When it comes to outdoor landscape lighting, there are many different options for fixtures. These include path lights, wall sconces, step lights, spot lights, flood lights, pole lights and outdoor chandeliers. While many people focus only on lighting the interior of their home, outdoor lighting is also a very important consideration. Not only is it necessary for safety, but it can also improve the curb appeal and ultimately the value of your home.
You can use landscape lighting to highlight the architectural features of your home, as well as trees and other plantings within your yard. Landscape fixtures can remain concealed or become a notable feature themselves, such as lanterns or wall sconces. For an especially modern look, choose fixtures with a sleek profile and modern finishes, such as powder coated metal, brass or aluminum. Choose fixtures with LEDs for energy savings, and be sure to avoid creating unnecessary light pollution.
When lighting your backyard, you should have a combination of patio lighting and landscape lighting. If you have an outdoor dining area, consider an outdoor chandelier. Another great option is to use string or rope lights to define an outdoor lounge area. You can use wall sconces to frame your back door. If your backyard has a path, consider adding path lighting, or use spot lights to uplight trees or bushes.
When lighting your front yard, you should use pathway lighting to light the way to your front door. Frame your front door with wall sconces to make it extra welcoming for your guests. Use spotlights to highlight architectural features of your home’s main facade, such as trim detailing or columns. Finally, consider adding lights to showcase trees or other landscape features within your front yard to create visual interest.
No, there are solar powered fixtures available. They collect light throughout the day via a small solar panel and this allows them to glow at night. Path lights are a common fixture to utilize this technology.
Landscape lighting fixtures should be UL listed for outdoor use. That doesn’t mean they are always waterproof. Certain fixture types such as outdoor chandeliers will need to be placed under a covered area that protects them from the elements.
LEDs are generally the best option when it comes to cost savings and sustainability for outdoor lighting fixtures. You can get LEDs in a variety of color temperatures to best suit your needs.
