Outdoor Lighting as an Art Form

The latest LED technology enables our lighting designers and technicians at Beacon Audio Video Systems to push the boundaries of landscape lighting. What was once a functional element and a way to see in the dark has become an art form. This energy-efficient, high-quality light brings beautiful illumination to pools, patios, gardens, and walkways, creating a stunning environment after dark.

At Beacon, we partner with FX Luminaire, an industry leader in smart outdoor LED lighting. These lights enable you to change the color and intensity with the touch of a button, creating a distinct mood for every activity and setting. Hints of blue mimic moonlight, while amber creates the warm glow of candlelight. The Designer Series brings 30,000 vibrant colors, adjustable by hues, intensity, and saturation levels.

Varying Fixtures for Aesthetics and Design

Numerous fixtures enable our team to use light like a painter uses a brush. 

• Uplights add depth and texture to your outdoor area. With varying intensities and colors, we can accent foliage, draw attention to architectural features, and create visual interest.
• In-Grade Uplights include well lights used for uplighting trees, statues, or a broad wall-washing effect. 
• Path lights brighten walkways and areas that can’t be reached by downlighting from trees. These lights add ambiance, safety, and security.
• Wall lights highlight hardscape textures and are found on ledges and stairs.
• When installed correctly, downlights can mimic moonlight or enhance architectural elements.

Adjustable beam angles let us change the lighting from a narrow beam to a spotlight or a wide swath of illumination.

The Ideal Setting

FX Luminaire, combined with Luxor technology, lets us create up to 250 lighting groups in any design and dim fixtures from 1% to 100%. This capability allows our team to create the perfect setting for 40 outdoor activities, from dining to pool or garden parties and sporting events. 

When watching an outdoor movie, press ‘Movie Night,’ and certain lights dim while others provide a soft trail of illumination. Throughout the gardens, landscape lights resemble stars and shafts of moonlight. 

Imagine effortless lighting designed for the holidays and changing seasons with one touch on a smartphone app. This system also integrates seamlessly with the Control4 home automation platform.

At Beacon, we design, install, and program the latest innovative technologies, enhancing living spaces and everyday experiences. To learn more about an LED installation or to schedule a complimentary consultation, contact Beacon today.
