SERVICES / OUTDOOR LIGHTING

Outdoor Lighting That
Shines After Dark.

FSI designs and installs landscape and architectural lighting for Puget Sound homeowners who want their outdoor space to look right and function well every hour of the day.

the difference

Most Outdoor Lighting Is an Afterthought.
Yours Does Not Have to Be.

String lights on a nail are not outdoor lighting. The right lighting plan extends your outdoor season by hours, makes the space safer, and makes everything you built look the way it was meant to look after the sun goes down.

The Element

The Right Lighting Keeps
People Outside After Dark.

A covered pergola and a finished kitchen do not stop being useful at sunset. The right combination of structural lighting, landscape lighting, and entertainment zone lighting turns your outdoor space into a room that works every hour you want to use it, in October the same as July.
WHAT WE BUILD WITH

Lighting Specified for
Pacific Northwest Conditions.

Saturated soil, sustained moisture, and freeze-thaw cycles destroy standard landscape fixtures from the inside out. FSI specifies lighting systems built to handle all of it.

BUILT FOR WET, HIGH-MOISTURE ENVIRONMENTS

Architectural and Landscape Fixtures

Your landscape lighting should still work in your tenth year.

Standard low-voltage fixtures corrode from the inside out in saturated Puget Sound soil. Water wicks up through the wire into the socket and destroys the LED module. FSI specifies FX Luminaire and Dauer Manufacturing fixtures because both are engineered specifically to stop that failure mode.

You get fixtures that hold up through Pacific Northwest winters and perform the same way in year five as they did on install day.

ASTRONOMICAL CLOCK INTEGRATION

Lighting Automation

Your lighting should work without you thinking about it.

The right lighting system does not require a button press every evening. FSI installs the FX Luminaire Luxor controller, which manages every lighting zone on an astronomical clock.

Lights ramp up at sunset, shift color temperature by zone, and adjust scenes without manual input. Everything integrates with your existing smart home system so your outdoor lighting is part of the same interface you already use indoors.

WHAT YOU ACTUALLY GET

What FSI Covers on Every
Outdoor Lighting Install.

Every outdoor lighting install FSI completes covers the full scope. Here is what that includes.

01 · BENEFIT

Built Into the Space.

LED recessed and strip lighting installed inside the pergola structure during construction. No surface-mount fixtures. No exposed runs. The lighting looks like it was designed in because it was.

02 · BENEFIT

Path and Accent Lighting. Placed to Plan.

Low-voltage path lighting, uplighting, and accent fixtures placed according to a CAD-based landscape lighting plan. FSI coordinates with your landscape plan so the light placement works with your plants, hardscape, and property layout.

03 · BENEFIT

Every Zone Controlled From One App.

Every lighting zone integrated with your existing smart home system. Lutron, Control4, Savant, Crestron. Scheduled scenes, astronomical clock automation, and dimming control from the same app you already use. The lights come on at sunset without a button press.

04 · BENEFIT

One Team Handles the Full Scope.

FSI coordinates structural lighting, landscape lighting, and smart home integration from one proposal. No AV sub who does not know how the structure was wired. One team owns every run from the panel to the fixture.

Why FSI

Most Contractors Do One Thing.
FSI Can Manage Them All.

From the first site visit to the final walkthrough, FSI manages every trade and every detail of your outdoor space.

01 / 03

The Complete Design-Build.

Most contractors build one piece of the space. FSI can design and build the entire outdoor room — pergola, kitchen, screens, heaters, lighting, and AV — as one cohesive system, coordinating with vetted contractors if needed.

02 / 03

One Point of Contact. Start to Finish.

No contractor coordination. No missed handoffs. No blame-shifting when something does not fit. FSI manages every trade, employs the people doing the work, or subs out to vetted partners.

03 / 03

Deep Local Roots. Proven Track Record.

FSI has been operating in this market since 2005. This climate, these jurisdictions, these materials. Not a new dealer figuring it out. A team with over 340 completed projects.
