Uncovering the Latest Outdoor Lighting Trends
Create an Enchanting Retreat with Exterior Lighting Design
Outdoor lighting does much more than illuminate your property when evening falls. It extends your living space and carries the enjoyment of your many outdoor activities long into the night. It creates security and safety and provides the ultimate curb appeal.
The popularity of outdoor lighting has increased substantially as homeowners embrace outdoor living, creating a peaceful retreat or a party atmosphere in Los Angeles, CA. Let’s explore the latest lighting trends that let homeowners and their families enjoy their outdoor spaces in illuminated splendor.

Niche Lighting
Lighting continues to evolve with the introduction of more niche lighting solutions. This enables complete customization of outdoor lighting design, from lights on fences and in trees to underground or barely visible. Now, there is a fixture for every space and design element.
At Audio Command Systems, we partner with Coastal Source, an industry leader in outdoor lighting and audio. These lights are made for our area, defying the elements, including intense sun, rain, and salt water. Their extensive selection enables us to personalize every outdoor space and find the perfect solutions.
For example, micro-sized FLEX Niche lights allow us to create lighting from unseen sources, bringing the illusion of moonbeams and starlight. Like all Coastal Source fixtures, their pathway lights are constructed of 100% brass, creating beautifully illuminated trails.
For those near the water, Pile Caps are the perfect solution for docks and lighting along waterfronts. Underwater lights are ideal for fountains, water features, and pools, casting a luminous glow in blue, green, or white lighting. We can also place impressive tiki lights around the pool or property for a Polynesian-inspired effect.
Landscape Lighting as a Masterpiece
What do you see when you look out your windows at night? For many people, their windows reflect the darkness or dimly lit patios. Others never see their backyard at night, lowering the shades and enclosing themselves in the comfort of their home.
Once you create an enchanting outdoor retreat, chances are you’ll keep those same shades open long into the evening. Now, these windows reveal a work of art, and your backyard has become an oasis. Landscape lighting resembles the stars in Vincent van Gogh's Starry Night Over the Rhône. Patio lights recall the beautiful outdoor dining at Hollywood’s Ka’Teen or the European eateries with string lights and golden lanterns.
Curated Settings for Outdoor Activities
When integrated with your home integration system, your lighting, climate, entertainment, and security are controlled via one easy-to-use platform. This enables our team to program curated settings for numerous activities. For instance, tap the “Dining Alfresco” button, and your patio and landscape lights illuminate, your “Outdoor Dining” playlist streams through satellite landscape speakers, and the outdoor fire pit ignites.
