This elegant villa is located in the award-winning Royal Westmoreland luxury resort. Our brief was to provide a comprehensive landscape lighting retrofit design with the specific objective of saving energy. Two approaches were considered: using low voltage (12v) halogen fixtures or compact fluorescents (CFL’s) and LED’s. Savings in energy costs with the CFL/LED option meant that the initial slightly more expensive outlay was recouped within the first eighteen months. We used LED path lights to create a scalloped effect around the pool deck, shrubs were lit with LED spot lights and the large trees with medium wattage CFL flood lights.
