Stunning, Functional, and Safe: Today’s Outdoor Lighting Design
Transforming a Home’s Exterior with Smart Technology
Do you remember when outdoor lighting consisted of floodlights that woke you and disturbed the neighbors every time a raccoon wandered by? A glaring white light illuminated your porch, causing your guests to squint when they walked up to your front door. Landscape lights were bright, obtrusive, and visible.
Times have definitely changed.
Today’s outdoor lighting design enhances safety, security, and functionality while elevating the aesthetics and beauty of your home and landscape. It offers a way to see in the dark and feel protected while creating welcoming outdoor spaces.
Let’s discover how this incredible lighting is turning outdoor areas into a secure and safe oasis after dark in New Orleans, LA.

Safety & Security Made Beautiful
Today’s security lighting blends in seamlessly with your outdoor spaces. These lights can adjust from a warm white to a daylight setting, ensuring that your home doesn’t waste energy and looks good 24/7.
Smart motion sensors notify these lights to brighten when movement is detected. Because they’re smart, they only increase their intensity and flash when a suspicious person approaches, rather than brightening whenever a neighborhood cat passes by.
The Layered Lighting Approach
As outdoor lighting became part of a home’s design, manufacturers heeded the call to beautify outdoor spaces while enhancing their safety through both elegant and nearly invisible fixtures. These fixtures enable our lighting design and automation experts at Campo Better Living to create layers of light that add depth, dimension, and ambiance.
Ambient light provides overall illumination that fills the night with a soft, warm, welcoming glow. It sets the mood defined by the activity or setting. One of our clients' favorite forms of ambient light comes from hanging tree lights that mimic the beauty of moonlight.
Accent lighting creates visual interest, highlighting trees, water features, and favored architectural elements. These fixtures are often hidden from view, producing light that comes from an unseen source.
Task lighting includes fixtures that support ongoing activity, whether cooking, reading, walking down stairs or traveling along a garden pathway. The latest pathway lights come in numerous forms, significantly enhancing your home’s overall aesthetics and charm while elevating safety.
With the right lighting design, a once ordinary outdoor space transforms into an enchanting retreat that’s safe, secure, and energy-conscious.
Smart Lighting by Design
Outdoor lighting has transitioned from simple and functional to breathtakingly beautiful, technology-driven smart systems. These lighting systems are specifically designed for the various activities that occur in your outdoor spaces. Pressing a button or stating a voice command changes the light to create the ideal setting, whether relaxing, hosting an extravagant outdoor dinner party, or playing with the kids in the pool.
Sustainable, Beautiful, & Functional
Today’s outdoor lighting uses advanced LED illumination to elevate a home’s exterior in remarkable ways. These lights are incredibly energy efficient, using about 75% less energy than incandescent bulbs and lasting 25 times longer.
Tunable, full-spectrum lighting also lets you choose between lighting that can transform into a million different colors with the touch of a button or lighting that ranges from the soft golden glow of candlelight to the bright intensity of the sun.
