After a number of attempts that simply did not offer the desired “wow” factor, Buddy Reed and his team met Outdoor Lighting Perspectives at the Association of Independent Hospitality Professionals (AIHP) annual conference, The Summit. Innkeeper Selena Einwechter wanted to highlight her beautiful property after dark as well as ensure guests could safely and comfortably navigate around the exterior of her B&B including the paths that lead from the main structure to suites located in adjacent buildings. While solar lighting was inexpensive, the results were underwhelming, and the fixtures did not stand the test of time. Our design plan featured LED fixtures along the façade, the drive, the entrance sign, and along several pathways. Towering trees were illuminated down a path leading to a private beach. Additionally, string lighting was also used to warmly illuminate an outdoor seating area that would have otherwise gone unused during the evening hours. Our design plan illuminated the entire façade and guest room dormers, as well as a stunning seating area now bathed in warm, energy-efficient illumination. Garden buildings, structures and trees were also highlighted to add depth and character whereas before they simply vanished into the night.
