Already have landscape lighting installed but it’s looking a little… outdated? You’re not alone. Many Orange County homeowners installed outdoor lighting years ago, only to find that their system no longer matches their home’s aesthetic—or their energy goals.

At Innovative Light Designs, we specialize in landscape lighting upgrades in Orange County, helping homeowners modernize their systems, enhance performance, and elevate the beauty of their outdoor spaces with minimal disruption.

Whether your system is dim, uneven, expensive to operate, or simply out of style, our team can design and implement an upgrade plan that transforms your nighttime curb appeal.

Why Consider a Landscape Lighting Upgrade?

Technology and design standards have evolved. Here’s why homeowners across Orange County are upgrading their lighting:

💡 Switching to Energy-Efficient LEDs

Older halogen or incandescent systems consume more energy and burn out faster. Upgrading to low-voltage LED lighting can:

  • Reduce your energy consumption by up to 80%

  • Extend bulb lifespan (25,000–50,000 hours)

  • Eliminate frequent replacements

🧠 Integrating Smart Controls

Modern lighting systems can be managed from your phone or voice assistant. With upgrades, you can add:

  • Dimmers

  • Motion sensors

  • Timers

  • App-based scheduling

  • Zoned control systems

✨ Revitalizing Your Aesthetic

What looked “modern” in 2009 may look dated now. Today’s fixtures come in sleek, architectural finishes like matte black or brushed brass, with cleaner lines and more precision in light spread.

🛠️ Fixing Wear & Tear

Coastal air, heat, irrigation, and time can corrode wires, fog lenses, and knock fixtures out of alignment. Upgrading includes repair or replacement of:

  • Rusted or broken fixtures

  • Exposed or frayed wiring

  • Malfunctioning transformers or zones

Illuminate Your Outdoors With Revolutionary LED Lights

Common Signs It’s Time to Upgrade

  • Flickering or dim lights

  • Broken or misaligned fixtures

  • Bulbs burning out frequently

  • Uneven lighting coverage

  • High electricity bills

  • Inflexible or manual-only controls

  • Fixtures clashing with updated landscaping or architecture

If this sounds familiar, schedule a consultation to assess your system.

Areas of Focus During a Lighting Upgrade

We approach upgrades strategically, starting with a property walkthrough and design audit. Here are some of the most common elements we improve:

➤ Driveways & Walkways

Replace dated path lights with sleek bollards or recessed LEDs for a cleaner, safer entry path.

➤ Architectural Accents

Install modern uplights and wall washes that reveal your home’s best features without glare.

➤ Backyards & Outdoor Living Spaces

Add soft ambient lighting around fire pits, patios, and pergolas to create a resort-style experience.

➤ Trees & Landscape Features

Use narrower beams and warm-toned LEDs to highlight palm trees, boulders, or sculptures with precision.

➤ Event-Ready Lighting

We also upgrade systems for homeowners who regularly host weddings, charity events, or large family gatherings.

Client Success Story: Modern Revival in Irvine

“We bought our home with an old halogen system. It barely lit the walkways and had wires exposed all over. Innovative Light Designs didn’t just replace the lights—they redesigned the whole layout. Now our home looks beautiful and modern, and our electric bill dropped.”
