Accent Lighting

Elite Landscape Lighting has you covered

Up lighting is one of the most basic and popular forms of lighting. It is perfect for lighting tall trees or structures. Up lighting on trees often focus on highlighting the trunk or canopy of the tree. No two trees are the same and we use different beam angles, lumen output, and kelvin temperatures to best match each individual tree.

Up lighting offers various techniques, including shadowing and silhouetting, which are great for enhancing your residential lighting. With shadowing, the light is placed between the main vantage point and the object, aimed at the item. This works best when there’s a wall or flat surface behind the object to catch the shadows, creating a softer, more atmospheric effect. Silhouetting is ideal for showcasing dramatic shapes in your space. Here, the light source is placed behind the object, aimed toward the vantage point, ensuring the light source itself remains hidden.

Common up lighting fixtures include spotlights and well lights.

Moon Lighting

Moonlighting has become a popular lighting technique for both residential and commercial lighting services. The light source is positioned high in a tree, aimed downward to wash over the branches and ground below. The shadows created can be enhanced with a cooler white light, simulating the natural glow of moonlight. This effect is particularly striking in large, branched trees like Oaks, making it an ideal choice for both home and commercial projects.

Path Lighting

Path lighting is one of the most functional yet often misused lighting elements. Many inexperienced installers overuse lights, resulting in a “runway look” that makes the space feel cramped and over-lit. We strategically place our path lights or light bollards to provide a functional light source that illuminates pathways, entries, and steps, enhancing safety in both residential and commercial spaces. Additionally, we specialize in pool enclosure lighting to complement your outdoor areas with the perfect balance of style and function.

Underwater Lighting

Underwater lighting is a great way to enhance and feature water features such as, fountains, waterfalls, ponds, and other bodies of water. When dealing with water features fixture knowledge and design is crucial as it is important to use light fixtures that are designed for underwater use and that will last over time. Certain metals can also be harmful to fish and must also be considered when trying to light saltwater versus freshwater areas.

We also provide a variety of fish lighting solutions to attract and highlight marine life in any body of water, along with expert outdoor audio installs to enhance your outdoor experience.

Hardscape Lighting

Hardscape lighting is a great way to feature outdoor kitchen areas, fire pits, sitting areas, steps, and retaining walls. Hardscaping can impact your lighting design or landscaping by providing additional light to your outdoor living space that you may not have the ability otherwise. The incorporation into you outdoor lighting allows you to make optimum use of your property any time day or night and can provide a more natural feel to the lighting scene.

At Elite Landscape Lighting, we use specialized fixtures designed to mount between pavers or under the edges of walls and surfaces. The low-profile design remains discreet during the day but beautifully highlights design features at night.

At Elite Landscape Lighting, we offer color-changing RGB lighting, one of the newest and most advanced innovations in landscape lighting. RGB stands for red, blue, and green LEDs, which combine to create virtually any color imaginable. We integrate RGB lighting into up lighting, hardscapes, underwater features, and wash lighting. This versatile technology allows you to customize your landscape lighting for holidays, weddings, parties/events, sports themes, mood lighting, and sea turtle-friendly lighting.

No longer do you need to fumble trying to change out bulbs to create one color. Our innovative lighting packages can be incorporated into a mobile app which allows you to easily customize your lighting colors with the simplicity of your smart phone.

Washing Lighting

Wall wash lighting is particularly useful in lighting large, wide objects. It is most often incorporated into lighting homes, boulders, retaining walls, and large objects. When paired with other forms of lighting this can highlight unique design features in your landscape and home.

We use specially designed light fixtures in varying lumen output for each unique feature when washing a surface with lighting. Inexperienced lighting installers often only focus on lighting the landscaping and forget to light homes, structures, and architectural features.

Dock lighting

Elite Landscape Lighting has you covered

Dock lighting is essential in the safety and functionality of the usability of your dock. No longer do you need to struggle driving your boat up to an unlit dock after a long day on the water. Proper dock lighting is also essential to prevent possible accidents and/or falls while navigating surfaces over the water. If you have an oceanfront home we can still light your areas by using FWC (Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission) approved fixtures that are safe for sea turtles. It is important when lighting your oceanfront home to use an experienced designer as improper lighting can be harmful to sea turtles and/or result in hefty fines from local law enforcement.

Architectural Lighting

Elite Landscape Lighting has you covered

Architectural lighting is important to highlight the most expensive feature of your yard, your home. Oftentimes inexperienced lighting companies will only light up the trees and landscaping leaving your home to disappear into the dark background. Our highly trained installation technicians can put lights into areas where you never thought possible. We take extra effort and time to showcase the special architectural features of your home or business by using core drilled well lights or elevated lighting to reach the second story of your home. Let us show you how we can showcase your home with the proper lighting design.
