Moonlight Landscape Lighting - Orlando, Florida - 30 Years of Professional Landscape Lighting Design, Installation, and Repair Services.
Our Products...
Moonlight carries professional landscape lighting products from many different manufacturers...
We carry lines from Alliance, Garden Light, Hadco, Kichler, Kim, MilSpec, Unique, and Ushio just to name a few. We have also sold and installed many special order/custom made or “architect specified” systems from companies like B-K, Bronzelite, Winona, and others. With our long lasting ties in the lighting business, we can get just about anything you may need or want.
We carry L.E.D. as well as conventional halogen landscape lighting fixtures...
We are happy to discuss all the advantages and disadvantages of each. As with normal fixtures, LED fixtures vary dramatically in both fixture quality and application. All LED products are NOT the same. We still install more traditional fixtures than LED due to the cost vs. savings but LED is becoming more and more popular among our customers. Due to the similar results of our high end LED fixtures, we can also mix and match with traditional for the best overall value. For example, our LED deck lights are only $25-$50 more per fixture than our conventional version.
When GREEN is your thing...
There is no question that the professional landscape lighting industry is shifting towards L.E.D. lighting solutions. Professional L.E.D. fixtures consume as 40% - 80% less energy as conventional halogen fixtures. The lighting elements in L.E.D. fixtures can last as long as 50,000 hours (17 years at 8 hours per day) resulting in no lamp changing for entire life of the fixture. Professional L.E.D. fixtures often carry better warranties than their similarly designed halogen option. Our most used LED fixtures carry a 15 year warranty versus a 5 year warranty from the same manufacturer’s halogen version. Considering the price of lamps, service calls, and warranty, many now see the value of LED. We now offer a hybrid solution as well: a traditional halogen fixture with an LED upgrade module. This hybrid actually costs less than many of our LED fixtures with the same energy savings and long lasting "lamp."
Below is an example of just how different LED fixtures' output can be...
(shown on a smooth wall and brick wall)
The left is a conventional halogen fixture and bulb, the middle is our high end
LED fixture, the right is a common LED fixture. As you can tell, the light on the
right is much dimmer and has less spread and very blue. Traditionally, lighting
is a warm amber color not blue, gray, or green.
How Solar powered lights compare to traditional landscape lights ...
Solar powered products are becoming more and more popular due to the promise of simplicity and energy savings. The idea is very enticing, but the results are usually way below expectations. Solar powered path lights often look like an airport runway instead of lighting the path itself. Solar powered accent lights simply do not have enough output to properly light a tree or wash an architectural feature. We have access to thousands of products but we have not yet found any solar products that are on par with our conventional low voltage professional products. Here are some of the advantages and disadvantages to most current solar lighting products…
Advantages: Disadvantages:
+ Easy to install - Very little light output
+ Uses no electricity - Fixture often becomes the focal point
+ Inexpensive - Lack of lighting flexibility – can’t change brightness or spread
- Blue or green tint lighting, not warm hue like traditional
- Inferior build quality to keep price low
If you were interested in solar landscape lighting because you wanted to save energy, our LED fixtures may be a better solution...
Although conventional landscape lighting systems actually use much less energy than most assume, LED systems use much less. Landscape lighting systems use a transformer that reduces 120v down to 12v to power the fixtures. An average system can cost less than $1 per day to run. Our LED fixtures use 40-80% less than that. You can also mix and match depending on fixture costs and application. Imagine creating a beautiful outdoor lighting atmosphere every night for as low as $5-$10 per month in energy costs.
If you were interested in solar landscape lighting because you wanted to install it yourself, our DIY product sales may be a better solution...
We respect the DIY homeowner and offer most of our products to retail customers without installation. Installing the entire system yourself could save you 50% off of our standard installed pricing. We will work with you as much as you need to help you design and/or install your new system. For a few hundred dollars, we will even come to your residence, walk the property, and create a lighting installation plan specifying every detail with your input. We can even install everything and leave burying the wire to you to save you up to 20% off our normal installed prices.
Below is a comparison of a typical higher quality solar landscape light versus one of our professional path lights...
As you can see the solar light (left) illuminates as a marker whereas our path lights (right) actually light an area below the top of the fixture. Our fixtures will illuminate a 10 foot diameter so you do not need near as many installed as you would need installing solar or Malibu style fixtures. We can also get custom lengths manufactured for steps, flower beds, address plaques, or in this case: an alarm company sign and a walkway.
The idea behind professional lighting is simple –
the focus should be on an area or specimen not the fixture itself.
