Improve Energy-Efficiency and Increase Ambience<\/strong><\/p>\n Everyone’s been going “green” for quite a while now, so it’s no surprise that the latest advancements in outdoor lighting provide more LED options than ever before. Not only do most homeowners now prefer the cooler tones produced by LED lighting, they last far longer than traditional incandescent lighting. Research has shown that, in a residential setting, LED lighting lasts up to 25 times longer and uses 75% less energy. And you’re not limited by design or function, either; LED options are now available for landscape lighting, spotlights, accent lighting, and more.<\/p>\n It’s All In The Timing<\/strong><\/p>\n Lighting that operates on a timer is not only convenient, but it also can save on energy costs. If you’d rather not concern yourself with manual operation, timed lighting is a homeowner’s dream come true when it comes to your home’s exterior. Motion-activated lighting is also a time-tested method of adding security to your home. If any unwanted guests visit your property, whether of the human or wildlife variety, they’ll instantly be encouraged to leave the premises.<\/p>\n Options That Illuminate\u2026 And Entertain<\/strong><\/p>\n If you frequently enjoy outdoor entertaining during the warmer months, consider outdoor lighting that brightens your seating areas far into the evening! Of course, you’ll want to light up your porch or patio, but also consider adding lighting options throughout green spaces, around fountains, directed toward fire pits or fireplaces, or any other areas in which you plan to entertain guests that make them feel cozier and more secure.<\/p>\n
