One of the most impactful decisions in any Calgary landscape lighting design is colour temperature — the “warmth” or “coolness” of the light. Getting this wrong turns a beautiful property into one that looks sterile or over-lit. J.G. Irrigation's lighting designers guide every Calgary client through colour temperature selection as a first step.
LED Colour Temperature Guide for Calgary Landscape Lighting
| Colour Temp | Appearance | Best Use in Calgary |
|---|---|---|
| 2700K (warm white) | Soft golden — similar to incandescent | Recommended for most residential Calgary properties — welcoming and natural |
| 3000K (soft white) | Slightly crisper than 2700K | Good for modern/contemporary homes in Calgary (Crestmont, Springbank Hill) |
| 4000K (neutral white) | Bright clinical light | Commercial only — too harsh for residential Calgary yards |
| 5000K-6500K (cool white) | Blue-white — stadium/security light | Security only, never for decorative Calgary landscape lighting |
J.G. Irrigation installs 2700K fixtures as the default for all Calgary residential landscape lighting — this delivers the warm, inviting kerb appeal that photographs well and feels welcoming to guests.
