Smart Dimming for Landscape Lighting
Dimming gives you precise control over how your property looks at night. Full brightness for entertaining, stepped down for ambiance, reduced after midnight — all programmed and automatic.
One operator. Same person designs, installs, and maintains your system. Not a subcontractor.
Custom design. Every plan is sketched on-site for your specific property.
Clean installs. Buried cable, hidden transformers, no exposed wiring.
What We Configure for Dimming
- Per-zone brightness percentage — front at 100%, pathway at 50%, garden at 70%
- Scheduled step-down — full brightness at sunset, stepping to 30% after midnight automatically
- Scene-based dimming levels — different brightness for everyday, entertaining, and security modes
- Manual dimmer slider in the app for real-time adjustments without changing the schedule
- Proper dimming curves for RGBW fixtures to preserve color quality at lower output levels
Dimming and Energy Savings
Running every zone at 100% all night is rarely necessary. A front yard at full brightness from sunset to midnight, then stepped to 40% until sunrise, uses significantly less energy without meaningfully reducing the security or appearance benefit. We program step-down schedules as a standard part of smart dimming setup — it extends fixture life and reduces electricity use without any loss of the look you want during peak hours.
Florida has wildlife-friendly lighting ordinances in several coastal areas, requiring reduced intensity and warmer color temperatures during sea turtle nesting season. Smart dimming makes it easy to program season-specific output levels for beach-adjacent properties without permanent fixture changes — a single scene adjustment handles compliance for the season.
