Hillsborough County Lighting DesignOutdoor Lighting in Temple Terrace, FL
Tropical Paralights designs and installs outdoor lighting for Temple Terrace homes: permanent roofline lighting, landscape lighting and pool cage lighting, all controlled from one app. With Temple Terrace's oak canopy, the most effective lighting often comes from above, not from the ground.
What Temple Terrace homes look like at night
Temple Terrace is its own city on the Hillsborough River, next to USF. Its historic core has 1920s Mediterranean Revival homes with tile roofs and arches, mixed with mid-century ranch homes on large, shaded lots.
It is known for its huge live oak canopy, which makes moonlighting, mounting lights high in a tree to shine down, a natural fit.
Where most Temple Terrace projects start
Temple Terrace projects usually start with the trees: moonlighting from the oak canopy and gentle light on the facade of the home.

A little clarity
Questions, answered.
What is moonlighting, and does it suit Temple Terrace?
Moonlighting means mounting fixtures high in a tree and aiming them down, so the branches cast shadows on the lawn like moonlight. Temple Terrace's large live oaks are ideal for it.
Can you light a historic Mediterranean Revival home?
Yes. We light the arches, columns and textured walls gently from the ground and keep fixtures small and hidden so they don't distract from the architecture.
What warranty comes with an installation?
Six months on our labor, plus the manufacturer's warranty on the products, which is about one year on most items.
