Avoiding Lighting Pollution with Use of Low Voltage Lighting

Light pollution can take several forms: 

       1)      Light Trespass:  unwanted light from a nearby source (i.e. neighboring house or commercial building)

       2)      Glare:  visibility reducing light that shines into eyes – into your homes window or into drivers’ eyes on adjacent streets.

       3)      Sky Glow:  obscured view of the night sky (constellations, planets, etc.) due to excess light. 

In fact there is a growing sensitivity to the problems associated with light pollution.

However, being conscious of light pollution does not require you to let your home and landscaping fade into the cover of darkness.  A NiteLites landscape lighting system -can beautifully illuminate your home, and bring added security to your property, without contributing to the problem of light pollution.  Rather than the harsh glare of line volt systems, we use energy efficient low-voltage light sources for all of our fixtures.  Additionally, our landscape lighting design professionals are trained in such lighting techniques as “washing” and “down lighting” that give maximum effect without wasting light.    NiteLites lighting systems are energy efficient and also come equipped with a timer, lighting up your home during the selected hours, and many of the fixtures come with hoods to direct the light to the focal point while minimizing the potential of glare and “light flooding” of your neighbor’s property.
