This is where you need some professional help.  Sure, almost anyone can plug in a string of lights, but when it comes to the planning of an outdoor lighting scheme, getting some help with the placement, not only for the best dramatic effect but for the safety of your guests and your family goes a very long way.

Starting with the distribution of power, professional lighting designers are going to make sure that your lightscapes are properly energized and wired correctly.  These requirements will show in your plan, which can be properly permitted without much cost - and having permits and inspections for outdoor lighting can mean avoiding a fire or other hazard.

Designers also have the experience to choose the best fixtures and use them in the most dramatic and flattering ways.  Getting their help can boost every occasion you host and using lightscapes effectively can make your parties the hit of the block.
