Celebrate National Outdoor Lighting Month in Colorado

Posted on October 10, 2013 by outdoorlightingofcolorado

national-outdoor-lighting-month-2013-logo@2x-c7e66e50Autumn is a beautiful time of year in Colorado with warm days and pleasant evenings. As the sun begins to set earlier and earlier, there is no reason to stop using  your beautiful outdoor spaces that you’ve enjoyed throughout the rest of the year.

That is why Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Colorado is helping to support and promote National Outdoor Lighting Month throughout the month of October. Coinciding with the end of Daylight Saving Time (that occurs on Sunday, November 3rd), National Outdoor Lighting Month will be an annual consumer awareness effort to educate homeowners about the safety, security and lifestyle/property enhancements that outdoor lighting can add to their homes.

To support the educational aspect of the campaign, a free guide on How to Choose An Outdoor Lighting Professional can be downloaded from the website. The guide provides helpful design tips on pathway lighting, up-lighting and grazing, outdoor living space lighting, deck and step lighting, and festival lighting. The Guide also provides helpful tips on product selection, installation guidelines, and on-going maintenance considerations.

Outdoor lighting can also add to the curb appeal of any house this time of year. Anyone who has ever tried to purchase or sell a house this time of year can also attest to the value that outdoor lighting can bring to the real estate transaction. Which house will get noticed more – the house with only one carriage light or the one that is beautifully illuminated that basically says welcome home?

You can read more about National Outdoor Lighting Month in a recent article in Turf Magazine.  If you have any questions about lighting techniques or how outdoor lighting can add to the beauty and usability of your home, please call us at 303/948-9656.

Holiday Lighting Made Easy in Metro-Denver and Along the Colorado Front Range

Posted on November 3, 2012 by outdoorlightingofcolorado

Residential Christmas Lighting

Fall is in the air and in recent weeks, a few snowflakes as well. Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Colorado is your full-service design and installation contractor for holiday and Christmas-lighting decorations. We specialize in residential, commercial, and municipal outdoor and holiday lighting projects. In addition, we have the products and materials to provide interior decorating services as well with our full line of wreaths, garlands, decorated trees, bows etc. to make any interior a festive space during the holidays. 

While OLP of Colorado can also do the standard C7 and C9 design treatments (incandescent or LED) that everyone else provides, we like to provide our customers additional options to set their house, business, or community apart from all the rest with truly unique designs and light treatments. Our LightLinks products provide unique designs such as snow flakes, Christmas stockings, bow and swag, etc. to truly highlight your house or business.

For decorating trees, we can light them with LED multi-color starbursts or oversized lighted sculptures that will make them a highlight of your neighborhood. For commercial spaces, we can also provide large lighted sculptures to promote the holiday cheer and make your business a focal point.

Holiday Commercial Sculpture

OLP of Colorado provides full service design, installation, take-down and storage services for our holiday lighting customers. However, if you are a do-it-yourselfer, we can also sell you any product on a retail basis as well.

For more information, please call us at 303/948-9656 or check out our holiday web site.

Color Lens Covers For Your Landscape Lighting Fixtures Make Christmas Decorating A Snap

Posted on December 10, 2011 by outdoorlightingofcolorado
Example of Color Lens Covers

Would you rather be watching a football game instead of dragging Christmas lights and extension cords all over your front yard in the snow? If you already own a landscape lighting system, you’re now in luck. Multi-color acrylic lens covers are available that will install over your existing well lights. The lens covers are available in green, red, dark blue, light blue, amber, purple and orange. In addition, color lens covers are also available for MR16 spot lighting fixtures and color LED bi-pin bulbs are available for path lights.

 
Red Lens Covers Used on Well Lights by Front Entrance

Red lens covers work exceptionally well on brick, stone and light-colored stucco. Green lens covers work very well on pine and spruce trees, some deciduous trees, and light-colored stucco. Of course, dark blue and orange lens covers are available to show your support of the Denver Broncos. Some college alumni like to select lens covers in their school’s colors to highlight their home during the college football bowl season. It’s fun and easy to mix and match different color effects from one season to the next. And, some of our customers use the orange lens covers during Halloween, in addition to showing their support for the Denver Broncos.

 
Red and Green Lens Covers

Whatever your holiday lighting needs (from color lens covers to a complete turnkey Christmas lighting design and installation), Outdoor Lighting Perspectives still has available inventory to get your home ready in time for the holiday season.
