting.

CREATE A NEW VIEW
If you have a water, dune, or wooded view, you won’t see much of it after dark. Design your own view with creative use of lighting. Create dramatic shadows of a tree or sculpture, make your pool and fountains dance with color from LED lighting, or light up the edge of the woods with soft uplights. Show off the unique entrance to your house with wash lights. In the dark, light can create a new look for your property.
LIGHTING FOR SAFETY
Lighting is essential for safety after dark. Use lights to illuminate long driveways and entrance gates, brighten walking paths, and reveal steps to enable easy navigation. All these lights also visually enhance your home's features, creating an almost magical effect.
SET AN OUTDOOR AMBIANCE
Set a mood and ambiance for the enjoyment of your outdoor environment. Specialty lights like galaxy fiber optic pool lighting, illuminated waterfalls, color-changing bubblers, and lighted spills add drama and flair for outdoor entertaining or just relaxing with a nightcap and enjoying the breeze from the ocean.
ADD CONTROL AND AUTOMATION
Lighting control can make all your landscape and specialty lighting a snap to manage. Preset lighting scenes can turn on specific lighting programs, like for large parties. Another scene can set the mood for enjoying a relaxing soak in the spa before retiring for the evening. If you like to enjoy a fire in the outdoor fireplace or firepit, one button can ignite your fire and set the lights to the ideal settings. Lighting control can turn on your outside lights at sunset, use sensors to light paths only when someone is navigating, and ensure your landscape lights never burn by day when not needed.
