- The install team needed exact focal zones before ordering fixtures.
- Approval had to happen before a scheduled event weekend.
Process

Outcome

Scope overview
The existing landscape lighting was underpowered and uneven. The homeowner needed to understand how new fixtures would affect safety, ambiance, and curb appeal.
Highlights
- Three night views to compare fixture placements.
- Light spill annotations that clarified safety coverage.
- Premium fixture options that supported a higher-value bid.
Execution notes
We simulated light output with fixture specs and aligned the plan with the contractor’s install sequence, so the team could move straight into scheduling after approval.
