Fall is a favorite season. From a lighting perspective, your lights on tree lines and ornamental trees will begin to change. That what is fun about good lighting. What was a leaf covered crape myrtle is now a beautiful silhouette of the beautiful exfoliated bark of these trees.

Path lights...you either love em' or hate em'. Myself? they have their place and if done well, they look great. Most of what people dislike about them is that they never look straight and the landscape people are constantly knocking them over. Here is the solution that I recently did to resolve the issue and it is simple. Your lighting installer will be happy to do it for you. The state is typically 10" to 12" long and the lamp stem is about 22" to 24" tall. Dig a hole deep enough to have 1" of the stem below ground level. The hole should be 6" to 8" in diameter. Place the light into the center of the hole, add quick drying cement to the top of the stake being sure to keep the power cord free of the concrete, add water. Be sure that the lamp is level and upright by putting a small level on two sides of the stem. Add soil to the ground level and either seed or sod above it. Polish the lamp with a soft cloth sprayed lightly with WD40 and, viola, the lamps will always be upright and straight and tough to knock over. You could also add decorative stones around the lamp so that a string trimmer never touches it. Happy to help! www.beautifulnights.us

I had people comment on how "horrible" outdoor lighting is for pollinators and the environment. Now if I may address your concerns. It is very important to respect the ecological impact of lighting. We are careful not to over light a subject when we have that kind of leeway from a client. When using pathlights, we generally use an oversized cover so that very little light goes into the atmosphere. On house lighting, yes we use uplights as their effect is better than downlighting on the subject and our clients want that. That being said, our aim is to use the lowest power fixture that we can and we generally aim it to the homes soffit, again, hoping to minimize the effects on dark sky. In many of the neighborhoods, Belmont being one of them, this type of lighting is in high demand, and like I mentioned, we do our best to mitigate the environmental impact. I have attached a very interesting article from darksky.org specifically addressing this issues. Their study, showed that by minimized the time a light is on, had a great impact on how pollinators "moths" to be specific, had a fairly dramatic impact on their purpose. For our lights, we generally program them to come on at dusk and turn off at 11:00 or 12:00 am. This means that in the summertime when dusk is at 8:30 or so, that the lights are on for only 3.5 hours at most. so that means that there is for the most part about 6 hours of total darkness. The study shows that to be very ample. I hope that this info is a value to you. https://www.darksky.org/pollinators-switch-street-lights.../

I usually talk about how beautiful night lighting can be. But the practical side will also discuss the safety of lighting. In the photo above we added soft lighting on a stone stair that lighted the stairs that went from the pool deck to the spa up top. And they also looked great. The second photo is the lighting of the falls in the same area. www.beautifulnights.us
