Why Do You Need Exterior Lighting?

1. Legal Lighting Levels – Many public spaces require a certain level of light in order to make the area safe. Speak to us about your specific project for more details.
2. Aesthetics – Your building can look just as good at night as it can during the day. Sometimes buildings look even better when the right lighting is implemented at night!
3. Security – Lighting has a huge impact on the security of your building. Well lit areas are less likely to become the scene of wrongdoing.

Here are some commonly used exterior lighting techniques that the team at Lightsource use on projects. There are many solutions for every exterior lighting application so treat these solutions as an example of what is achievable on your project.

Uplighting

Uplighting is a very popular technique in both residential and commercial situations. Factors such as beam angle, positioning and overall output are important when considering uplighting a building. This example uses fittings from the Orma range from Linea Light. The customisable features of the Orma range make it an ideal solution for a huge number of uplighting solutions, such as those in the picture.

Facade Lighting

If you do not light the facade of your project, you are missing a huge opportunity to create something special during the hours of darkness. In this example, the Paseo by Linea Light has been used. The fittings surrounding the windows are fully DMX controllable and RGB. They are recessed into the wall in an aluminium casing for a seamless finish.

Pathway Lighting

One effective way to light a pathway is by using bollards. Bega has created a fantastic, modular bollard system to ensure your pathway is perfectly lit. Have an in-depth look at the Bega bollard range here.

Handrail Lighting

DW Windsor create the finest lit handrails on the market. Their fully customisable approach to designing your fittings allows you to create miles of seamlessly lit railing if you so desire. With various optic, finish and size options, you will find a solution that meets your requirements and exceeds your expectations.

Tree Lighting

Whether it’s a tree, bush or architectural feature in your garden, the chances are it will look better when illuminated! This particular projector is from Bega and is part of their easy to fit garden lighting system. By using lighting to highlight specific parts of your outside space, you can make the space feel bigger by drawing the eye to individual locations. Projector lights come in all shapes and sizes to illuminate absolutely any feature that you wish. Speak to our team today about the best fittings for your needs.

Strip Lighting / Linear Lighting

The lines of light in the canopy are created with Linea Lights Ice Cut fittings. These durable, high output fittings create continuous lines of light of the highest quality. Customisable options, such as optics, means that you can create stunning designs with functional light.

Downlighting

Downlighting can be an extremely effective way of illuminating your outside space. Whether you choose surface-mounted or recessed lighting, the options are endless in terms of size, output and optics available to you.

Step Lighting

It is essential to light outdoor steps and stairs correctly. Shown above is a recessed 24v wall light from Bega. The optic projects the light directly onto the stair to ensure you have the best view, even on the darkest of nights.

Street Lighting

Street lighting is a necessity for many public and commercial areas. High output overhead lights are a fantastic way to illuminate large areas with one light. Discover the ranges that Lightsource recommends by talking with one of our lighting consultants today.
