A good lighting system should demonstrate the designer's ability to achieve the lighting effects desired by the client while considering the issues of cost, equipment performance and site conditions. We at Sunrise Sprinkler & Landscape Lighting can help you with this from start to finish.

The appeal of good lighting is mainly a matter of individual taste but some common deficiencies in lighting design are easy to identify:

• High surface brightness - the funeral home or model home look
• High contrast ratios - hot spots of bright light surrounded by large dark areas
• Lack of variety in the lighting techniques - or the opposite: overly dramatic effects
• Lighting that shines into the widows of the home or into neighboring homes
• An over abundance of path lighting too closely spaced - the runway effect
• Unbalanced lighting that divides rather than unites the landscape features
• Glare from unshielded sources that detract from the intended effects
• Dim lights or large variations in light-to-light brightness indicate improper engineering

The purpose of lighting is to re-establish the relationship between the house and the landscaping. Lighting should enhance the setting, extend the hours of enjoyment of the outdoors and provide for the safety and convenience of guests. It can also address issues of security in a manner that is aesthetically pleasing and appropriate to the site.
