Color Changing Landscape Lighting and Initial Thoughts

I was speaking to a long-time client who recently upgraded every aspect of her extremely large waterfront home. She had removed the cabinets and the entire kitchen, and we had upgraded the audio/video/lighting and control systems. The interior designer did an impressive job on the interior design and decor, a photo-ready foyer that has had me and many others pulling out their phones to snap pictures.

Amidst all of this, I mentioned that her home looked truly amazing during the daytime- but it looked very similar to the other houses on her block during the nighttime (knowing that she obviously wanted her home to stand out). She mentioned that she agreed, and it was also time for an outdoor change. I created a plan of attack to add some energy to her beautiful home that would make it truly a standout at night. We installed an FX Luminaire color-changing landscape lighting system.

FX Luminaire Color-changing Landscape Lighting Design Strategy and Styles

The lights we generally use are of (3) basic styles- standard-style uplights for a narrow, more directed beam to hit the trunk and canopies of taller trees, rectangular wall-wash lights to cast a wider, more dispersed beam to bathe lower landscaping or lawn features and sculptures in a glow of light, and lastly we use bollard -style lights which look like a round post with a light ring at the top to add interest or to provide a safe glow along pathways or smaller areas.

Advanced Features of FX Luminaire Landscape Lighting

One of the significant aspects of these lights is the fact that they are FX Luminaire's ZDC fixtures, which can be programmed for Zoning, Dimming, and Color.

Zoning FX Luminaire Landscape Lighting: the Zoning allows different areas to be turned on and off independently, as you wish.

Dimming FX Luminaire Landscape Lighting: Dimming, allows the lights to be set for full brightness in some areas, and dimmed down for a more subtle light in others to change interest points.

The Color-Changing aspect: FX Luminaire Landscape Lighting allows these unique lights to access the full RGB color palette. Most people have only experienced color-changing landscape lights by changing a colored filter or lamp for Christmas or Halloween, or maybe some inexpensive outdoor lights that sometimes make it through the season before they deteriorate and are tossed.
