Outdoor Accent Lighting Installation

At Astoria Lighting Co, we design and install professional outdoor lighting systems that transform your home’s appearance, safety, and value, from permanent holiday lights to landscape lighting and beyond

What is Outdoor Accent Lighting?

Outdoor accent lighting is decorative lighting designed to highlight, emphasize, or draw attention to specific features of your home and landscape. Unlike general illumination that simply makes areas visible, accent lighting creates visual interest by making certain elements stand out dramatically against their surroundings. Think of the difference between a room with the overhead lights on versus a room with carefully placed spotlights highlighting artwork. Accent lighting transforms your property into a nighttime showcase, emphasizing the features you are most proud of while creating depth, drama, and visual interest throughout your outdoor space.

Accent Technique

Uplighting Techniques

Uplighting is the most dramatic accent lighting technique — fixtures at ground level aimed upward create an immediately eye-catching, almost theatrical presentation.

Best Applications

🌳 Trees — Reveals trunk texture and branch structure

🏛 Columns — Emphasizes vertical elements

🧱 Textured Walls — Highlights stone and brick

🏠 Chimneys — Creates towering focal points

Placement Matters

The key to effective uplighting is proper fixture placement and aiming — the difference between dramatic and overdone.

✕ Too close — creates harsh shadows

✕ Too far — diminishes the effect

✓ Just right — perfect drama & elegance

We rarely see things lit from below in nature — that’s why uplighting creates such a striking, memorable effect. We position every fixture to achieve the perfect balance for your specific features.

Accent Technique

Wall Washing & Grazing

Two techniques for illuminating vertical surfaces — each creates a very different effect depending on your wall material and goals.

Wall Washing

Even & Uniform

Fixtures placed far from the wall cast even, uniform light across the entire surface.

✓ Smooth stucco

✓ Painted surfaces

✓ General illumination

Most Dramatic

Grazing

Textured & Bold

Fixtures placed very close to the wall at a sharp angle emphasize every bump, ridge, and texture.

✓ Natural stone

✓ Brick facades

✓ Textured stucco

Choosing the right technique depends on your wall material and the effect you want. We assess your surfaces during a free consultation and recommend the approach that showcases them best.

Advanced Techniques

Silhouette & Shadow Lighting

Beyond uplighting and wall washing, these techniques create unique, artistic effects that elevate your landscape design.

Silhouette Lighting

Light behind the object

Illuminates the background, leaving the object as a striking dark shape.

Perfect for interesting plant shapes or sculptures against a wall.

Shadow Lighting

Light in front of the object

Casts artistic shadow patterns onto a wall behind the object.

Beautiful with plants, trellises, or decorative elements.

Moonlighting

Light from above, in trees

Simulates natural moonlight filtering through branches for a dappled effect.

Subtle and romantic — ideal for dining areas or seating under trees.

The most stunning landscape designs layer multiple techniques — combining uplighting, silhouettes, shadows, and moonlighting for depth and artistry that transforms your property after dark.

Feature Lighting

Accent Lighting for Landscape Features

Your landscape features deserve the same attention as architecture. The key is choosing which features deserve emphasis rather than lighting everything equally.

Mature Trees

Often your most valuable asset — uplighting transforms them into dramatic nighttime focal points.

Specimen Plants & Grasses

Individual accent lights showcase ornamental plants and sculptures after dark.

Water Features

Come alive when illuminated from within or spotlit from outside — mesmerizing reflections.

Hardscape Elements

Retaining walls, boulders, and decorative stonework gain dimension when properly lit.

Garden Beds

Subtle accent lighting extends your garden’s visual impact into the evening hours.

Garden Sculptures

Individual accent lights turn statues and art pieces into captivating nighttime features.

Great accent lighting is about selective emphasis — not lighting everything equally, but choosing the features that create the most impact and letting the rest fade naturally into the background.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Are the lights replaceable?

Yes. Each light is an individual unit and attaches to the other lights via weatherproof, threaded caps, so they are easily unscrewed, pulled out, and replaced.

Can the lights provide true warm white?

Yes, as low as 2700K. It is true that other products on the market in the Permanent Christmas Lighting space do not offer a true warm white. The LED must be RGB-WW and have a yellow “diode” to allow for true warm white–which ours do!

How do payments work?

We collect 25% down and then order your materials. The balance is due at installation by check, cash, card, or through our 3rd party financing partner. We make it as easy as possible for your budget!

How much electricity does it use?

The lights on full bright white use less than one watt of power. It’s little enough that you won’t notice a difference in your electricity usage.

Is it designed for extreme temperatures?

Yes! Each light and connection has an IP 68 Waterproof rating and can operate at -40° F to 130°+F. All connections and wires are UV rated and will be able to last if ever exposed to long periods of sunlight (which they will not be as they are installed under the roofline). The track is made out of aluminum which is durable and won’t rust or degrade–the same material your gutters are made from.

What is the warranty?

Astoria Lighting Co provides a Lifetime Warranty on all permanent holiday light bulbs included in your system. Additionally, we offer a 10-year “bumper-to-bumper” warranty on all installed parts, plus a 3-year service warranty on labor.

What is the cost per foot?

At Astoria Lighting Co, we install industry-leading permanent lighting systems designed for long-lasting performance and outstanding value. We offer brighter LED lights, true warm-white capabilities, a closed track system, individually addressable lights, and many other important features that our competitors do not offer. It is priced according to how much linear feet you want installed on your home, plus a Wi-Fi controller and power supply system, rather than on the square footage of the home, and the length of rooflines can vary dramatically for houses of similar size. Because of this, we have to measure your roofline in order to give you an accurate quote.

However, as a guide, we typically run in the $20 to $28 dollar per linear foot range—plus $250-450 for controllers and power supplies–depending on the time of the year, as we frequently offer pricing promotions during the Spring and Summer months to encourage our customers to get their systems installed outside of the busy fall holiday season. Most of our jobs fall into the $2500 to $5500 range—sold, installed, and warrantied, with all taxes and fees included—to put lighting where customers would typically hang their Christmas lights. We offer great payment options that allow you to spread out the cost over time, resulting in significant savings versus hanging traditional Christmas lights, installing pot or can lighting, or otherwise improving the look of your home.

Where are the lights installed?

The lights are installed to the outer part of the soffit behind the fascia or trim, facing downward.

Can I make my own accent lighting?

Yes! Each light is individually addressable, meaning you can choose which lights you want on and what color you want them to be (anything from bright white to warm white or any color in the spectrum). For example, you can turn on lights at the top of each peak and over corners and columns, while the rest of the lights stay off, to provide nightly accents for your home. Our competitors do not offer this customizability.

Can I save timers?

Yes, you can save multiple nightly & weekly timers as well as calendar events for holidays and other special occasions. You can have them set by hour, or use the Sunrise and Sunset features.

Where can the lights be controlled from?

With the app, you can control your lights anywhere using our cloud technology. This means as long as your handheld device has an internet connection, you can be at work or anywhere in the world and turn on and off or change patterns remotely!

Are the lights UL listed & CSA/ETL approved?

Yes! The lights are ETL certified in the USA and Canada. Most low-voltage lighting companies are under the impression that they do not need proper CSA approvals for lighting if it is low voltage. This is incorrect and as a consumer, you should make sure that the product you are purchasing is indeed approved. You will see our ETL stamp of approval on our products.

How long does the installation take?

Average-sized installations are done in one day. You only need to be there for the beginning and the end of the installation. We will coordinate with you when we schedule your installation.

Can I make my own patterns?

Yes! The lights are individually addressable which allows you to choose which lights you want on and what color you want them to be, and join them together in different patterns and animations. There are millions of different colors that you can make! We also have hundreds of preset patterns and animations.

Can you see the lights from the street?

We install the lights in a color-matched aluminum track, made out of the same material that your gutters are made from. We depth-match the track to the way your soffit is built, so that the lights slightly protrude from the track below the fascia. They are unnoticeable from the street unless you are looking for them.

Are the lights dimmable?

Yes they are! Through the app, you can control and dim all the lights or just a section of the lights to get your desired effect.

How long does the system last?

Our LEDs are rated for 50,000 hours. It is a robust, outdoor rated LED lighting system that you can expect to last for years and years! We expect 10-20 years depending on usage–one installation, one investment, and many, many years with all of your lighting needs met!

How does the track hang?

Using the depth of the fascia on your home, we will hang it based on that specific depth. This allows us to create a low profile look that blends nicely into your home.
