Landscape uplights, pathway lighting, security floods, and patio ambiance — professionally installed and integrated into your smart home. Lights that respond to sunset, seasons, and security events automatically.
Plug-in outdoor timers do one thing: on at a time, off at a time. Smart outdoor lighting does everything else: on at sunset (which changes every day), off at sunrise, dim for ambiance in the evening, full brightness when motion triggers the security camera, shut off when you leave for vacation. And because it's integrated with your smart home, the same app that controls your climate and security also controls the lights wrapping your entire property.
We plan outdoor lighting as a complete system — not individual fixtures. Each zone serves a purpose, and all of them respond to the same automations.
Low-voltage LED uplights placed at the base of trees, shrubs, and architectural features. Casts dramatic shadows, defines your property at night, and adds significant curb appeal. Color-changing RGBW options available for seasonal accent colors. Wired to a smart transformer with app and schedule control.
Curb AppealGround-level fixtures along driveways, walkways, and steps. Prevents trips, guides guests, and outlines the property cleanly. Stake-style for garden beds, in-ground for hardscape. Low-voltage LED — energy-efficient and long-lasting. Runs on the same transformer as landscape lighting.
Safety + StyleHigh-output LED flood lights at driveway entry, garage, and rear of property. Triggered by motion, by security camera alerts, or by alarm events. Integrated with your security system so they respond to what's actually happening — not just any passing deer. Full brightness on motion, ambient dim at night.
SecuritySconces, downlights, and soffit lighting at your front entry and garage. Welcoming when you arrive, bright when someone approaches at night. Smart dimming lets you set a lower evening level and ramp to full brightness on motion or arrival. Syncs with your smart lock — unlock the door, lights turn on.
EntrywayString lights, recessed deck lighting, and under-rail LED strips controlled by your smart home. One scene for entertaining — full brightness and warm color. Another for relaxed evenings — dimmed amber. Syncs with your outdoor speaker system and links to your "entertaining" scene so everything activates at once.
AmbianceRGBW landscape and eave lights that change color for seasons and holidays. Orange for October, warm white for winter, red and blue for July. Color-changing eave lights (Govee Permanent Outdoor Lights) replace holiday installs entirely. Controlled by schedule or a single app tap.
SeasonalThese are the automations we set up by default. Everything is customizable — we walk through your preferences during installation.
Adjusts daily for actual local sunset time — no manual resets. Landscape uplights and pathway lights come on at the right time year-round.
Or set a specific time if you prefer lights off at 11pm rather than dawn. Energy-efficient default — lights only run when they're needed.
Security camera detects motion, flood lights go full. Lights return to dim ambient level after a configurable timeout. Can filter by zone or camera.
Phone enters home geofence → entry lights activate. Paired with smart lock, lights turn on as the door unlocks. Dark arrival, no fumbling.
Activate your entertaining scene and the patio lights set to a warm amber dim. Outdoor speakers turn on. Security floods drop to ambient. One tap.
Simulate occupancy when you're away. Porch and entry lights turn on and off at varied times. Gives the appearance of someone home from the street.

Smart outdoor lighting is professionally installed exterior lighting — landscape uplights, pathway lights, security flood lights, patio string lights, and step lights — that are controlled through your smart home system. Lights activate automatically at sunset, turn off at sunrise, respond to motion, adjust for seasons, and integrate with your security system. Unlike timer-based outdoor lights, smart outdoor lighting adapts in real time and integrates with the rest of your home.
Yes — and this is one of the most valuable integrations. When a security camera detects motion, flood lights can activate instantly. When the alarm is triggered, all exterior lights go to full brightness. When you arrive home after dark, pathway and entry lights turn on automatically. These integrations require both the outdoor lights and the security system to be on the same smart home platform, which is exactly what we configure.
We install VOLT Lighting and Kichler for professional low-voltage landscape systems, Lutron Caseta for outdoor dimmer control, Ring and Arlo for smart security floods, and Govee Permanent Outdoor Lights for color-changing eave lighting (replaces holiday installs). The right brand depends on your goals — landscape aesthetics, security, seasonal color, or all three. We match the system to your smart home platform.
Low-voltage landscape lighting (uplights, pathway lights) runs on a transformer connected to a standard outdoor outlet. The transformer itself can be smart-enabled or connected to a smart outlet for remote and schedule control. Security flood lights typically connect to existing outdoor electrical boxes. We assess your current outdoor outlets and wiring, identify what can be integrated without new electrical work, and flag anything that needs an electrician.
Yes. Once integrated into your smart home platform, outdoor lights are controllable by voice (Alexa, Google, Siri), from your phone anywhere, or fully automatically. Common automations: on at sunset, off at sunrise, security floods triggered by motion, patio lights activated by an “entertaining” scene, and lights off when you leave home. You can dim landscape lights for evenings and set full brightness for security events.
A starter outdoor lighting package (smart transformer + 4–6 pathway/stake lights + entry accent + integration) runs $800–$2,200.
