Here’s How to Brighten Your Home with Outdoor Lighting
Outdoor lighting boosts curb appeal while making your home safe and functional. Exterior lighting includes patio, security and deck lighting, solar lights, landscape lighting and more, in a variety of fixtures to suit your needs. Multiple lighting solutions work together to enhance and protect your property. Read on for illuminating ideas for your outdoor space.
Outdoor Lighting Fixtures
Exterior light fixtures come in many different styles and can serve multiple purposes. Here are some of the most common types of fixtures and where they really shine.
Security Lighting
Security lighting makes your home less attractive to intruders. A well-lit home draws attention to movement and activity, while a dark one lets would-be intruders operate in relative privacy. Boost your peace of mind with these security light types that come in a variety of styles.
Solar Lighting
Reduce your home’s energy use without compromising on comfort and safety. In sunny spaces, outdoor solar lights are an affordable, eco-friendly alternative to conventional electric lighting. They store energy during the day to power lights at night. Bonus: they’re easy to install, too!
Solar Deck & Fence Lights
Designed to be mounted on deck and fence posts, solar deck and fence lights promote visibility on decks and by stairs and gates. A post cap light is low-key while enhancing alfresco ambience.
Solar Path Lights
Illuminate your garden path, or boost security by the garage – just stake solar path lights into the ground where you need them. Available in numerous styles and finishes.
Solar Garden Lights
Enjoy your garden, even after dark. Even better, many solar garden lights are easily moved so you can showcase different parts of your garden – blooms, blossoming trees, water features – through the year.
Patio & Gazebo Lights
Light up the night for outdoor dining and entertaining. Solar pendants, umbrella lights and lanterns are all great ways to help illuminate a covered outdoor room area.
String Lights
Trendy and atmospheric, whimsical string lights add a festive glow to backyards and patios. Try wrapping fairy lights around a tree or coiling a strand within a glass vase.
Lanterns
Add a warm glow to tabletops, lounge areas or decks and stairs with versatile, portable solar lanterns.
