45 For Jason Sponzilli, a partner of Lighthouse Outdoor Lighting of Northern New Jersey, there has always been something magical about sitting on the patio or the deck when the sun goes down and seeing the lights come on. The lighting establishes a mood and atmosphere that invites you to take in the beauty and the ambience — and he loves creating and sharing that experience with his clients. Jason has been in the green industry most of his career, first working with his family in the landscaping business. That's where he discovered his passion for lighting those landscapes and experiencing their breathtaking, transformative power. From modern and bold to traditional and elegant, Lighthouse's projects are as diverse as their clients' styles. But their landscape lighting services are made for more than just beautifying a home. SPONZILLI LANDSCAPE GROUP / LIGHTHOUSE OUTDOOR LIGHTING FAIRFIELD, NJ Outdoor lighting installations increase the value of a property while highlighting outdoor features like gardens and walkways. Lighting also enhances a home's security and makes it easier to navigate at night by reducing tripping hazards. Lighthouse prioritizes the nightly experience that clients enjoy when fully immersed in custom lighting and designs. From the first phone call to preventive maintenance checks years later, Jason and his team obsess about creating a truly enjoyable process with remarkable results. THIS PAGE AND FACING PAGE: This grand historic estate is lit with careful attention to symmetry, balance, and architectural hierarchy. Narrow-beam uplights accentuate the central portico and second-story pediment, creating a dramatic focal point. Lower- level windows and archways are subtly illuminated to reveal form without flattening the brickwork or overshadowing the home's period details. Soft grazing across ivy-covered walls adds texture and warmth, while maintaining the estate's refined elegance. From the side, the precision of low-glare uplighting, cornice- mounted fixtures, and discreet accent lighting preserves and celebrates the architectural grandeur while maintaining a warm, welcoming ambience. This cohesive, multi-layered lighting approach brings this classic façade to life in a balanced, beautifully restrained way that honors its early 20th-century architectural heritage.
