Landscape Lighting in Chicago: One System for Your Roofline and Your Yard

The Landscape Fixtures We Install

Eight fixture types cover most of what a typical Chicagoland property needs:

• Bistro Landscape Lights — warm string lighting for patios, pergolas, and outdoor dining
• Can Light — discreet soffit and eave lighting that washes siding in even light
• Large Spotlight — high-output uplighting for facades, gables, and taller trees
• Paver Light — in-ground fixtures that mark walkways and patios flush with the hardscape
• Pillar Light — freestanding column lights for entries, porches, and driveways
• Step Light — low-profile lighting that outlines stairs for safety and style
• Tree Light — ground-stake spotlights that uplight trunks and canopies
• Witch Hat Light — classic path lighting for garden beds and walkways

Why It's the Same System, Not a Separate One

A lot of outdoor lighting companies run landscape fixtures off a completely different transformer and app than their architectural lighting — different brightness, different color engine, sometimes a different installer entirely. TruLight's landscape fixtures run on the same 48-volt platform as our roofline system: true RGBW color (six LEDs per node — three RGB and three dedicated warm white, not a software approximation), the same 100,000+ hour-rated LEDs, and the same lifetime transferable warranty.

In practice, that means a paver light along your front walk and a fixture mounted under your soffit are built to the same standard and controlled the same way — not two different products that happen to be installed by the same company. It also means the same everyday fixtures can switch straight to holiday or game-day colors with a tap in the app, no rewiring or bulb-swapping required.

Everyday Warm White, Holiday, or Game Day — One Tap Away

Every fixture pictured above is shown in its everyday warm-white setting. Because they run true RGBW, the same fixtures shift to full color the moment you tap a scene in the app — red and green for the holidays, your team's colors on game day, orange and purple for Halloween — then back to warm white the next morning.

One App, Zoned by Area

The TruLight app controls the whole property, split into zones — roofline, columns, landscape — and each zone runs independently. That means your landscape lighting can stay a steady warm white while your roofline runs a holiday scene, or every zone can sync into a single scene for a whole-property look on game day or during the holidays.

It's the same reason a per-zone system is worth having in the first place: your landscape and your architecture don't always need to match, but when you want them to, it's one tap, not two separate apps and two separate remotes.

Add It Now, or Add It Later

Because landscape and roofline lighting share the same platform, you don't have to decide on everything at once. Plenty of homeowners start with roofline lighting and add landscape zones later — or the other way around — without replacing any existing hardware or switching apps.
