Elitco Lighting

Elitco Lighting makes only landscape lighting: fixtures for the path to the front door, the flower beds along it and the trees at the edge of the lawn. Its range includes the Aera and Chanterelle series: Aera is finished mainly in brass and offers bronze as well, while Chanterelle comes only in brass.

Landscape lights do their work after dark. Along a walkway they mark the edge and keep steps safe underfoot; aimed up into a tree or across a wall, they give a garden depth and show off bark and stone. Outdoors, soft pools of light look more natural than a bright flood that turns the garden flat.

Main series

  • Aera: landscape lights, from spotlights to path lights.
  • Chanterelle: path lights 8 to 12 inches wide.

Space path lights so that their pools of light meet rather than overlap, stagger them along a curving path instead of lining them up like a runway, and angle a light aimed at a tree away from windows and from the eyes of anyone walking by. Keep fixtures in a bed clear of mulch and fallen leaves so nothing blocks the light, and set them on a timer so the garden lights up at dusk without a trip outside.

Finishes

Bronze, the darker finish, blends into the planting by day.
