Will LED lighting be brighter or harsher than my current lights?
Quick Answer
Not at all—we use LED fixtures that can be dialed to the same or softer glow than your current bulbs. Our designers match color temperature, wattage and beam spread so you enjoy crisp, comfortable light without the harsh glare.
Detailed Answer
When LED outdoor lights feel too bright or harsh, the color, output or aim is usually wrong for the space. Our lighting designers set all three for each part of your property, so new LEDs can match your current lights or go softer, with more light only where you want it.
1. Color temperature – Most residential jobs use warm 2,700–3,000 K lamps that mimic incandescent glow. Cooler 4,000 K options are reserved for driveways or security lighting. See our warm-vs-cool LED guide to learn more.
2. Lumen output – With LED landscape lights, wattage won’t tell you whether a fixture will look too bright, so we choose the precise lumens for each tree, façade or path. Our color-changing fixtures come with a handheld remote that lets you raise the light for parties or soften it for quiet evenings.
3. Optics and shielding – Precision beam angles, glare guards and shrouds aim light onto focal points, not into eyes or windows, eliminating the stadium effect common with bare floods.
Because LEDs emit almost no infrared heat, they feel gentler than halogen bulbs even when they equal or exceed your current light levels. You also enjoy up to 80 % energy savings and an industry-leading warranty on every fixture.
