When it comes to outdoor lighting, we want to make your yard look its very best. But there are some DIY projects that are just too fun to resist. If you plan to do some outdoor entertaining this Spring or Summer, check out these six ideas for dressing up your party with lights.

Floating Tea Lights for Romance

Float tea light candles in a birdbath full of water. Choose colors and fragrances that you find appealing. For added allure, sprinkle rose petals on the top of the water before placing the floating candles.

Party Umbrellas for Fun

Cover your tables with large, colorful, party umbrellas for shade from the sun. At night, transform the umbrellas into a colorful backdrop by wrapping their edges in LED lights of every color, and dangling luminaries made from flameless candles and vibrant glass.

Mason Jar Candles for Nostalgia

Take a trip down memory lane with this old-school aesthetic. White or cream-colored candles inside clear glass mason jars make a lovely, old-fashioned light source for your family gathering.

Twig Chandelier for Serenity

You can bring the serenity of Nature into your yard by fastening a round chandelier out of twigs. You can also purchase pre-made twig wreaths at craft stores. Weave soft white LED lights throughout the twigs, and hang the chandelier from a tree branch.

Solar-Powered Paper Lanterns for Whimsy

Paper lanterns have a distinctly whimsical style, and they come in a variety of colors. Hang them in your yard, wherever children (or the young-at-heart) gather. They will begin to glow after the sun sets.

Tree Lights for Everyday Magic

All it takes is a bit of sparkle to transform a drab seating area into a magical scene. String tiny twinkle lights into your shorter trees and bushes for a subtle holiday feeling all year long.

We provide landscape lighting to suit every need. Please give us a call today so that we can make your landscaping vision a reality!

Your outdoor space is an ideal haven for relaxation and relief. By utilizing outdoor lighting, you can enjoy the outdoors twice as much as you are not limited to only being out during daytime. Outdoor lighting serves you best when it is properly kept up and maintained, and to help you make the most of your outdoor space, our team of expert lighting technicians offers a lighting maintenance program to periodically clean and service your lights.

Beautiful, well-thought out lighting is a treat, but over time, your landscape may shift, the bulbs may go out or cloud over, or you may want to update the look. Our lighting maintenance program keeps all of your lighting looking its best so you can maximize your outdoor enjoyment.

• Bulb replacement: Bright bulbs will clearly illuminate walkways and remote locations. Avoid a trip up the ladder to replace a burnt out bulb – our professional technicians are on call to handle the bulbs out of reach.
• Soak and clean all lenses: Just as an old car gets foggy headlights, your light fixtures may also develop a film. We soak each lens to ensure you reap the full benefits of the lighting you have installed.
• Bury wires and adjust fixtures: While we do our best to hide every wire during our visit, time and weather can expose these wires. Or if you have a light fixture you want to adjust, our team covers that as well.

Call us today at 817-345-3696 to start your lighting maintenance program with Majestic Outdoor Lighting! Our semi-annual check ups start as low as $300 and can be customized to your precise lighting needs.

You have probably heard the term “LED bulbs” as a lighting buzzword, but do you know the actual facts about this type of light? If you are searching for a bulb that is long lasting and energy efficient, LED bulbs might be an ideal solution. Here we overview the details of LED bulbs to help you explore the best type of bulb for your outdoor landscape lighting needs.

LEDs, or light-emitting diodes, were first engineered at General Electric in 1962. They have gradually grown to be one of the top lighting solutions in the industry, especially after a huge explosion in popularity during 2011 and 2012.

• LEDs are treasured for their efficient use of energy. Traditional incandescent bulbs release almost 90% of their energy as heat, while LEDs use this energy to produce light with very little wasted heat.
• Quality LED bulbs can have a lifespan of nearly 25,000 hours – this equates to about 3 years of 24/7 use. This is about 25 times the average life of an incandescent bulb.
• If all lighting were entirely switched to LED over the next 20 years, the U.S. alone could save up to $250 billion in energy costs and avoid creating 1,800 million metric tons of carbon waste emissions!

At night, it is a common part of many people’s routines to turn on the porch light. This is usually followed by turning it off before bed so as not to waste electricity. Unfortunately, a dark house can be an ideal spot for unwanted activity from all kinds of creatures. While outdoor lights offer excellent security, they also boost your property’s aesthetics while allowing you to work, play, and gather at night.

Security and Functionality

Outdoor lighting allows additional functionality to your property by allowing you to play, cook, work, and gather at night. Why limit yourself to only enjoying the outdoors during the day? Highlight the best features of your yard to showcase the elegance of your home, your hard work in the garden, or any other favorite features.

Outdoor lighting also offers exceptional security. Installing motion sensor lights near doors, windows, garages, and driveways will help lessen the likelihood of potential unwanted visitors and activity. If you have a pool or a water feature in your yard, highlighting it at night will keep your guests and children safe by alerting them to its presence.

You work long and hard on your garden: why let its beauty go unnoticed during the night? Garden lighting is a great way to highlight your work, even at night, and discourage unwanted critters from enjoying your garden a little too much. Here we walk through the basics of garden lighting to help your hard work look its best.

Garden lighting can take virtually any form and allows a huge range of customization to showcase precisely what you want in your garden. A soft, broad glow is excellent to illuminate your garden as a whole. More direct beams of light can draw attention to specific features in your garden.

The type of bulb used to illuminate your garden can make all the difference. LED lights are energy efficient and offer practical use outdoors. They are low cost in terms of maintenance and utility usage, so they are friendly for all budgets. LEDs are ideal for providing light in a smaller, more concentrated area, which is where reflector lights can come in and offer a large bloom of light to display your whole garden.

Since 2006, our team has been beautifying landscapes with professional lighting that offers the perfect touch to compliment your hard work outdoors. To explore outdoor lighting with a free nighttime demonstration, call our team today at 817-345-3696!

If you own a pool, you know the challenges and rewards of maintaining it year round. Why limit the beauty of your pool only to the daytime? Lighting your pool not only highlights this beautiful feature, but adds security by brightening the area to protect children and guests that may be unfamiliar with your yard.

A lighting professional will be able to showcase the strong points of your pool, whether this is in the water or in the architecture around it. A warm, well placed beam can exhibit a waterfall or hot tub, transforming a backyard space by drawing attention to its beauty and serenity. Or if your yard is often the backdrop of a party, you can opt for modern, upbeat lighting that highlights your pool in fun colors!

Pool lighting is also a security measure. You can never be too careful with children around water – a lit pool will help them avoid falling in. It will protect your guests by adding a gentle glow to outline your pool and help them navigate your yard and avoid falling in. Lighting the features around your pool will also deter burglars by eradicating dark places for them to take cover.

A water feature is a beautiful addition to any yard space. But why only limit yourself to enjoying its elegance in the daylight? Lighting your pond, fountain, or other water feature can help highlight this attractive piece to add appeal to your home or other property. Here we discuss several of the benefits of lighting water features.

Ponds, fountains, and other water pieces are typically lit from outside the feature or from lights submerged in the water. Using external lights to spotlight certain aspects of a pond or fountain can tie in this piece to the rest of your landscaping and accent its elegance. Using lights that are submerged in the water itself allows your feature to take on a gentle glow that illuminates the whole body of water. The size and type of bulbs can help you customize your pond or fountain to be exactly what you envision. Now, with changeable lenses and shades, the temperature and even the color of your lighting can be customized as well!

Customizing Your Lighting

Trust the professionals at Majestic Outdoor Lighting to help you navigate the many styles of water feature lighting to give your pond or fountain an ideal lighting arrangement to complement your landscape and budget. Call our team today at 817-345-3696!

Investment in Safety

If you are considering the installation of security lights for your home in the DFW area, consider the wide array of benefits you will gain from doing so. This upfront investment is truly an investment in you and your loved ones’ safety. Talk to us to learn more about how to best implement security lighting on your property.

1. Clearing the Shadows

One of the most obvious benefits of security lighting is that it rids your property of dark shadows where intruders or troublemakers can hide. With clear visibility of your property at night you have not only the security of knowing you can see anyone on your property, but it also alerts any potential intruder to the fact that they have no place to hide.

2. Neighborhood Watch

If you live in a community then having security lighting installed ensures that not only can you watch out over your property, but so can your neighbors. They will easily be able to see someone lurking on your grounds and can give you a quick call to alert you of trouble.

3. Increased Property Value

Security lighting is just one more feature that will help your property stand out if you ever consider selling. This upfront investment will increase the value of your property.

4. Decrease the Critters

If you have small critters like skunks and raccoons frequenting your property, security lighting can be a great deterrent. Motion sensors can scare off these wandering pests and keep your property clear of night time prowlers.

5. Aesthetically Pleasing

When you hire Majestic Outdoor Lighting to assist you with installing security lighting you can also count on us for implementing an aesthetically pleasing system. Your security lights can be used to help create a beautiful outdoor living space that is usable night or day.
