Options!

Can we ever have enough options? Do we have too many options? I’m not too sure about either of these questions but I do know that I like to have plenty of options when creating an outdoor lighting design.
One thing that I know for sure, no one outdoor lighting manufacturer has everything I need. Some have huge selections of decorative lighting fixtures while others have all of those decorative fixtures in just about every color you would want. Others have just a handful of fixtures. Some manufacturers offer nothing but commercial grade or “spec” grade fixtures while others offer very cheap fixtures.
One of the things that separate lighting designers is whether we use one manufacturer for our designs or pick and choose from several. Since I can’t find everything I need from one company, I use a lot of different products from several manufacturers to create a unique outdoor lighting design. One option I never go with is the CHEAP one.  See some samples at NightScenes Landscape Lighting Professionals
