Hey there, fellow landscape enthusiasts! Are you ready to turn your outdoor space into a captivating oasis that'll make your neighbors green with envy? At Let It Glow Illumination, we've had the pleasure of illuminating countless landscapes in Bentonville, Arkansas, and we're here to spill the beans on the age-old question: How many LED lights does your home really need?

Getting to Know Your Outdoor Landscape

Picture this: a warm summer evening, fireflies dancing in the distance, and your backyard transformed into a magical wonderland with the perfect blend of light and shadow. Before we dive into the nitty-gritty of LED lighting, let's take a stroll through your landscape. From the majestic trees lining your driveway to the cozy seating areas begging for a touch of illumination, every corner has a story to tell.

The Bentonville Glow-Up

We've had the pleasure of working on some truly remarkable projects right here in our hometown. Take, for instance, this backyard oasis. Nestled in the heart of Northwest Arkansas, their once-dark patio is now the go-to spot for family gatherings and late-night chats under the stars, thanks to strategically placed LED lights that highlight their lush landscaping and cozy fire pit.

Crunching the Numbers

So how do you determine the perfect number of LED lights for your abode? Sure, there are rules of thumb like the "10% Rule," but we prefer a more personalized approach. Each lighting project requires a custom lighting plan that showcases the gardens and elegant architecture of a home. By dividing landscapes into zones and tailoring the lighting to fit each area's unique characteristics, we are able to create a breathtaking ambiance that wows home-owners and guests.

Path lights, for example, are typically spaced 8 to 10 feet apart. When designing a lighting system, small details such as staggering path lights on each side of the walkway creates a smoother finish and avoids the runway look.

Up lights and wall wash lights are often placed under areas of architecture. For example, a home with several pillars on the front exterior will require one up-light for each pillar.

Beam spread, which is the angle of light emitting from a fixture will also influence how many fixtures are required. Larger beam spread fixtures can be installed further apart and still maintain an even illumination. Wider beam spread can also help to reduce unsightly hot spots when light is too focused on one particular area.

Modern color changing LED strip lights are becoming more popular and can be installed in pools and under roof fascia. These continual strip lights contain hundreds of small LED lights and blanket an area in a seamless light wash.
