Outdoor Lighting

Designed for Charleston homes and Lowcountry properties

A strong outdoor lighting plan usually combines several fixture types: path lights, uplights, downlights, step lights, and soft architectural accents.

We focus on warm light, clean fixture placement, and layouts that make the property more usable without overpowering the home.

For coastal and marsh-adjacent properties, fixture selection and placement should account for moisture, exposure, landscaping, and long wire runs.

FAQ

Outdoor Lighting questions

Is outdoor lighting different from landscape lighting?

Outdoor lighting is the broader category. Landscape lighting usually focuses on plants, trees, paths, and outdoor features, while outdoor lighting can also include porches, patios, stairs, docks, entryways, and architectural accents.

What color temperature should outdoor lighting be?

Most Charleston homes look best with warm light, often around 2700K to 3000K, because it feels natural against brick, stucco, wood, palms, and live oaks.

Can you light a backyard without making it too bright?

Yes. The best backyard lighting uses layered low-voltage fixtures and controlled beams so the space feels warm, not washed out.
