Lighting Sets the Tone for Your Outdoor Space
Light is not just light when setting a mood in your outdoor areas. With so many shapes, sizes, and styles available, how do you know which ones are right? Lighting is also something that does not fit into a one size fits all category. Nothing adds the flair to nighttime curb appeal like a well-lit and dramatically set landscape or soft tones for mood on a new deck.
It is so much more than just a way to not be in the dark. The right amount can give us more energy and improve how we feel. It can affect our appetite, concentration, and demeanor. The color temperature, measured in Kelvin units, can dramatically affect our surroundings.
Warm ones can make an environment relaxing, while cold ones can make it more stimulating. Blue can suppress the melatonin your body produces, which is the hormone that makes us sleepy.
These are some of the most popular landscape lighting options.
Spotlights and Floodlights
To the naked eye, these appear to be the same. The difference is in how the beam of light is spread. Floodlights typically shine a wider beam and are best suited for larger areas like driveways. Spotlights have a much narrower beam, are used best to highlight a specific landscape feature. Both can be set on timers and motion-activated sensors.
Pathway Lighting
If you want to create a dramatic entrance to your house, highlight a paver path in the backyard, or spruce up the mundane outskirts of a driveway, then path lighting should be on your list of must-haves. Styles can range from utilitarian to artistic and with prices up to the $500 per light range. This light should be weather resistant and enhance the design of your home. Our experts will look to place these 5-8 feet apart for the best effect and an optimal height of 14 inches. Solar power is an excellent option for power.
Lanterns
For old-world charm and a rustic setting, lanterns are cost-effective to enhance your outdoor space. They don’t need much space for installation and can complement the architectural design of patios, pergolas, and outdoor living areas. They provide a softer accent that doesn’t distract from other backyard features. Solar power is one of the popular options.
Deck And Step Lights
These are usually built into structures during construction. They are often used to accent a particular feature and make stairs more manageable.
