LED Lighting

Efficient, long-lasting low-voltage systems designed for North Texas. Bernardy Lighting plans fixture placement around the home so the finished system feels intentional—not over-lit.

Every project starts with a conversation about the areas you use, the views that matter after dark, and the look you want. We then build and refine the lighting plan around those priorities.

The Smart Choice for DFW Outdoor Lighting

LED technology has transformed outdoor lighting — what used to require high-wattage halogen floods and frequent bulb replacement now runs on a fraction of the power with virtually no maintenance. Bernardy Lighting installs exclusively LED outdoor lighting systems, and we offer LED retrofit services to upgrade older halogen or incandescent landscape lighting to modern, efficient LED fixtures.

DFW’s extreme summer heat creates unique challenges for outdoor LED fixtures. Temperatures regularly exceed 100°F, and fixtures mounted in soffits, on south-facing walls, or in direct sun face thermal stress that cheap LEDs fail under. We specify commercial-grade LED fixtures with proper thermal management — rated for sustained operation in Texas summer conditions without degradation or early failure.

Color temperature matters enormously in outdoor lighting. Our standard recommendation for DFW residential properties is 2700K warm white — the color of incandescent light, warm and flattering against wood, stone, brick, and landscaping. For modern homes with cooler material palettes, we may specify 3000K. We never use 4000K or 5000K daylight LEDs for residential exterior applications — they’re too harsh and make homes look commercial.

LED Outdoor Lighting Solutions

LED Landscape Spotlights

Directional LED fixtures for uplighting trees, shrubs, and architectural features. Adjustable beam angles (10°–60°) let us dial in exactly the right spread for each application.

LED Soffit Recessed Fixtures

Recessed LED downlights core-drilled into soffits and eaves provide clean architectural illumination with zero visible hardware and 50,000+ hour rated lifespans.

LED Path & Area Lights

Low-profile LED path lights and bollards illuminate walkways and driveways with a fraction of the power of halogen equivalents — typically 3–5W versus 20W for the same light output.

LED Retrofit Upgrades

Already have a landscape lighting system but still running halogens? We retrofit your existing fixtures with LED modules or replace entire fixtures — often paying back in energy savings within 18 months.

RGBW Color-Changing LED

Full-spectrum RGBW fixtures let you choose any color or color temperature — warm white for everyday, vivid color for holidays, party modes, and sports events, all controlled from your phone.

Smart LED Systems

Wi-Fi and Bluetooth enabled LED transformers and fixtures that integrate with smart home platforms — schedule, dim, change color, and control zones from your phone or voice assistant.

Benefits of LED Outdoor Lighting

Up to 80% energy savings — modern LED fixtures use 3–8W versus 20–50W for comparable halogen output, dramatically reducing operating costs
50,000-hour rated lifespan — equivalent to 17+ years of nightly operation; no more bulb replacements or maintenance calls
Texas-heat rated — commercial-grade LED fixtures we specify are engineered for sustained operation at DFW’s extreme summer temperatures
Consistent color quality — quality LEDs maintain their color temperature throughout their lifespan; no yellowing or shifting that halogens exhibit as they age
Instant-on performance — LEDs reach full brightness immediately with no warm-up period, unlike HID and some other technologies
Lower total cost of ownership — higher upfront cost versus halogens is recovered in energy savings and eliminated maintenance within 2–3 years

LED Lighting FAQ

Can I retrofit my existing halogen landscape fixtures to LED?

Often yes — many existing halogen landscape fixtures accept LED retrofit modules or can be upgraded by replacing just the lamp. In some cases full fixture replacement is more cost-effective. We assess and recommend the best path for your specific system.

Do LEDs work with my existing low-voltage transformer?

Sometimes — older magnetic transformers may not work optimally with LEDs. Modern electronic transformers are specifically designed for LED loads. We test compatibility and replace transformers as needed to ensure proper LED operation and prevent flicker.

What color temperature is best for outdoor LED lighting?

For residential exterior use, 2700K warm white is our standard recommendation — it’s flattering to virtually every home exterior and landscape, reads as premium and residential, and looks beautiful on camera. We avoid cooler temperatures above 3000K for home applications.

How much will LED lighting reduce my energy bill?

Project pricing is quoted for the current scope, equipment, access, and site conditions. New installation projects generally begin at $2,000.

Are LED outdoor lights affected by DFW’s extreme summer heat?

Consumer-grade LEDs can fail prematurely in extreme heat. The commercial-grade fixtures we specify are rated for high-temperature operation and include proper thermal management — ensuring consistent performance even during DFW’s 100°F+ summer days.
