Tips on Landscape Lighting from Sonoran Gardens

For years, Sonoran Gardens Landscape Design & Construction has been receiving questions about LED landscape lighting. Our response has always been that the technology wasn’t quite there yet. Outdoor lighting should provide soft and subtle highlights not a florescent impersonation of a UFO landing in your front yard. I always say that landscape lighting is the feature that brings a yard from great to WOW! But LED lights just didn’t cut it. I am so excited to say that is no longer the case!

FX Luminaire has created a line of LED lights that are not only attractive on the exterior, but also project the type of lighting suitable for a landscape, all while maintaining the benefits of LED. Their light fixtures come with unique color filters that can be used to get the perfect illumination. So why use LED?

1. Energy Efficiency: LED lights require + 80% less voltage than halogen based lights, which equates to lower energy costs and longer fixture life.
2. Heat Reduction: Lower voltage means less heat. Less heat is safer and also attributes to longer life.
3. Life Span: Did I mention LED lights last longer? LED lights can last 50,000 hours or more!

FX Luminaire LED lights installed by Sonoran Garden come with a 10 year manufacturer’s warranty – that means no light bulb replacements for 10 years!

Remember installing outdoor lighting is an art. Allow our Sonoran Gardens designers to tastefully incorporate landscape lighting into your yard. Call us today at 520-579-9411.
