Stunning Outdoor Lighting for Twin Cities Homes

Add safety and curb appeal to your property with smart outdoor landscape lighting by In-Focus Systems. The answer to the following questions is “Yes!” Learn why below.

Is Outdoor Lighting Necessary?

As twilight deepens into night, outdoor lighting transforms from a mere convenience into an essential design element. While basic flood lights ward off intruders and prevent stumbles on dark paths, thoughtful exterior illumination reveals your home's hidden character.

You can see the graceful curve of an archway, the texture of natural stone, or the dancing leaves of a prized maple tree in exciting, brand-new ways.

Well-planned outdoor lighting expands your living space into the evening hours beyond the simple patio light or string lights. Turn unused patios into a starlit dining room or make dark gardens enchanting nighttime retreats.

Aesthetic Appeal

Aesthetic Appeal

Reveal the beauty of your Minnesota or Wisconsin exterior spaces once the sun goes down. The fun doesn’t need to end simply because it’s dark. Strategically placed fixtures turn ordinary features into dramatic focal points. Your backyard will become an irresistible nighttime presence you’ll love returning to each and every day.

Highlight Architectural Fixtures

See your home's character emerge as darkness falls. Strategic lighting makes dormers cast dramatic shadows, turns columns into elegant sculptures, and lets architectural details tell their story in an entirely new way.

Creating Ambiance in Outdoor Spaces

Step into your own private retreat as night falls. Your patio becomes an intimate dining room, and your pool glows like a resort oasis. Even garden pathways invite evening strolls under softly lit tree canopies. .

Enhance Curb Appeal

Become the neighborhood's evening showpiece as other houses fade into darkness. Yours remains a captivating presence that draws admiring glances and enhances property value. We partner with brands like WAC Lighting and Diode LED to bring the most innovative yet beautiful lighting technologies to your property.

Improved Functionality

Manage settings at your fingertips. Host a party with or return home late without stumbling through the dark. Use a mobile app, a voice command, elegant wall controls, and smart remotes.

Safety & Security

Safety & Security

Step confidently into your outdoor spaces after dark in St. Louis Park and beyond. As dusk settles, your carefully planned lighting system awakens to turn shadowy corners into welcoming spaces.

Intruder Deterrence

Your whole St. Louis Park home becomes a gentle fortress of light. Watch as unwanted visitors, whether curious deer or potential trespassers, avoid your well-lit spaces and choose darker pathways elsewhere.

Enhanced Surveillance

See every detail with crystal clarity, day or night. When something moves on your property, smart lighting springs to life instantly, aiding your security cameras to capture everything in perfect detail.

Better Visibility

After dark, move through your outdoor spaces with grace and ease. Garden paths become ribbons of soft light guiding your way while brightened entrances welcome you and your guests.

Impression of Occupancy

Keep your home alive with light, even when you're away. Your lighting system mimics your natural patterns. Lights dim and brighten in different areas, indoors and out, to create an authentic lived-in appearance that makes your house feel occupied.

Wall Lights

See your exterior walls become dramatic canvases after dark. Carefully chosen fixtures paint outdoor spaces with light and shadow. Create intimate spaces or jaw-dropping focal pieces that invite your guests to linger outside longer.

Hanging Lights

Transform ordinary patios and gazebos into magical evening retreats. Like suspended stars, elegant fixtures create intimate dining spaces or conversation areas that draw people together after sunset.

Pathway Lighting
Watch as darkness transforms into a welcoming journey. Elegant lights nestled along your walkways create rivers of soft illumination that turn every evening walk into a graceful experience.
Security Lights

Enjoy the peace of mind that comes with total home security. Powerful yet artfully placed fixtures create a protective dome of illumination around your property, naturally steering unwanted visitors away while making you feel completely secure.

Is Smart Control Essential?

Step beyond basic switches. Smart outdoor lighting controls transform static lights into dynamic scenes that flow with your evening. Each fixture responds naturally to the time of day, automatically turning on at dusk or off at sunrise. 

Instead of walking around your property to adjust multiple fixtures, transform your entire yard and entertainment areas from anywhere! Create intimate dinner settings, activate security modes, or set lights to mirror your daily patterns with a simple button tap.

The magic happens when your lights anticipate your needs, automatically adjusting to seasonal changes and special occasions while giving you intuitive control from your phone or elegant wall panels.
