Low Voltage Landscape Lighting in Naples, Florida
Timeless nightscapes—designed with intent, engineered for coastal durability, installed with discipline.
Outdoor lighting should feel effortless: warm, refined, and quietly powerful. It should highlight architecture without glare, bring depth to planting, guide guests safely, and make your property feel composed long after sunset. When it’s done right, lighting doesn’t look “added”—it looks like it belongs.
At Knaak Design Group, we design and install low voltage landscape lighting in Naples, FL, with a focus on architectural illumination and garden artistry: entries, pathways, driveways, specimen trees, layered planting, outdoor living rooms, and refined accent moments throughout the property. We keep audio available as an optional enhancement, but lighting is the craft—and the priority—on this page.
Trusted in Naples since 2005, our work is guided by the same standard that defines every Knaak project: detailed workmanship, timeless aesthetic restraint, and low-maintenance performance built for Southwest Florida conditions. Our team includes degreed, Registered Landscape Architects and we deliver work with licensed building contractor oversight, so your lighting is designed with an architect’s eye and installed with construction-grade accountability.
Serving Naples and select communities including: Port Royal, Old Naples, Aqualane Shores, The Moorings, Park Shore, Pelican Bay, Grey Oaks, Quail West, Mediterra, Fiddler’s Creek, and Marco Island.
Luxury Landscape Lighting Design in Naples
A great lighting plan doesn’t start with fixtures—it starts with how you want the property to feel at night. Our approach is people-first: we design lighting around real use (arrival, entertaining, relaxing, security) while shaping beauty through contrast, shadow, and layering.
We illuminate architecture with restraint and precision—enhancing form and texture without harsh hotspots.
Common architectural lighting applications:
-
Facade and elevation highlights to add depth and presence
-
Column and entry lighting for a refined arrival experience
-
Feature walls, outdoor rooms, pergolas, and covered living areas
-
Subtle lighting that complements—not competes with—interior light

Landscapes come alive after dark when planting is lit intentionally. We focus on layered effects that feel natural and elevated.
Garden lighting options include:
-
Specimen tree uplighting to create canopy drama
-
Layered lighting through palms, hedges, and foundation planting
-
Texture-focused illumination (bark, stone, foliage)
-
Subtle accents that create dimension without visual clutter
Planting and Garden Accent Lighting

Walkways and garden paths

Driveway edges and motor courts

Entry sequences that feel welcoming, not overlit

Outdoor living lighting includes:
-
Patio and dining lighting with warm, inviting levels
-
Fire feature and water feature accents
-
Pool area perimeter lighting (tasteful, not theatrical)
-
Layered scenes for entertaining vs. quiet evenings
Outdoor Living Lighting
Coastal-Grade Systems Built for Naples Conditions
Certified Coastal Source® dealer + systems engineered to “defy the elements”
In Naples, lighting systems face relentless exposure: salt air, moisture, heat, storms, fertilizers, and irrigation overspray. Product quality matters—but system integrity matters more. That’s why we specify and install coastal-grade solutions designed specifically for harsh outdoor environments.
Knaak Design Group is a certified dealer for Coastal Source® lighting products, selected because the brand is engineered for demanding exterior conditions and built as a full system—not a collection of parts. Coastal Source emphasizes that its products are designed to perform in harsh environments such as salty air, extreme temperatures, and other outdoor exposure.
The reliability difference: connections and cabling
Most outdoor lighting failures don’t start at the fixture—they start at the connection. Coastal Source states that the #1 point of failure in electrical systems is the connection, and addresses this with its patented Plug+Play™ cabling system using Coastal Connectors and Coastal Mini Connectors for strong, fully weatherproof connections.
Coastal Source also notes that its CC/CMC cables use marine-grade tinned wire, designed to withstand moisture and heat—similar to wiring used in marine environments.
What that means for you: a system engineered to stay reliable so homeowners aren’t forced into expensive service calls or premature replacements simply because the “weak link” failed.
Built with integrity—fixtures designed as a complete system
Coastal Source describes its landscape lighting as “built with integrity” and highlights decades of industry experience plus real-world and laboratory testing behind its system approach.
Their FAQ also notes that fixtures are designed as a system—from transformer to cabling to the final fixture—and that many fixtures are solid brass and use efficient low-voltage LED technology.
We don’t install lighting as an afterthought. We design lighting as infrastructure—cleanly planned, properly installed, and built for long-term performance in Naples.
Smart Control and Energy-Efficient LED Lighting
Low voltage LED lighting is both elegant and practical: efficient, long-lived, and flexible for layered design. We incorporate controls that make your lighting easy to live with—scenes, timers, and convenient adjustments that support daily use without constant tinkering.
Common client goals we design for:
-
“Welcome home” arrival scenes
-
Entertaining scenes with layered patio + garden lighting
-
Subtle security lighting without harsh glare
-
Seasonal adjustments for sunset changes

Optional Outdoor Audio (kept intentionally secondary)
If you want music outdoors, we design audio to be discreet and integrated—supporting entertaining without sacrificing aesthetics. Most clients prefer to focus budget and visual attention on lighting first; audio is an optional enhancement once the nightscape is resolved.
