Elegant Custom Images - Commercial Outdoor Lighting, Orlando, FL
We’ll account for all your objectives when designing and installing your commercial outdoor lighting.
There are several reasons why you would want to consider commercial outdoor lighting for your Orlando, Florida business. At Elegant Custom Images, we understand that falling short on any of your objectives means the project isn’t to your complete satisfaction. That is why we take the time to learn about what you want to achieve with either your new commercial outdoor lighting or upgrades to what you currently have.
Aesthetics is often one of the main objectives so that your company is visible during the evening hours to increase awareness of anyone driving past. By capturing your building’s distinctive features with the perfect balance of illumination and shadow, we can create a stunning vision that will draw attention and encourage potential customers to stop by during business hours.
Security is another objective for commercial outdoor lighting. Since criminals are more likely to target a building cloaked in darkness, adding sufficient light to your building makes it less attractive. That also means any staff members who work past dusk will be at less risk and so will your evening cleaning and maintenance personnel.
Safety is another factor we can take into consideration when designing your commercial outdoor lighting. If you have people coming and going after the sun has set, it is important to provide a lit pathway to reduce tripping and injuries. Without appropriate lighting, you could be held liable for any accidents.
If you would like to discuss commercial outdoor lighting for your business or outdoor lighting for your home, don’t hesitate to reach out to us. We look forward to showing you the benefits of working with a leading design, installation, and maintenance provider for your outdoor lighting needs.

Landscape Lighting Fixtures
Elegant Custom Images carries a variety of landscape lighting fixtures to suit your needs, depending on your budget and style preferences. Our Heavy Cast Brass lighting fixtures are top of the line in terms of both quality and durability. We get our solid brass fixtures from a manufacturer that has years of experience, and is well known as an industry leader in landscape lighting fixtures. Milled Brass fixtures are another option for your landscape lighting needs. These fixtures are second to none in terms of quality, with a price tag that falls midway between the cheapest and most expensive lighting fixtures. Milled brass fixtures are heavy duty and come with a full 25-year warranty. Some landscape lighting firms promote low-cost aluminum lighting fixtures. But, there’s a big trade-off when it comes to durability, particularly in Florida. Aluminum fixtures may be cheaper than brass, but they don’t fare well in our heat and humidity. They rust and corrode prematurely. Powder coated products fade quickly too. And most take a lesser wattage bulb as a maximum size, compared to other metal fixtures. Aluminum lighting fixtures are also more susceptible to damage from landscapers. These fixtures typically don’t last more than 2-3 years, compared to brass, which will last for decades. Investing a little more today in a brass fixture will pay dividends for years to come.
Transformers
We use only stainless steel, 25-year transformers. The cores have been wrapped in silicone to prevent corrosion here in Florida. The products are very good quality and have capacities ranging from 300 watts to 1500 watts. The transformers all are multi-tapped, which enable us to design a landscape lighting system that has the exact voltage requirements at every location on your property. This is an important piece as the bulbs are halogen gas bulbs. They require heat to light the bulb. Voltage provides the heat. If the voltage is too high or low, then the bulbs will burn at a faster rate. Too high on the voltage very well could destroy the lighting fixture on top of everything else. So the proper amount of voltage is an absolute must. They all have multiple commons, which allow us to spread the amp loads out across the transformer and keep the system running as cool as possible.Remember, the cooler things run, the longer they last!
Lighting Wire
On all home runs, we use nothing but high quality 12 gauge wire, all UL approved, underground burial wire. The lighting wire is guaranteed for the life of the system.
Landscape Lighting Bulbs
We use 75,000 hour rated LED lights in our outdoor landscape lighting fixtures. The LED’s come in various colors such as warm white (most commonly used), standard white and cool white. When the landscape lighting system is designed correctly, with the proper voltage maintained at each fixture, then the system will run a very long time.
Connections
At Elegant Custom Images, we solder all of our connections at the hubs, so the wiring cannot pull apart; we include brass crimping and place the connections in long, heavy duty grease tubes, and then place them in a main hub. In this way, we can certify that the connections will stay waterproof and have good connectivity. The tubes also keep the connection steady, which is so important in Florida. If a contractor uses wire nuts or clamp type connections, the integrity of the landscape lighting system will be compromised as the life span is shortened considerably.
