It's a big decision. The proper garden outdoor lighting brings your property to life after dark, creates a safe, welcoming environment for family and friends, and extends your outdoor enjoyment long after sunset.
There are plenty of landscape lighting contractors in Dubai. Who will do the best job for you and your unique landscape lighting needs?
Here's your guide:
What to Look For?
Too often, homeowners need to focus on budget and time frame before delving into the other qualities that will affect their final landscape lighting design.
Here are some things to look for in a landscape lighting contractor.
Do They Focus On Design?
Your landscape lighting contractor should emphasize design and ask you lots of questions about how you use your outdoor space. Sure, you want your lighting to look great, but you also want it to work with your lifestyle.
Your designer should understand the nuances of uplighting, downlighting, and moonlighting and how they work together to create not just light but artistry.
Will They Work With You, Not For You?
You and your designer are doing this together. It would help if you had a conversation about how you live, what you like, and the ideas you've collected. That's the best way to end up with lighting you love.
Will They Communicate?
Communication is key. Our contractor will keep you informed every step of the way, from crew arrival times to job progress reports. We value your feedback and ensure follow-up to guarantee your satisfaction with the work.
Watch Out For These Red Flags
Sometimes, your instinct tells you when a company is or isn't the right fit for you. If you see any of these red flags, beware.
1. A Sketchy Contract
Don't sign a skimpy contract. It should include plenty of details about the job ahead, from deadlines to payment schedules to precisely what crews will do and what materials they'll use.
Sometimes, changes are needed as the job progresses. Be sure those changes are noted in detail and writing, including any cost updates.
2. Poor Communication
If you need help connecting with a contractor as you ask questions and get estimates, chances are they will only be available once the work starts, too. If they don't call you back or can't answer your questions, cross them off your list.
3. No References
A good contractor will be happy to share the names of satisfied customers who love their work. If not, why not?
Top Questions to Ask
There's more to find out than how much your project will cost and how long it will take to complete. Make a list of questions to ask, including:
1. What Are Your Qualifications?
How long have they been in business? Are their crews trained in lighting design and installation?
2. Nice Photos — Are They Yours?
When you look at the impressive photo gallery on the company website, be sure you're looking at images of lighting jobs this company has done. A good contractor will have plenty of photos that demonstrate their expertise.
3. What's The Warranty?
Be sure your lighting has a substantial guarantee.
LED bulbs have a 7-year warranty — that's 50,000 hours of light — and our transformers have a lifetime warranty.
It's not uncommon for an LED's lifespan to stretch to 17 to 20 years when running an average of eight hours a night.
4. Quality Materials?
Quality parts matter. Be sure you're getting components of high-quality copper and brass. Aluminum or plastic parts won't stand up to time or weather.
5. Will You Stick Around?
When your lighting needs attention down the road, will your company be there for you? Will they come back to replace bulbs, clean lenses, re-bury exposed wires, and adjust timers and controls?
You've invested in your new lighting. Proper servicing and maintenance will keep it working well and looking great for years.
