Do you have Holiday parties coming up in the near future? Do you need repair work?
It is so important to revitalize and upgrade your house lights and your landscape lights. Both are major factors in the success of upcoming Holiday Events. ILD is here to help you make efficient and cost effective repairs and upgrades to your home lighting systems. We want your
outdoor holiday lights to shine bright this year, and every year to come.
Maintaining Your Lighting Systems
When you are busy getting ready for parties and visitors, you often forget about the basics of
indoor lighting maintenance. Much of this is all due to social conditioning. We have been programmed to see lights as either working or broken, and we never think about replacing anything until it breaks.
This is not the way lights work. The luminance quality of light fixtures starts degrading long before the fixtures themselves burn out. This is particularly the way it works with art lighting fixtures, although this also occurs with a great deal of decorative lights and
outdoor garden lights.
To make certain that all of your fixtures are performing at recommended manufacturer standards, ILD will come to your home and thoroughly inspect your equipment for optimal light output. If we find a problem, we will either replace the unit or recommend an upgrade.
Troubleshooting and Repairs
If you have noticed that something appears not to be quite right with your lights, but do not know exactly what could be causing this, it is very essential that you contact Tammy at ILD and schedule a visit from our experts so that they can take a look at your lighting array. Both indoor and landscape light systems operate on the principle of building layers of lights in patterns and degrees of intensity.
When lamps begin to deteriorate in quality, the effectiveness of the entire system begins to suffer. Please save yourself the time and trouble of trying to isolate the problem. It could be something as simple as a loose wire, or something as serious and possibly unsafe like a short circuit. It is much more safe and sensible to hire an electrical contractor to do this, and to arrange for replacement parts with commercial, specification grade features that ensure superior operability and longer lamp life.
Outdoor Holiday Light Systems
If you are planning more than just a Thanksgiving dinner inside, you can also enjoy an evening outdoors. If you have invested in an outdoor kitchen or living room, you might even have some creature comforts in addition to a night under the stars.
Regardless, spicing up the yard with outdoor holiday lights is an excellent way to usher in the Christmas Season. If you have invested in a landscape lighting system from ILD, a few additions can make your Christmas Party a place where everyone wants to be this Holiday Season.
If you have not yet invested in new landscape lights, consider visiting with our outdoor lighting specialists. Our experts represent an eclectic blend of skills in electrical engineering, design, and multi-disciplinary cross-training in parallel industries that add value, unique distinction, and cost effective operability to holiday cheer and superior Houston living throughout the year.
As most of you have already realized, the 2009 Holiday Season is rapidly approaching us all. Many of us, in lieu of current economic considerations, already have made up our minds to consolidate our entertainment expenses by hosting parties at home. If you share this viewpoint, now is the time to consider a investing in lighting repair work.

Recently, I met with a couple who had just moved to Houston from Southern California. They had moved into a very nice neighborhood with a large home, on a large lot, that had extensive landscaping. They had found our name in the phone book and were entertaining bids from several companies for
LANDSCAPE LIGHTING. During the course of my conversation, she asked me a simple question. "What makes your company so special and how do you differ from other landscape lighting companies"? Here is what I told the clients that day ......
Illuminations Lighting Design is a 30 year old company with some of the best lighting designers, technicians and electrician's money can buy. Our client base includes some of the finest and most recognizable names in Texas and across the country. We are known as the guys who do it right!
We evolved into a full service lighting company that does not only landscape lighting but, residential and
commercial lighting projects,
home automation designs,
home theaters,
lighting control systems,
fine art lighting,
antique cabinet lighting and whole house
transient voltage protection. Not only can we design these systems, but install, service and maintain these and other lighting and electrical systems. Illuminations has a war chest of talent like no other company of its size. Specialists, each in their respective fields focus on certain aspects of the project so that no detail is overlooked. As a team, Illuminations Lighting Design can create a total solution.
When Illuminations Design is on a project, we take into consideration not only your exterior lighting, but how that intertwines with your interior lighting design, to provide a total lighting solution. Like music, lighting sets the mood. Not ever home has this harmony, and we are specialists at transforming any home into a lighting masterpiece.
Other landscape lighting companies generally focus on one aspect and cannot attend to any lighting need you may have. So whether you need a plug added in the house, a light for a new painting, surge protection to protect your whole house, a home theater or whole house sound system, you can count on Illuminations Lighting Design to handle those requests.
It was shortly after that meeting, that my proposal was accepted and the work was completed. Here is what the client told me after we were finished ......
I wanted to thank you for such a wonderful job planning and executing the lighting plan for our home and backyard. Our enjoyment of these spaces has been greatly enhanced by your expertise and recommendations. Additionally, I was very impressed by how punctual and in what a timely fashion the work was completed. It was a pleasure working with you and be assured that we will confidently recommend you and Illuminations to our friends. Thank you again.
