Landscape Lighting

Landscape lighting provides the finishing touch on a home’s exterior appearance. Well-placed exterior lighting
creates curb appeal, accentuates interesting architectural features, and can add interest and drama to a home and its
surrounding landscape when the sun goes down. PTE can create a complete home landscape lighting design or can
highlight just specific aspects of your landscape

Pool Lighting

At its most basic, lighting is necessary to make your pool area safe when the sun goes down. But why stick to just basic? A well-designed lighting plan is more than illuminating — it’s inspired! PTE can help you choose the right lighting styles and colors to create a mood and showcase your entire poolscape design.

Inspired pool lighting can extend your poolside entertaining well into the evening. By using a combination of low-profile lights around the pool’s perimeter and colorful underwater and fiber optic lights in the pool, you can provide subtle poolside illumination for minglers and a dynamic
display for swimmers. Here are some ideas for how you can light up your poolscape:

• Low-profile lights can accent paths and walkways while providing muted accent lighting.

• Spotlights can be used to draw attention to specific pool, landscape or patio features.

• Floodlights are used for general lighting around common areas.

• Motion floodlights can be added for safety.

• Up-lights highlight landscape or pool features from below.

• Fiber optic lights add colorful, whimsical drama to your pool area.

• Underwater lights make night swimming safe and can create a colorful pool environment. 

Security Lighting

Security lights are one of the most practical and effective ways to prevent crime in or around your home or office. In fact, statistics show that a well-lighted property cannot prevent malicious activity or guarantee personal safety, but crimes are less likely to occur because lighting is an excellent deterrent.

A security lighting system is a deterrent because it exposes the criminal, making them feel vulnerable and insecure. Criminals most likely look for areas with little to no lighting, for obvious reasons. Homeowners on the other hand, can benefit from a lighting security system that can detect and recognize movement in an otherwise overlooked and dark surrounding. Downward directed and shielded security lighting of medium intensity provides the best vision for outdoor lighting. In addition to the position of the security lights, controlling the glare is a major consideration. This is crucial because homeowners who can see the criminal can possibly provide authorities with descriptions, information, and other valuable clues.
