What landscape lighting can do for your home!  The key is 'enhancing'!  BLOG

The biggest mistake on outdoor lighting is making 'runway lighting' and 'glare bombs'.  Rosie explains this and how the process of installation starts by laying out the wiring and lighting to see how it looks before trenching/burying the wiring.

Why misting system companies are in demand thanks to the lack of the monsoon.  Misting with soft water is the best.

Segment 2 (running time )

Listen to this segment

A misting system is not something you buy and connect to your hose bib due to water pressure.  A regulator at the front of the home is recommended.  Its a water waster, messy compared to a professional system.

Discussion of security lighting using motion detectors for safer walkways.  Plus light bulbs with a dusk to dawn detector.  Easy, do it yourself.

Keep in mind to be respectful of your neighbors when security lighting your home space.  Low voltage LED lights are a good solution.  And careful with your uplighting in dark sky community areas.

Rosie's feelings got hurt when he wasn't mentioned in an article on supercooling.  Get on the right electric plan and use off peak hours!
