Outdoor Lighting
There are so many ways to dress up your outdoor experience at home. Changing your landscape lighting really adds “pop” to your landscaping without breaking the budget. There are so many more benefits on top of aesthetics that you can accomplish such as setting the perfect mood for outdoor entertainment, giving you peace of mind with that added security of deterring unwanted guests, preventing unwanted injuries from lack of seeing, and overall increasing the value of your home with just the right curb appeal.
All of this is possible and affordable by using energy efficient outdoor lighting. There are many popular choices to choose from that can satisfy many different tastes. The most important part in keeping the cost affordable for your outside lighting is making sure you choose fixtures that are Energy Star-labeled. Setting timers or choosing the option of only keeping your lighting on during certain hours in the day will help in keeping your lighting on an affordable budget. Motion sensors are another great way of taking it even a step further, by only having lighting on when needed. The sky’s the limit in using LED bulbs, solar powered lighting, or dimming capabilities.

- A 12V light will help deliver just the right quality of illumination. Knowing how many lights to install all depends on the outcome you want to achieve as well as the area you are looking to illuminate. These lights work best when used for walkways around your home, gardens, flower beds, along your driveway, bordering your patio, or even around the perimeter of your pool.
- Outside lanterns are another great option to bring new life into your yard. These can make a dramatic impact in transforming the backyard into your own little paradise. By adding post lanterns you are able to achieve a relaxing atmosphere for entertaining guests and carrying on the fun into the night.
- LED spotlights are used to emphasize landscape lighting. This lighting has a narrow beam that will focus on exactly what you are wanting. Spotlights are the perfect way to enhance your favorite trees with a dramatic effect that is eye-catching. Another great option for spotlights is to showcase your home without an over lit effect. You are able to completely change the look of your home by dressing it up with this particular low voltage choice of lighting.
- Sconce lighting serves a functional purpose while giving a warm welcome. Wall lights and porch lights highlight the exterior architecture of the home while providing safety to the homeowner. Modern outdoor matching accessories are able to give the perfect curb appeal by completing the look.
Another important, but charming lighting option is to install step lights. These lights are able to be installed near steps and will shine downward to help aid in seeing the steps without blinding you while walking. This is very important in making sure that you are putting your safety at the forefront while still giving that cozy home feeling.
