Posted on March 13, 2007 by

NiteLites Outdoor Lighting of Delaware, the Landscape Lighting Professionals, will demonstrate their architectural and landscape lighting products at the Greater Philadelphia Spring Home Show, scheduled for March 30 through April 1 at the Valley Forge Convention Center.  The outdoor lighting products can expand the living and entertainment space for any home or business owner.

NiteLites Outdoor Lighting of Delaware, the Landscape Lighting Professionals, will demonstrate their high quality architectural and landscape lighting products at the Greater Philadelphia Home Show.  The show, scheduled for March 30 through April 1 will be held at the Valley Forge Convention Center, 1160 First Avenue, Valley Forge, PA 19406.  Admission to the show is $ 9.00 for adults.  Children under 16 are admitted free.  The show is an event designed for homeowners in all stages of remodeling, landscaping, and decorating their homes.  Experts will be available to demonstrate their products and answer any questions, and can provide the attendee with several new ideas on enhancing their home and landscape. 

While attending the show, stop at the NiteLites booth, and let Steve Levine and his staff share photos of their spectacular collection of homes and landscapes illuminated by a NiteLites outdoor lighting system.  They will also provide practical ideas on extending the living and entertainment space available.  In addition, Mr. Levine can provide a list of pre-construction tips for homeowners and business owners who are planning construction projects that include architecture and landscape lighting.

With homeowners trying to maximize their home’s living and entertainment space, the home construction and renovation business is booming.  Remodeling or expanding the existing structure is one option available to the homeowner.  But it is not the only option.  By assessing the existing property, and with some creativity, new living and entertaining space can be created without spending thousands of dollars.

To make the under used areas of a property more inviting, and to add to the property’s overall ambience, an excellent option is architecture and landscape lighting.  When lit, decks and patios are an extension of the indoor living area.   Colors and shapes in a garden come to life.  Statues, ponds, gazebos can become a focal point. 

While this sounds simple enough, there is a wide variety of lighting fixtures and lighting techniques to consider.  Fixtures can range from dim lights used to gently illuminate a pathway for safety reasons, to bright security lights to illuminate larger areas.  Techniques can include lights aimed to highlight a trees branches or foliage, or lights aimed downward to create a moonlight effect. If a pond or small waterfall is a part of the garden, underwater lights create an extraordinary effect.  There are many other methods that can be used to accent a desired area, structure, or plant.

The homeowner can try the do it yourself approach.  This would mean knowing the areas of the property that would be lighted, the correct way to light those areas, and the know-how to install the lighting system.  Another way to utilize outdoor lighting to expand the living and entertaining area is to hire a professional who has the training and experience to design the project, incorporate the homeowner’s ideas into the project, and complete the installation.  In this way the proper (and most effective) fixtures and techniques would be incorporated, along with a warranty on the parts and service, and a maintenance plan to ensure the ongoing enjoyment of the completed job.

Among the many companies that offer architecture and landscape lighting, how does the homeowner make the right choice?  Since high quality, professionally installed lighting systems often start at $2500.00 and may go much higher, NiteLites recommends researching to find a reliable company with national presence that will stand behind its warranty. Since trees, shrubs, and grasses grow, and wind and other elements can wreak havoc with lighting systems, NiteLites states that it is also important to find a company that offers a viable maintenance program to keep the lighting investment operational year round.

President and CEO Thomas A. Frederick of NiteLites Franchise Systems, Inc. explains the process this way "Start with a (landscape lighting) company that will show you exactly how your property will look after lights are installed, review the written estimate and the warranty. Then check references, drive by some projects lit by the company, and finally research the size and longevity of the company standing behind lighting system. It is not a difficult process, and it is well worth the time." He also added, that perhaps as much as 25% of their work comes from people who bought systems that no longer work, and that often the original company is no longer in business.
