Add new, exciting opportunities for clients in 2016 by offering clients Attraction Lights in their existing landscape design!  Attraction Lights fixtures are a great conversation starter with your clients! Here’s how:

  • Call them to say you would like to show something truly unique and beautiful as an enhancement to their landscape design!
  • Send an email showing artistic Attraction Lights photos! (Ask us to send a photo folder link with images for download.)
  • Add these same great images to your website!
  • Send a mailing showing beautiful night scene and shadow pattern lighting!
  • Show a demo light on a service call to spark their interest in more work!

Now that you have their interest, how do you add Attraction Lights to an existing lighting plan? Here are three possibilities to consider:

1. Expand the night scene by adding a tall sculptural light or a fixture grouping beyond the existing lighting. This will create new nighttime views, and encourage an evening walk in the garden.

2. Replace those common path lights with artistic Attraction Lights fixtures. Our lights add drama to any night landscape! Your client will enjoy the art, plus the new dimension of shadow patterns! Note: For the shadow patterns to be visible, set the new light apart from other lighting.

Ideas for introducing Attraction Lights to customers:

  • Suggest the idea of “lighting art” when guests arrive at the property! (Along the driveway and/or walkways.)
  • Suggest creating a dramatic view for the client to enjoy from the patio, deck or pool!
  • Consider what a new nighttime view from inside the home might look like, for year-round enjoyment.
  • Show how one accent light (or group) added to a previously invisible garden area can bring it to life!
  • Offer custom designed fixtures for your best clients!

Attraction Lights will add new excitement to your client’s lighting plan! You are now offering more than just functional lighting. You are offering art in the form of useful sculpture with amazing lighting!

Expand Your Vision for lighting and you will expand your business possibilities!

If you do choose to return the lights, the only payment owed will be for the shipping to and from your location.  To date, no one has returned the display models.  They have either sold them  right at the show or chose to keep them for future displays and for showing clients!

Shadow Pattern Lighting

Broken Light

Exciting new trends in outdoor lighting!

This spring at Light Fair there was a lot of excitement for “Broken Light.” A Netherlands based lighting design company has won numerous international awards for its streetscape lighting that features “shadow patterns.” The lighting effects add drama and beauty to what otherwise would be a rather dull, pedestrian surface.

At Attraction Lights, we are pleased to see  international recognition for this new way of thinking about outdoor lighting!  Attraction Lights has been developing this “shadow pattern” aspect of landscape lighting for over 10 years!

Broken Light produced sophisticated street lights mounted on utilitarian light poles to generate artistic abstract lighting patterns on sidewalks, with stripes of light on nearby building walls.

Attraction Lights fixtures use a decorative housing to interrupt the lighting and generate artistic lighting patterns. The designs can be geometric, abstract, or nature-like.  The area around the fixture is well illuminated, but with a perceptible pattern in the lighting, especially on uniform surfaces.

The Attraction Lights fixture is also an artistic asset in the garden or streetscape! Sculptural elements are an excellent choice for directing the eye through the landscape, day and night. Plus, by adding garden art and sculpture, you demonstrate an attention to detail that your clients will appreciate.

It appears the traditional outdoor lighting approaches are evolving to include shadow patterns as an exciting artistic technique in outdoor lighting!

Do you have clients that would be excited to see the latest lighting trend with their proposal?
