Key Tips for Designers: Stunning Landscape Lighting in Spring
How Designers Use Coastal Source Fixtures to Create Spring-Ready Outdoor Spaces
As outdoor living continues to become an essential aspect of our lives, designers are increasingly involved with beautifying the landscape and elevating outdoor areas. One of the companies supporting them in their efforts is Coastal Source.
Coastal Source was born in the Florida Keys out of a desire to create an outdoor landscape lighting solution that could withstand any weather, including corrosive salt air. From that idea grew a global phenomenon, an outdoor lighting and audio company that Defy the Elements™.
When Coastal Source partnered with Lutron to create the first Ketra-compatible outdoor light fixture, outdoor lighting was transformed. Here, we’ll explore how designers use this extraordinary outdoor lighting system to highlight the seasonal beauty of spring.

Using Uplights to Highlight Landscape Features
As we journey into the deep recesses of spring, the season is coming to life. Blooming trees, vibrant flower beds, and lush shrubs are waiting to be showcased, celebrating the season of rejuvenation.
Uplights are the ideal solution for highlighting your client’s stunning display. Some Coastal Source fixtures that stand out for this purpose include flexible and fixed bullet uplights. These lights can also be mounted, producing dramatic downlighting effects.
Set the Mood with Adjustable Lighting
Coastal Source’s innovative Ketra Ready fixture is a Modulus Bullet light that offers lighting designers color temperatures ranging from 1,400K to 10,000K, bringing advanced full-spectrum lighting to the outdoors for dynamic, changeable illumination.
Some designers use it to brighten flowering plants, such as a Magnolia tree, in the same color as their beautiful spring blooms. The combined color creates a brilliant and almost otherworldly effect.
The Ketra Ready fixture also mimics natural light, creating a soft, sunset illumination throughout the gardens and entertainment areas instead of a glaring white light that distracts from your landscape features.
As a designer with an artist’s eye, you can appreciate how these outdoor lights provide limitless possibilities for homeowners. Their outdoor lighting can transform instantly, customized for any event, whether casual gatherings or elegant outdoor celebrations.
Weather-Resistant Pathway Lights
Today’s pathway lights provide subtle, soft illumination to guide your guests while blending in with the natural surroundings. These sleek fixtures are ideally suited for garden walkways, patios, or driveways, ensuring safety while adding a warm, inviting ambiance to the overall design.
Undercap Lighting for Subtle Elegance
Mounted on wall posts, decks, seating areas, steps, and outdoor kitchen counters, these low-profile lights offer discreet illumination that elevates your clients’ outdoor aesthetic without exposing the fixtures.
Light from an Unseen Source
Niche lights are flexible micro-size fixtures that also provide discrete lighting in areas where traditional fixtures take away from the aesthetics.
Coastal Source light fixtures are solid brass and connected via a patented cabling system that keeps the water out. These two technologies keep the system corrosion-free and long-lasting.
With today’s landscape lighting, homeowners can experience an oasis after dark—with outdoor areas that come alive while still honoring the night. At Argenta, we’re excited to work with designers to elevate outdoor living, creating spaces friends and families enjoy no matter the season.
