Do activities at your golf course fade to black when the sun sets and your outdoor spaces go dark? If you aren’t utilizing your clubhouse and patio for evening events, you may be losing out on significant revenue.
Some well-placed outdoor lighting can transform your clubhouse into a place where members can enjoy views under the stars while they unwind, and where groups that want to enjoy fresh air and outdoor ambiance can schedule parties, weddings, anniversaries, meetings and other nighttime gatherings.
Thanks to advances in smart technology and color-changing RGBw (red, green, blue and warm white) LED lighting, your team or lighting contractor can install lights one time, then use a smart device to create a holiday-themed display or set the mood for an event. In just minutes, you can match company logos, sports team colors, wedding and baby shower colors and more to customize the event experience.

Bistro lighting, also known as string lighting, has gained popularity over the past few years because it allows you to set a mood by complementing traditional landscape lighting.

Outdoor living is about seamlessly overlapping layers of lifestyle enhancement, from hardscape areas to fire pits and water features that drown out traffic noise with the sound of gently splashing water.
Ultimately, lighting ties everything together while providing a safe environment after dark. For example, you can combine bistro lighting with classy holiday decor and add starbursts and other animated lights to create a whimsical atmosphere that’s both festive and functional.
