Find the Best Brightness and Color Temperature for Your Outdoor Spaces 

Are you ready to revamp your home’s landscape lighting? Or install a system for the first time? 

Landscape lighting has the power to dramatically enhance how your home looks and feels after dark, accentuating architectural details and landscaping. Not only is outdoor lighting visibly appealing, but with more visibility, you’ll protect your home from burglaries and accidents. 

As lighting designers and installers, we get asked many questions about landscape lighting. People are often perplexed about which lights are best for outdoor use: halogen or LED bulbs? It may seem like a low-stakes choice, but the lights you choose can dramatically affect your outdoor lighting experience (and energy use!).

4 Ways to Improve Audio Quality in Your Backyard

When you bring a speaker outside, does it sound tinny and quiet, despite how it sounds indoors? It’s time to upgrade your outdoor audio. Here’s four tips for superior audio in Oak Brook, IL.

Make Every Day a Party with High-End Outdoor Audio

Wouldn’t it be nice to enjoy your favorite songs outside with the same sound quality that you enjoy indoors? But all too often, our portable speakers can hardly reach across the lawn without requiring you to crank the volume. The sound quality on most portable speakers is tinny and thin, lacking the details that feel so powerful when you listen on indoor speakers. 

Many homeowners try to blast their garage or porch speakers in hopes that they’ll be heard at the other end of the yard. But the deafening sound is uncomfortable for anyone near the stereo and may not create as far a range as you’d hope. 

If this is your experience, it sounds like it’s time to upgrade your outdoor audio! With the right equipment and installation tactics, you can install weatherproof speakers across your lawn that deliver high-fidelity sound year-round. 

Here’s how to get the best sound in your Oak Brook, IL backyard!
