« Change a Light… Save the World Saving the Night »

hadco exterior light It is spring and time to start planning your outdoor landscaping projects. We at Starry Night Lights can help. The addition of landscape lighting often completes your landscaping and provides illumination for spending relaxing evenings outdoors. Outdoor lights will accentuate the beauty of your yard’s landscapes and can even be neighbor friendly.

It is important to consider a number of factors when lighting your exterior landscape. After all, your garden, lawn, driveway, walkway and other exterior elements are very much an extension of your home, and they should be properly lit in order to show the home in the best possible light. It is also important that your exterior lighting plan include both practical factors and aesthetic considerations.

To begin, only areas in your garden that needs to be showcased should be lit. It would be a waste of precious energy if your entire garden is always light and bright. Lighting the entire yard might even detract from the desirable focal points.

People’s attention should be on the view and not on the lights. Lighting however, may comprise an important part of your yard’s landscape if they complement the design. Thus, finding the right color, brightness and type of light for your landscape is necessary. Otherwise, landscape lighting may not be a true benefit.

Brighter is not better. Less can be more when it comes to lighting the landscape; it is important to use subtle lighting and avoid over-lighting. The brightness of landscape lights should just be enough to make the view of your property relaxing. They should be soothing to the eyes yet sufficient so as to highlight the appropriate areas.

Be sure to discuss with your landscape architect or electrician the pros and cons of 12v landscape lights versus 120v landscape lights. Each has its place though low voltage landscape lighting seems to be more common. There are also many more low voltage landscape lights to choose from, so you may have an easier time finding the right fixture.

Finally, investing a bit more on efficient landscape lights will ultimately be more rewarding for both you and your neighbors.
