Residential Community Lighting & Outdoor Lights
An increasingly large number of residential communities are more like cities unto themselves. They have their own security patrols, restaurants, country clubs, and shopping malls. Many have their own schools as well. As such, the many amenities included in such a residential community is paid for mostly by the homeowner associations that govern the neighborhood. Since most are technically unincorporated, the municipality in which they reside typically provides rudimentary street lighting. All other areas within a residential community, however, will require architectural outdoor lighting systems that are custom designed and privately funded to ensure that public areas are both safe and aesthetically pleasing.Perhaps the best example of this is the residential community center that you normally find at the heart of such a neighborhood. The community center is usually more than a single building. It consists of a number of facilities grouped together. Everything from public meetings, administration, special events, and after-school programs are held at residential community centers. Lighting these areas effectively requires an advanced understanding of interior and exterior architecture, along with the most energy efficient fixtures available in the commercial lighting marketplace. Superior optical design is also necessary to guarantee compliance with dark sky regulations that limit light pollution. Planning committees serve themselves best when they invest in the best equipment and lighting designs services up front. It only costs more money down the line to have to replace inferior fixtures which burn out unexpectedly or that fail to remain in compliance with new legislation.
Most residential communities know a lighting or electrical contractor services provider who has all the necessary skills to install this type of equipment. However, many independent contractors working on a limited local scale often lack an extensive vendor network. They may only carry lighting fixtures from two or three major manufacturers, and as such can offer only a limited amount of options to a community.
One the other hand, a residential lighting and design firm like ILD will typically represent dozens of world-class US manufacturers. This allows access to literally thousands of luminaires and gives residential communities a full set of options to consider. Residential landscape lighting systems can be highly customized to any building or landscape as a result, and cost-savings can be built into the proposal by locating the fixtures that offer the best distribution of light with the lowest possible power consumption that today’s technology will allow.
Planning committees can actually participate in designing and planning their outdoor lighting, parking lot lighting and indoor lighting systems when they work with a professional firm that will itemize the features, advantages, benefits, and cost of each piece of equipment proposed in the system.
This goes hand in hand with the evolution of residential communities continue to evolve into self-contained spheres of living space, open space, and public space. As neighborhoods become more autonomous and introspective, the importance of both safety and aesthetics in community lighting systems increases proportionally. Working with a company like Illuminations Lighting and Design offers private subdivisions and custom home developments the opportunity to create a world of light within their neighborhood that meets their community needs on a highly personalized level and speaks directly to the values and the lifestyles of its residents.
