CALIBER SERVICES: LANDSCAPE LIGHTING & AUDIO
WHY YOU SHOULD GET THE REAL DEAL
Audi and Geo: a Case Study
Comparing quality differences between professional-grade landscape lighting systems and lighting systems available at the box stores is kind of like comparing an Audi to a Geo Metro. Both get you from point A to point B (hopefully, unless there is a steep hill!), but beyond that...not a lot of comparison.
The same is true with landscape lighting. Will the systems from box stores cast light? Yes. Will they allow you to direct and control the lighting? Will they last in harsh weather conditions? Will they give your home and landscape the beauty and emphasis it deserves? Probably not. |

Landscape lighting and cars?
Wait, why did we just do that?
Here’s the thing. You don’t have to be a mechanic or an electrical engineer or understand all the components of how a system is built to recognize quality. Most of us can easily do that with cars, but it's a harder to discern with things you may be less familiar with...like landscape lighting. The point is, if a combination of smooth ride, long life, easy use, and beautiful aesthetics is important, steer yourself away from box stores and grab a professional landscape lighting catalog. You’ll thank yourself later and for many years to come. Because more often than not, whether we're talking cars or lights, quality is the best investment of your money.
Let’s talk about the money. Audis aren’t cheap. You know that and expect to see your investment reflected in your driving experience. Obviously, the parallel we're drawing here is that installing high quality landscape lighting and outdoor audio systems is comparable to investing in the Audi. It's a bigger initial investment, BUT it will also work more efficiently, look absolutely gorgeous, and last much longer.
There you have it.

Landscape Lighting & Audio Installation is simple and clean--which translates to low labor costs and more money for great fixtures.
During new yard construction any wiring can be installed with other landscape work--it's as easy as dropping the wire in the trench with your sprinkler systems. With existing yards, lighting and audio are a huge boost to your outdoor enjoyment and entertainment without machinery or digging through your yard. Again...ease of install means low labor costs and more investment in your fixtures. Big tally in the 'pros' column! Landscape Lighting & Audio Systems are energy efficient LED technology and low voltage systems are not going to run up your electricity bill, so you can set the mood and enjoy the evening into the wee small hours of the night as late as your neighbors will tolerate it! Speaking of which.... Raise your hand if you are tech-savvy! Lighting and audio can be easily integrated to run with Smarthome systems, controlled via Wi-Fi on your phone or tablet, and play music thru bluetooth. Some lighting systems can even be customized with color and dimming options--controlled from your phone--for the perfect ambience. Like we said, party at your house! Just invite your neighbors--problem solved. |
