Patio and garden lighting

Patio and garden lightingPatio and garden lighting can help create a welcoming ambiance around your home and yard. Outdoor lighting serves many purposes and will greatly enhance the nighttime appeal of your outdoor space. When choosing outdoor lighting, there are several aspects to consider. Some of these include:

• Safety is obviously of the utmost importance. Well-lit areas are a proven crime deterrent. Installing appropriate outdoor lighting will add to the safety of your home and neighborhood.
• Lamps and porch lights should provide substantial light. Make sure to use long-lasting light bulbs. There are also long lasting energy efficient light bulbs available that will save you money on your electricity bills because they require less power and last longer.
• Accent lights on your patio and in your garden can add drama or a gentle ambiance.

Advances in technology have added a lot of advantages to the outdoor lighting industry in recent years. With the new energy efficient light bulbs, you save money on utility cost and benefit from not having to change bulbs as often. The new, solar powered garden lights offer an even greater savings. This option harnesses energy from the sun during the day and then stays lit after dark. The length that the lights will stay lit vary depending on the particular model of light; most emit at least several hours of light, other stay lit all night.

There are many traditional forms of accent lights for patio and garden lighting. Some of the most recognizable ones include:

• Chinese lanterns – there are many of these on the market in various styles and sizes.
• Garden lights are often attached to stakes that insert into the ground, these are useful for illuminating a garden pathway. These are often available as solar lights.
• Lampposts can provide a classical option in garden lighting.
• Battery operated hanging lanterns are effective patio lighting.
• Lighting fixtures attached to ceiling fans are effective for covered porches. These require a skilled installer and only work with electricity.

As you select your patio and garden lighting, consider safety, function, price and your personal preferences.
