Your Outdoor Lighting Sets the Scene for Any Occasion

Employ Dedicated Scenes to Make Outdoor Living More Fun, Comfortable, and Safe 

As the frost clears and the evenings stretch longer, the natural impulse is to move your life back outside. Spring is a time of rebirth. It’s time to bring your gardens and patios back to life and make them the primary settings for morning coffee or late-night conversations. But that’s not possible if your pristine backyard and custom stonework disappear after dark. 

At Luxe AV, we make sure that your exterior architecture and professional landscaping don’t vanish after sunset. Read about the outdoor lighting scenes we implement to keep your home beautiful and functional long after dusk. 

Enhance Curb Appeal with Automated Architectural Highlighting

Professional lighting helps sculpt your property. We use techniques like uplighting and wall washing to highlight the textures of your home’s facade and the natural canopy of your trees. Without these types of lighting strategies, these beautiful elements are lost in the shadows. But with a few well-placed fixtures, we add depth and drama to your curb appeal.

For the ultimate luxury, we combine those high-end fixtures with smart lighting systems. Platforms like Lutron and Savant use astronomical clocks to track the exact sunset time in your area. That way, your “Sunset” scene activates precisely as the light fades. Your lights slowly dim up in contrast with the disappearing sun. Your home looks its best without you ever having to reach for a switch.

Host Effortlessly with One-Touch Entertainment Scenes

Hosting friends and family should be a relaxing experience. In a traditional setup, you might find yourself walking across the yard to toggle various switches or adjust individual dimmers. We replace that clutter with elegant, engraved keypads that consolidate your controls into scenes also accessible through your mobile app.

Press a single button labeled “Outdoor Dining” or “Firepit”. Instantly, your landscape lighting softens, your pool lights change to a warm glow, and your outdoor audio broadcasts a curated playlist. For more vibrant gatherings, a “Party” scene activates Ketra fixtures to provide crisp, functional light for the grill, then shifts to deep amber tones for drinks by the water.  

Protect Your Property with Smart Security  

A well-lit home is a significant deterrent to intruders. Our integrated installations allow for a dedicated “Security” scene. If sensors detect unexpected movement at the edge of your property, it can automatically flood the entire yard with light to eliminate hiding spots, deter intruders, and alert you to the activity.

Safety also applies to your guests and family. We design specific scenes to light staircases, walkways, and transition areas. These could activate at sunset or via motion sensors to prevent accidents while highlighting garden beds. 

When you are away on travel, your system engages a “Vacation” mode. Unlike simple timers, this scene will mimic your actual usage patterns. It turns lights on and off throughout the house to make it look occupied. 

The Final Polish for Your Spring Landscape

Spring is the perfect time to add those finishing touches to your outdoor spaces. Lighting should be the first upgrade you make.  As the weather continues to warm, make sure your home is ready to be enjoyed at any hour.
