Our Work
Benefits
Tomorrow’s Lighting Solutions
We engineer scalable, networked lighting that grows with your site. Our systems integrate LED luminaires, astronomical timeclocks, and photocells with options for smart control platforms like FX Luminaire Luxor, Lutron Vive, or Casambi Bluetooth mesh. We design low-voltage 12/24V architectures with segmented zones, dimming, and color tuning for seasonal displays. Surge protection, remote monitoring, and modular transformers make upgrades simple as your property evolves.
Meeting Codes & Standards
Our team handles City of Santa Clarita permits, Title 24 Part 6 energy code requirements, and IES-recommended illumination levels for egress paths. We provide one-line diagrams, load calculations, and control narratives, then coordinate inspections with Building and Safety. For HOA or property management reviews, we prepare fixture cut sheets, photometric summaries, and sample boards to secure approvals without delays.
Expert Workmanship Every Time
We use IP65–IP67 rated luminaires, marine-grade aluminum or solid brass bodies, UV-stable lenses, and gel-filled connectors to combat heat and irrigation. Cables are buried to code depth with sch. 40 PVC under hardscape. Beam spreads are selected by task—narrow for columns and signage, wide for facade wash and canopy trees. Every system is voltage-balanced at each hub to ensure even brightness and long LED life.
Tailored Lighting Design
Every project begins with a night audit and photometric planning. We map pedestrian routes, facade features, planting beds, and parking edges, then model target footcandle levels. Design options include 2700–3000K hospitality tones or 3500–4000K for retail clarity, with shields and louvers to control glare. You receive a clear plan set, control schedule, and fixture schedule aligned with brand standards and HOA guidelines.
What We Offer
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit for low-voltage commercial landscape lighting in Santa Clarita?+
Yes, most commercial exterior lighting projects require permits through the City of Santa Clarita Building and Safety Division, even for low-voltage systems. We prepare plans, Title 24 controls documentation, and coordinate inspections. If any work extends into public right-of-way, we also handle encroachment permits with Public Works.
How do you prevent light trespass to nearby neighborhoods?+
We use warm color temperatures, precise beam spreads, and shielding/louvers to target only the intended surfaces. Photometric planning and on-site aiming at dusk ensure compliance with HOA rules and dark-sky-friendly practices. We also set dimming schedules for late-night hours to reduce output while maintaining safety.
Can installation be done without disrupting business operations?+
Yes. We often schedule night or off-hours work for retail and hospitality sites. Trenching is phased, temporary protection is placed over work areas, and we coordinate closely with property managers to maintain clear egress paths and ADA access. Our crews keep noise and dust to a minimum during operating hours.
What fixtures perform best in Santa Clarita’s heat and irrigation?+
We recommend IP65–IP67 LED fixtures with marine-grade aluminum or solid brass housings, UV-stable lenses, and sealed, gel-filled connectors. Heat-rated transformers, surge protection, and properly buried cable in PVC under hardscape help systems withstand high temperatures, irrigation, and seasonal winds.
How does Title 24 affect my outdoor lighting project?+
California Title 24 requires high-efficacy luminaires and automatic controls such as photocells and astronomical time clocks, with additional motion-based control in certain applications. We design systems to meet these standards, provide control narratives, and verify functionality during inspection to ensure compliance and reliable operation.
