Every outdoor lighting design should offer basic visibility. But luxury homes deserve to go a step further. One landscape lighting upgrade we always recommend is silhouetting. This high-end design technique places light behind an object to create a dark, striking outline against a glowing backdrop. In an open space with few walls for framing, this device helps give your space depth and character. 

With silhouetting, you bring a focal point to the flora outside your Philadelphia, PA, home, like Japanese Maples or historic stone garden walls. Create a significant wow factor for evening guests and provide a stunning view from inside your home during the Pennsylvania winter. Why settle for simple floodlights when you can treat your backyard like a private gallery?

As the days warm up, the patio becomes the preferred spot for everything from a morning brew to a late-night hangout. No matter how beautiful your landscaping is, though, you need some added tech to bring people together under the stars. A high-quality TV for outdoor use is a great anchor for any outdoor space. 

At Whitaker Brothers, we’ve spent years helping local residents navigate the climate challenges in Philadelphia and South Jersey. Here is what you can expect from a properly installed outdoor display. 

It’s easy to dream up lounging on the patio to watch the latest Eagles game or enjoying a playlist while splashing in the pool. But once it’s time to actually install an outdoor entertainment system, the doubts creep in. We’ve all had bad experiences, and it’s hard not to harp on them. 

Some clients are worried neighbors will complain about the volume of their speakers. They 

worry about the TV looking washed out during those afternoon game times. For others, the investment doesn’t seem worth it when Philadelphia’s winters and summers make everyone want to bunker down inside. 

These are all genuine concerns. But they’re also all addressable when you work with a professional outdoor entertainment installer. Your technology doesn’t have to be a headache, and your outdoor spaces don’t have to go to waste. 

Philadelphia is defined by the red-brick Federal rowhomes of Society Hill and the expansive stone estates along the Main Line. For many local homeowners, the desire for convenience often creates a difficult dilemma between adding new technology and protecting irreplaceable lath-and-plaster walls. You want the benefits of a smart home, but the fear of damaging hand-carved crown moldings or original masonry is a significant hurdle.

Whitaker Technologies is a whole-home lighting company specializing in invisible retrofits that respect your home’s original craftsmanship while introducing 21st-century control. We use advanced wireless technology to provide the modern functionality you want without the need for invasive rewiring or a major, dusty renovation.
