Outdoor Lighting: Essential Tips To Get Started, Fast

Russell Chowdhury July 23, 2020 Reviews Leave a Comment

Whether you’re looking to amp up your home’s curb appeal, host friends and family into the evening hours, or make your home safer and more accessible after dark, outdoor lighting is the finishing touch your home exterior needs to go from unpolished to picture-perfect. Lighting up the night might seem like a challenging project, but getting started is easier than you think.

Plan Your Design

As with most home improvement projects, it’s best to begin with the end in mind as you design your landscape lighting plan. Try taking a walk around your yard at night and consider the features you want to emphasize. Well-lit paths and doorways make any outdoor space more appealing, and landscape features like trees, shrubs, or flowers become sophisticated and elegant with the addition of coordinated lighting. Also make note of whether you need landscape maintenance New City NY before starting on new projects.

Accentuate with Color and Style 

You might have heard the term “color temperature” on LED lightbulbs for indoor use. The same principle applies to outdoor lighting. When you’re picking out bulbs, ask for cooler-toned blue lights in fixtures that illuminate trees and other landscaping, and warmer-toned amber lights in those that light up beige, brown, or brick accents. The fixtures should be designed for outdoor use, match the style of your home, and meet any local association requirements, especially those that require you to cover lightbulbs to avoid shining a light into your neighbor’s home.

Choose Smart and Efficient Equipment

No matter how you want your home’s exterior to look, you can make your lighting system more functional by installing better technology. Besides offering a range of colors beyond those found in fluorescent, incandescent, or halogen bulbs, energy-efficient LED bulbs use 70% less power than any other option, which translates to major electricity savings. Furthermore, LED bulbs can last for several years, minimizing your upkeep.

Exterior lighting may not be the first project you tackle outside, but even the best-kept home is incomplete without it. With a little planning, you can transform your outdoor space into a beautiful, enjoyable, and safe destination for you and your family, any time of the day or night.
