Santa Fe County
Santa Fe, Eldorado, Tesuque and La Cienega. The most tightly regulated exterior lighting in our area and the most consistent architecture — low, flat-roofed and earth-colored. Warm, shielded and aimed down is not a compromise here, it is the local standard.
Cities
Santa Fe regulates exterior lighting more tightly than anywhere else we work — the city has required shielded outdoor fixtures on new construction since 1998, and the historic districts add design review on top. Worth talking through before anything is ordered. And here they are farolitos, not luminarias.
Passive-solar and territorial homes on big lots in a community that takes its night sky seriously. Warm, low and aimed down is the brief, and it happens to be what this system does best.
Low adobe under old cottonwoods just north of the city, where almost nothing should read as a light fixture.
Rural lots southwest of Santa Fe with long approaches and very little ambient light to compete with.
What we install
Most people call about December. The same track and the same app cover the other eleven months, which is where it actually earns its keep.
The roofline system — warm white every night, any color when you want it, color-matched to disappear by day.
Christmas, Halloween, the Fourth and Balloon Fiesta out of the same track, with no ladder and no bags.
If you want it up for this December, this is the one call that covers every December after it too.
Full brightness across the front of the house, on a schedule or on demand.
Pitched roof or flat parapet, single-story or two — measured in person either way.
Storefronts and offices that want year-round exterior lighting without booking a seasonal contractor.
We measure your roofline in person and hand you an exact price the same visit.
