Can't decide between LED and Halogen?

Bloom is pleased to present LED Lighting solutions for your lighting system. LED solutions use a fraction of the energy consumed by conventional halogen light bulbs. This energy efficient lighting solution lasts approximately 30 times longer than halogen lighting and still gives the warm white glow of halogen.

LED lighting is available in a variety of color temperatures to better suit different applications, which gives Bloom much more flexibility in designing the perfect layout for your home, as well as brings out specific details of your home and landscape.

2023 UPDATE- WE HAVE PHASED OUT THE INDESCENT BULB LIGHTS. THE NEW LED LIGHTS COME IN THE SAME TEMPERATURE THAT CUSTOMERS LOVE. A SOFT YELLOW LIGHT. THE NEW LIGHTS LITERALLY USE 10% OR LESS OF THE ORIGINAL WATTAGE OF TRADITIONAL LIGHTS.

Call us today if you wish to see if its possible to update the light bulb, without replacing the entire fixture. This is a great update to your light system that will also help reduce your energy bill.

How much less do LED’s use… the numbers…

A traditional fixture may use between 15 and 50 watts. The new LED’s use between 1 and 4 watts. So if your system has 10 fixtures, it will use up to 40 watts, that’s less than one of those old school lightbulbs.

Eco-Friendly LED Lighting Solutions

• Energy Saving: An LED light bulb utilizes 10% of the energy of a typical light bulb. 90% of electricity goes to producing the heat needed to light a halogen and only 10% goes to the actual light. – The opposite is true for LED; more of the electricity used goes to the actual light not the heating process.
• Money Saving: LED lamps use a significantly less amount of energy than halogen, so you will not even notice a blip on your electric bill. Also, LEDs will last longer than a halogen lamp, so you will not be spending much on replacement bulbs
• Planet Friendly: When you take into account the fact that LED lighting solutions can be recycled and contain no mercury, their environmental benefits are clear.

Ready to See the LED Difference?

Bloom will walk you through our catalog of products to find the perfect lighting solutions for your home or business – whether you are accenting a stone wall or up lighting your landscape, we will find the best solution for you. Additionally, we can convert previously installed halogen systems and to LED while using your current fixtures.

Landscape Lighting Tip's from the Pro's @ Bloom Lawn + Landscape

• Avoid using solar lights from Home Depot and Lowes. These Chinese made plastic cheapo’s don't last, don't work if it's cloudy, and won't work in shade areas, or be very dim. Solar lights emit only 3-5% of the light that a modern LED fixture emits. That means even a 3 watt LED is 20x stronger than a solar light. The home depot Solar lights never seem to stand up right and can make your yard look tacky. Save yourself the cost and invest in a real LED lighting system instead. Do it the right way, or wait until you have the money to do it the right way, but don’t go out and waste money on a cheap system that will just be tacky.
• You don't need an electrician to install low voltage landscape lighting. Because the system is LOW VOLTAGE, it can be installed by you or a landscape professional.
• Get a bigger transformer just in case you decide to add more lights in the future. Transformers that come with an extra 50 or 100 watt capacity will often times cost just a few dollars more.
• Install two transformers if needed (front and back) to save on wire, this will have no impact on the quality of your LED outdoor lighting system.

This is the Bloom Standard of Installation.

1. Before we begin any installation, Bloom will order a Miss Utility Marking of you property one week prior to make sure we locate any buried cables. This will mark Gas and Electric cables (Phone, Cable, and Internet are optional and up to the provider if they are marked).
2. Unfortunately, there is no way to mark where sprinkler lines or any aftermarket items (Gate Openers, Security Camera, or Water Softer etc.) are located. If you are aware of their locations or have a map please provide that to us before work begins. You can also flag any special areas or let our install people know.
3. On the day of the installation, Bloom will arrive and ensure all the fixtures are still in place where they are to be installed. Once we are sure that everything is in place correctly we will begin trenching where all of the power lines will run and place the home run boxes in strategic areas in the yard.
4. For the lines in the grass we trench a minimum of 6-8 inches to ensure these wires are well below the surface and protected from yard aeration. Our method of trenching is the least invasive method and we will leave your yard looking like it did before we arrived.
5. Once everything is hooked up and installed, our technicians will go back over all of the lines and make sure the grass is placed back in the same place it was removed from, leaving very little visible marks, if any at all.
6. Before we leave, Bloom will ensure all fixtures are clear of debris, aimed correctly, and power is running from the transformer as it should be, not too high, not too low. We will also set the timer to your desired on/off setting and make sure the yard and beds look like we were never there.

The Benefits of Outdoor Lighting

There are many reasons and to consider outdoor lighting as a way to accent your landscape, brings things to life, while also improving security! From years of experience servicing the outdoor lighting needs of the Yorktown, Williamsburg, Hampton and Greater Hampton Roads area, we have helped many clients experience the benefits of residential and commercial lighting systems.

Enhance Security and Safety

Illuminating your property after dark can also be an effective way of dissuading unwanted guests from poking around on your property. Lights scare of robbers. Lighting systems can help to keep your invited guests safe after dark. Place lights around the swimming pool, along walkways and near the terrace or patio areas that get frequent traffic so as to reduce the risk of falls or other injuries.

2023 Security Update: we have seen a serious increase in break in’s even in communities once considered safe. We have had a more than 350% increase in customers asking us for security lighting. We have put together a package for security that also includes motion activated lights mixed in with regular lights. We recommend this new system for those who live in non-gated communities, near major roads, or in zip codes that are particularly affected. Please note that our lighting should be combined with a front porch camera. We are going to be making a blog post about security, please see our blog. There we will try to give us much information as possible so that you can protect your home. It seems that crime is showing no signs of reduction and keeps on rising into 2023. As the economy goes into worse times, crime may increase more. This has been an urgent issue brought up by many customers, some of who have called us in a panic following their break in.
