Our Process

The Lifespark Lighting Process

Experience the transformative power of landscape lighting with our unique After Dark Demonstrations. Witness firsthand how we can transform your property into an elegant nightscape. Our comprehensive process ensures you’ll find the perfect lighting solution for your space, tailored to your exact specifications.

Our process begins after the sun goes down. We will set up a live, on-site demonstration, showcasing a variety of lighting styles, colors, and intensities. This is a unique opportunity to see in real-time how different lighting elements can enhance the beauty and safety of your property, making it glow with warmth and elegance after dark.

Following the demonstration, our team of lighting experts will walk with you through your property to understand your specific needs, preferences, and vision. We will design a custom lighting plan that highlights your landscape’s best features, improves security, and creates the desired ambiance for your outdoor spaces.

We will then invite you to explore our wide range of high-quality lighting fixtures during our product showcase. This step allows you to choose the perfect lights to complement your landscape and architectural style. From traditional to contemporary, we carry an extensive selection of lighting systems, including the latest in LED and smart control technologies.

Once the design is finalized and the fixtures are chosen, our team of experienced technicians will install your new landscape lighting. We adhere to the highest standards of professionalism, working diligently to minimize disruption to your property while ensuring a seamless installation process.

We don’t consider our job done just because the lights are installed. Once the sun sets, we will return for the final adjustments. During this phase, we will fine-tune each lighting element to perfectly illuminate your property, ensuring that every light is positioned for the optimal effect.

Transform your landscape into a captivating nightscape. Book your After Dark Demonstration with us today, and let’s illuminate your outdoor spaces like never before.

Lifespark Lighting Systems

At Lifespark we only use the best Lighting Systems. Please click below to learn more about our Transformers, Fixtures, and more.

A low voltage lighting system uses a transformer to convert 120 volt current to 12 volt current. This safe, low voltage is distributed to the 12 volt light fixtures via wire cable. Transformers can be mounted inside or outside depending on the lighting design and electrical outlet location. We use only the highest quality stainless steel case transformers that are UL 1838 approved for landscape lighting. Also, they carry a lifetime warranty.

Special low voltage lighting cable is used to connect the fixtures to the transformer, usually 10,12,or 18 gauge is used. The cable can be easily hidden in the landscape or in the lawn. No trenching or disturbance of existing landscaping is needed. We also staple all of our cables in the ground to keep them in place.

Most bulbs used in landscape lighting fixtures today are halogen. The reason for this is you get a brighter, whiter light with less wattage. Wattages can range from 7 to 75 watts per bulb in a low voltage system, depending on the effect you are looking for. Average life of a halogen bulb is 2500 hours. How long is that? If you use your lighting system an average of 6 hours a night / 365 days a year, that is equal to 2190 hours. We usually recommend replacement of most bulbs after 1 year of service.

Low voltage lighting fixtures can be very decorative or easy to hide (if needed). They come in a wide range of colors and styles. Fixtures are also very easy to move and adjust as your landscape changes.

We use only fixtures manufactured by Kichler. They offer a wide selection of high quality landscape lighting products. For your information please click on this link to Kichler Lighting, should you be interested in visiting their website.

One of the most important aspect of a high quality low voltage lighting system is “water-tight” connections. We use only direct bury splice kits from 3M® that prevent splices from getting wet and pulling apart.
