Pulling Off Symmetry When It's Not Actually Symmetrical

Captain Matt is back at the Beekman 1802 Farm explaining how he makes an uneven landscape look symmetrical with landscape lights so it doesn't look strange at night.

The Story Behind Our Name and Slogan. Why Barefoot Lighting? How did you come up with that name? Captain Matt here with a video on why we are called Barefoot Lighting and where that came from. It's kind of twofold, so I do live a lot of my warmer months just completely barefoot, I enjoy it, it feels good, so there was that. I went to California when I really learned illumination and being barefoot is a different mindset, when you think of “barefoot” you're not thinking that you're working, you're not thinking you're walking down the streets, you're either on the beach, you're on vacation, you're enjoying yourself, so the name really kind of encompassed that vibe of the feeling we went for.

What are we going to do? We Didn't Leave Enough Wire? Captain Matt here, just wanted to share a tip I learned. When we installed these lights we didn't leave enough wire, we typically leave three to five feet at each light. For whatever reason at this section we didn't leave any extra, so over the course of the last year the wire has come loose. You can see there is too much tension, all I'm doing is cutting these wires and adding a little extender piece and adding about four feet of wire. This will give us a lot of room to hide this wire correctly. https://barefootlighting.com/?p=2671

What we do when replacing existing lighting. Upgrading existing lighting takes more planning and visits than a new install! Find out why. Hey guys Captain Matt here, just want to go over what I do when clients have existing lighting. So some clients already have existing lighting, maybe some of the lights are out, they’re just not great, and they just want us to replace fixtures. Well I don't recommend this, it is something that some people want to do for budget reasons. The reason I don't recommend it is because replacing the fixture, I can't warranty that fixture because we're just using the existing wiring, the existing transformer, we don't know what kind of shape the wire is in underneath the ground, the connection points, etc. However I just want to go over this with you, so as you can see here, well maybe if you can read my mind, but this client has a pool, a hot tub, and a rock wall. So basically I'm just mapping out what they currently have. So in this ...
