Dazzle Customers with the Right Ambiance for Your Dining Patios and Decks

Lighting plays a significant role in the overall feel of your customers’ dining experience. The atmosphere that you create is just as important as the food you prepare and the service you provide, whether you’re serving casual entrées or three-course meals.

Particularly on warm summer evenings, your customers likely want to enjoy their meals outside on dining patios and decks. As a restaurant owner, you shouldn’t assume nice weather and delicious entrées alone will attract customers and keep them coming back. With the right lighting design, you can dazzle patrons and onlookers from afar.

ENHANCING AESTHETICS 

Outdoor lighting can breathe life into your property, transforming it into a captivating sight, even during the darkest hours. By utilizing home automation, you can effortlessly adjust the intensity, color, and even the patterns of your outdoor lighting, creating a dynamic and visually stunning atmosphere. 

INCREASED SAFETY AND SECURITY 

A well-lit exterior serves as a powerful deterrent against potential intruders. Home automation provides the means to intelligently manage your outdoor lighting, ensuring your home remains safe and secure in the ways that suit you.

With programmable schedules, motion sensors, and remote access, you can create an impression of an occupied home, even when you're away. Smart outdoor lighting can automatically turn on when someone approaches your property, providing security and peace of mind. 

EXTENDED LIVING SPACES

Your outdoor areas deserve attention and care just as much as your indoor spaces. By utilizing outdoor lighting in conjunction with home automation, you can seamlessly extend your square footage beyond the four walls of your house.

An Extension of Your Home

Today, many families are extending their kitchen and entertainment areas right out the back door, creating a seamless transition between interior and exterior living. In these spaces, the lighting design reflects the home’s aesthetics, enhancing the sense of a home without boundaries.

Inspired Lighting 

Depending on the desired impression, our team incorporates varying design elements that make your space come alive at night. Some of the many possibilities include landscape lighting that looks like fireflies flickering through the shrubbery. A magical and mysterious mood is created with tree lights set high in branches, filtering soft lighting through the leaves and casting an aura of moonlight. 

Tiki torches poolside set a festive, tropical retreat mood, while bullet lights accentuate your home’s best architectural elements and highlight water features. Private gardens, sitting ponds, intimate seating, and meditation spaces are defined with soft illumination from an unseen source. Well-lighting accents trees, plants, and shrubs, while step, pathway, niche, and lip lights illuminate walkways, paths, and decking. The right lighting adds dimension, intrigue, and a safe passage for your guests.
