Good landscape lighting design starts with what the property wants to say at night: the specimen trees worth revealing, the facade lines worth tracing, the paths and steps that need quiet safety light, and the dark areas that should stay dark. We design in layers, uplighting for trees and architecture, path and step lighting for movement, wash and grazing light for texture, and we place fixtures to hide the source and show the effect, so the property glows without anyone seeing where the light comes from. Our landscape and outdoor lighting installation work runs throughout the region: the peninsula estates of Atherton, Woodside, Portola Valley, and Hillsborough; San Francisco's Pacific Heights, Sea Cliff, Presidio Heights, Noe Valley, and Russian Hill; the vineyard properties of Napa and Sonoma; and the coastal gardens of Carmel and Pebble Beach, where salt air makes fixture selection its own discipline.
Architectural lighting controlLandscape lighting is both a design and an electrical-infrastructure project. Regent5 coordinates transformer sizing and placement, low-voltage runs and voltage drop, trenching and conduit, protected circuits, weather-exposed connections, fixture placement, controls, and future service access as one scope. That allows the visual lighting plan and the electrical system behind it to be designed together rather than resolved independently in the field.
Our electrical and engineering workAs a C10 licensed electrical contractor we deliver the complete package as a design build outfit: the professional lighting design, the permit drawings and approvals, and the finished installation, including the line voltage supply and any panel capacity the system needs. One team owns the outcome from the first dusk walk of the property to the final aiming session, so nothing falls between a designer, an installer, and an electrician who have never met.
Start a design build conversationWe design, install, and integrate FX Luminaire fixtures and controls across our landscape work. FX Luminaire's range supports the layered design vocabulary a serious property needs, including uplights, path lights, wash lights, and well lights, with zoning, dimming, and color-capable options for different outdoor scenes. Fixture selection is part of the design conversation, matched to the planting, architecture, exposure, maintenance requirements, and control strategy of the property.
Browse the brands we installWe design and install Coastal Source lighting and audio systems built specifically for life outside, marine grade construction with patented Plug and Play connections that survive decades of irrigation and weather. And for properties where interior light quality should continue past the glass, Coastal Source's Ketra Ready fixtures bring Lutron Ketra full spectrum light outdoors: solid brass Modulus Bullet Lights running Ketra S30 lamps, with a weatherized gateway enclosure keeping them on the home's Lutron system. The color science that makes the living room remarkable follows you onto the terrace.
Ketra full spectrum lightingLandscape lighting reaches its potential when it belongs to the home's control system rather than a timer in the garage. We integrate the landscape into Lutron, Savant, Control4, Crestron, and Vantage systems, so the property follows astronomic schedules through the seasons, joins scenes such as evening arrival and entertaining, and shuts down with the goodnight command from the keypad by the bed. If the home has no automation yet, the landscape system is designed so it can join one later.
Whole home automation platformsThe mark of a professional landscape lighting design is what it does not do: it does not glare into the eyes of a guest walking toward the door, it does not shine into the bedroom next door, and it does not wash out the night sky above the property. Fixtures are aimed and shielded so light stays on your property where it belongs, and dark areas are left deliberately dark, because contrast is what makes the lit elements sing. The goal is a property that glows, not a property that shines. Contact us to walk your property at dusk, where the design conversation happens where the light will live.
Schedule a dusk walk of your property
Yes, and most of our landscape lighting work is on established properties. Low voltage runs route around mature planting with minimal disturbance, and we coordinate with your landscaper or gardener so beds and irrigation are respected. The design conversation starts with a walk of the property at dusk.
Regent5 combines landscape-lighting design with the electrical work required to build and support it. Our C10 electrical and C7 low-voltage scope allows fixture placement, transformers, trenching, conduit, circuits, controls, automation, documentation, and commissioning to be coordinated by one accountable team alongside the landscape architect, designer, builder, and property team.
Yes. We integrate landscape lighting into Lutron, Savant, Control4, Crestron, and Vantage systems so it follows sunset schedules automatically, joins your scenes, and appears in the same app as the rest of the home. If the home has no automation yet, the landscape system is designed so it can join one later.
Deliberately. Fixtures are placed to hide the source and show the effect, aimed and shielded so light stays on your property. The goal is a property that glows, not a property that shines into the bedroom next door.

FOR LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS, DESIGNERS & ESTATE TEAMS
Regent5 can join during design development or construction documents to coordinate fixture intent, transformer and power-supply locations, voltage drop, conduit and trench routes, dedicated circuits, control zoning, service access and commissioning. This keeps lighting infrastructure out of sight while making the finished system easier to program and maintain.
Property-wide zoning, dimming, color capability and integration paths with supported Control4, Crestron and Savant systems.
Premium outdoor lighting and audio strategies that can support a unified indoor-outdoor control story for demanding estate environments.
Landscape and pool lighting coordinated with audio, water features, shades, heaters and whole-property scenes.
Aim, dimming levels, glare control, transitions and scene timing tuned when the lighting can actually be evaluated.
Regent5 now provides personalized smart home consultations, designed to kick-start your project swiftly and efficiently. Simply provide us with your contact information and a brief outline of your interests, and we will pair you with the right specialist for your project.
