Landscape & Architectural Lighting in Orange County

Orange County Night Lights has designed and installed landscape lighting across Orange County since 2002 from our shop at 15561 Product Ln, Ste D9, Huntington Beach (CSLB #901505). Every property gets its own plan, built around the architecture, the planting and how you move through the yard — so the effect reads and the hardware disappears.

Techniques

How We Design Landscape Lighting for Orange County Homes

A finished design combines four or five techniques. Used together they create depth; used alone they flatten a yard.

Tree & garden

Narrow and wide beams reveal trunks and planting, with soft moonlighting from mature trees in established neighborhoods like Cypress.

Deck & patio

Shielded lighting for steps, seating and outdoor gathering areas, balanced with the surrounding garden.

Path & area

Low pools of light for safe passage without a runway of glare.

Wash & graze

Even, glare-free light across facades, walls and hedges.

Silhouette

Backlit specimen plants read as sculpture against a lit wall.

Driveway

Glare-controlled light for arrivals, driveway edges and the approach to your entry.

Start with a landscape lighting design that brings paths, trees, architecture and outdoor living areas together. Our outdoor lighting installation turns that plan into a complete system, with maintenance to keep beams aimed as planting grows.

01

Fixtures Built for the Coast and Inland Heat

Solid brass fixtures suit coastal salt air in Huntington Beach and Newport Beach, while fixture placement accounts for inland heat and planting. We install FX Luminaire, SPJ, WAC Lighting and Unique Lighting.

Service area

Landscape Lighting Across Orange County

Our crew works from the Huntington Beach shop at 15561 Product Ln, Ste D9, planning lighting around each property's architecture, planting and everyday use. Coastal service includes Huntington Beach, Newport Beach, Corona del Mar, Laguna Beach and San Clemente, where salt air makes fixture materials and protected connections important.

In central and West County, we serve Cypress, Costa Mesa, Fountain Valley and Irvine, including Quail Hill. Mature trees call for careful beam placement, while planned communities may require an HOA design review before installation. Inland service includes Anaheim Hills and Yorba Linda. Whether the plan starts with a front path or extends through trees, facades, a driveway and patio, we design the areas together and maintain the lighting as the landscape changes.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Do you install landscape lighting throughout Orange County?
Yes. We design, install and service landscape lighting across Orange County, from Huntington Beach, Cypress and Costa Mesa to Irvine, Newport Beach, Laguna Beach and Yorba Linda, working from our Huntington Beach shop since 2002.
How much does landscape lighting cost in Orange County?
Most Orange County Night Lights residential projects run $3,500 to $8,500 depending on scope. Every quote is written and fixed after an on-site consultation.
What kind of fixtures do you install?
We install solid brass and copper fixtures specified for coastal salt air. Brass costs more up front but does not pit through the way powder-coated aluminum does, the threads still turn after a decade, and the patina reads as aged bronze rather than damage. Every buried splice is waterproofed, because unsealed splices are the most common failure we see.
How does the free design consultation work?
We come out after dark and set real fixtures on your property so you can see the effect on your house, trees and paths before committing to anything. We walk the design with you, then leave a fixed written price. There is no charge and no obligation whether or not you decide to go ahead with the project.
What color temperature do you use?
Our default is 2700K, a warm white similar to a traditional incandescent bulb, run consistently across every fixture on the property. On very modern architecture with cool-toned materials such as grey stone or black steel, 3000K can read cleaner. What we never do is mix color temperatures on one elevation, because it makes the whole system look wrong.
Can you handle HOA approval in my community?
Yes. We prepare HOA and architectural submittals for Irvine and other planned communities where design review is common. The fixture-by-fixture layout includes counts, fixture types, aiming notes and zoning. We wait for the community's approval before installation; approval is not guaranteed.
How are the lights controlled?
Every system includes an astronomic timer that adjusts on and off times to sunset through the year, so you never reset it. Systems can be split into zones and scenes so the yard runs quietly or fully lit. App control, dimming and color-changing fixtures are available and are far cheaper to include at installation than to add later.
