Lighting for Safety
The other purpose of your outdoor lights is to provide safety and security around your home. A well-lit exterior will allow family members and guests to safely approach and enter your home, and give you peace of mind when you’re gone for the evening. Adequate lighting can also deter trespassers and intruders, and you can set timers and sensors to turn on certain lights when someone or something enters your property.
Tips to Choose Outdoor/Patio Lighting
Consider the Purpose
Think about how you’ll use your outdoor space. Will it be primarily for entertaining, dining, or relaxing? Choose lighting that enhances these activities, such as task lighting for dining areas or ambient lighting for relaxation.
Assess Lighting Levels:
Layer your lighting to create a balanced atmosphere. Use a combination of ambient (overall), task (specific), and accent (decorative) lighting to achieve the right level of illumination.
Durability Matters
Select fixtures that are weather-resistant and designed for outdoor use. Look for materials that can withstand the elements while complementing your patio design.
Schedule a Lighting Consultation
Reach out to professionals for a personalized lighting consultation. They can help assess your outdoor space, recommend solutions based on your needs, and show you what styles work best for your vision.
