Awareness. That is what light pollution needs. Awareness on the part of the consumer and the supplier. Tim Ryan is a landscape lighting designer who is aware of light pollution. A good designer is not looking for the brightest LED. It's about nuance, balance, layering, and texture. As Tim says, “a little bit of light goes a long way.” Tim is The Lighthouse Group executive director, one of the principal lighting designers for the Lighthouse Design Studio and the professional photographer documenting all of the finished projects for our group. He has been on this “lighting ride” for 27 years, starting with integrated lighting into his landscape designs from the very beginning and 5 years later moving into the outdoor lighting business solely after falling in love with the mood, magic and totally new perspective that the illuminated garden space provides. He's been with Lighthouse since 2015 and is passionate about educating the next generation of outdoor lighting designers for the future of this art.

Mature plants and gardens look beautiful when highlighted with proper low-voltage lighting. Tom refers to this as painting with light! BOLD lights are CRI 90 or above. Sunlight is 100. They come with a 7-year warranty. Are you seeing new trends in landscape lighting? Black is still the most popular fixture colour. New shape is a reflection of some new shapes in the interlocking industry Smart technology is also popular.

In this conversation, Joshua Gillow and Ryan Lee discuss the topic of increasing prices for contractors. They emphasize the importance of understanding your worth and valuing your services. They also discuss the mindset around pricing and the impact it has on the success of a business. They highlight the need to price based on the future vision of the business and the value it provides to clients and the community. They also touch on the pitfalls of offering discounts and the importance of justifying higher prices to clients. The conversation discusses the concept of value stacking and how it can help businesses differentiate themselves and increase their prices. Value stacking involves showing clients the benefits and value they will receive by working with a particular company, rather than just listing the features of the product or service. By demonstrating the unique value they offer, businesses can justify higher prices and attract clients who are willing to pay more. The conversation also touches on the importance of setting expectations, being honest with clients, and focusing on serving them rather than just making a profit.Connect with Joshua at:The WebsiteThe Facebook GroupSales Master ClassesSubscribe to Outerspaces on your favorite podcasting platform and never miss an episode!

Dan is a landscape lighting designer and he is on our side. He tries to stay away from “on at dusk off at dawn” sensors. As Dan says, for good design. you need the darkness. You can't just pump light into an area and call it good lighting. Good lighting is controlled and does not contribute to light pollution. Dan Jobbins is a lighting designer, based out of New York's beautiful hudson valley. He graduated from Boston University's College of Fine Arts with a BFA in theatrical lighting design. He has had a 15+ year career designing lighting for theaters up and down the east coast, as well as for high profile events in the New York metropolitan area. During the covid 19 pandemic and resulting shut downs of arts and entertainment venues Dan pivoted toward landscape lighting, securing a position with one of the oldest landscape lighting companies in the Northeast. He later struck out on his own to form Hudson Valley Holidays which started as a holiday lighting company but has grown to include all manner of outdoor and landscape lighting design. Dan takes pride in placing the highest emphasis on quality design and services within Hudson Valley Holidays, a big part of which is striving for Dark Sky compliance.

You'd think a landscape lighting designer wouldn't really be concerned with sky glow. “Just light up the landscape and the sky be damned!” But you would be wrong if you thought that about Kathryn. Her number one concern when designing is to not add to light pollution. She strongly advises clients to turn off their lights by 10 pm, and even earlier if you aren't around to enjoy them. She's a big advocate for controls too, which, as we at Restoring Darkness have been saying, makes sense for outdoor lighting. And Kathryn knows what she's talking about: She has led workshops and taught classes at numerous locations including universities, and she is an active Mentor Team member of the International Landscape Lighting Institute Intensive Course, and serves on the ILLI Board of Directors and ILLI Programming Committee. Kathryn Toth is an award-winning architectural lighting designer who strives to create artistic lighting solutions. Her projects include exterior, landscape, retail, commercial, and residential projects around the globe. Working to create the visual atmosphere and enhance the space is her specialty. Kathryn is an active and instrumental member of the Illuminating Engineering Society (IES) Recommended Practice for Landscape Lighting and the IES Outdoor Nighttime Environments (ONE) committees, a member of the International Dark-Sky Association (IDA), and a board member of the International Landscape Lighting Institute (ILLI).
