Discover the Benefits of Installing Landscape Lighting

There is a myriad of different reasons why homeowners and business owners choose to install exterior lighting. Let’s explore just a few.

Safety

Adding lighting to your green space will increase safety after dark. Friends, family, and clients will be able to walk around your yard without tripping or running into obstacles.

Security

Having exterior lighting is also a security measure. Outdoor lights will deter intruders and thieves from entering your property in the first place and allow you to notice problems when they occur.

Aesthetics

Whether you are looking to light up your new water feature or create ambiance, outdoor lighting can improve the appearance of your property in a variety of ways.

What Are the Different Types of Outdoor Lighting

Landscape lighting serves two key purposes: enhancing nighttime security and adding an elegant feel to your yard. With a wide variety of lighting systems available, you can easily select the one that best complements and elevates your property.

Here are some popular options:

  • Path lighting is ideal for illuminating walkways, paths, or driveways, ensuring safe passage.
  • Accent lighting is used to highlight specific landscape features, like trees, plants, or sculptures.
  • Floodlights provide broad beams of light, perfect for illuminating large areas like patios or backyards for security.
  • Deck and step lighting is mounted on stairs, walls, or decks to improve visibility and enhance ambiance.
  • Spotlights are used to focus on a particular feature of your home or garden, such as architectural details or trees.
  • Well lights are installed at ground level to cast light upward, ideal for trees or architectural highlights.
  • In-ground lighting, often used for driveways or paths, involves recessed lights that offer a sleek, modern look.

Halogen vs LED for Outdoor Lighting

All types of outdoor lighting, including path lights, spotlights, and accent lights, can be purchased in either halogen or LED versions.

When deciding between halogen and LED lights for outdoor lighting, consider the following differences:

  • Energy efficiency: LED lights are highly energy-efficient, consuming up to 85% less electricity than halogen bulbs.
  • Lifespan: LED bulbs can last up to 25,000–50,000 hours, while halogen bulbs typically last only 2,000–5,000 hours.
  • Brightness and light quality: Halogen bulbs emit a warm, natural light, while LEDs are available in many color temperatures, from warm to cool, allowing for more versatility.
  • Cost: While LED bulbs have a higher upfront cost, their long-term energy savings and long lifespan can make them more cost-effective over time compared to halogen bulbs.
  • Heat emission: LEDs emit much less heat compared to halogen bulbs, which makes them safer to use and helps prevent overheating, especially in tight spaces.

In most cases, LED lighting is the better choice due to its efficiency, durability, and versatility, but halogen lighting may still be used in situations where a warm, traditional glow is desired.

Where To Place Landscape Lighting on a House

During the planning phase of installation, one of our top priorities is the placement of landscape lighting. Thoughtful positioning can make a significant impact, transforming the overall look and effectiveness of your landscape.

Key areas include pathways and walkways for safer walking, entryways for increased visibility, and architectural features like facades and pillars to add depth and character.

Accent lights around trees, shrubs, or water features can highlight focal points while lighting on decks, patios, and pool areas enhances ambiance and safety during evening gatherings.

Can You Pair Smart Technology With Low-Voltage Landscape Lighting?

Yes, smart technology can be paired with low-voltage landscape lighting. This combination offers convenience, energy efficiency, and full control over your outdoor ambiance.
