Why 12 Volt Lighting?
Lighting designers choose to specify NightscapingŪ low voltage lighting for several reasons. Cost saving installations and the large array of 12-volt lamp sources are big influences.
Flexibility and the portability or non-permanence of stake-mounted fixtures allows equipment to be relocated as plantings change and mature.
Many prospective clients ask for it. They are sophisticated and 'know it when they see it.' They can plainly convey their desires and needs to the lighting designer for the controlled under-stated subtly that low-voltage lighting provides.
The great American architect Frank Lloyd Wright referred to light as 'the beautifier'. Light enhances. Its purpose is to compliment, not compete with the architecture.
NightscapingŪ offers the design tools to accomplish what the evening has to offer; light for safety, security, traverse and aesthetics. It enhances and does not compete.
