Outdoor lighting is one of the easiest, most cost-effective ways to add beauty and security to your home. Weather-resistant fixtures are available to highlight landscape features, provide security at a door or dark area, or allow you to enjoy your patio or garden into the evening. Outdoor lighting also comes in a variety of styles to complement your home's decor. Understanding the outdoor lighting styles that work best for each site will help you choose the most appropriate light for your garden, yard or deck.
PATH LIGHTS
Install path lights along the walkway from your driveway to your entry doors to ensure a safe walk for you and your guests.
Solar powered path lights mean you don't have to worry about remembering to turn on the lights before you leave the house.
FLOOD LIGHTS
Flood lights offer the benefit of safety and security when lighting a stairway, dark garage or entry. They help discourage intruders and light the way for you and your family when you return home after dark.
Position flood lights at least 9 ft. off the ground so they cast a wide cone of light and are not easily accessed.
Add motion sensors and timers to customize when and how lights turn on and off.
WALL & CEILING LIGHTS
Add wall and ceiling lights to the outside of your home to highlight architectural features, illuminate your door or porch, and make guests feel welcome.
A variety of styles are available to complement your home and create a different atmosphere in your front and back yards.
Use coordinating collections of lights to carry your style throughout your home's exterior.
POST LIGHTING
Create the perfect atmosphere for a party or the perfect ambiance for a romantic evening with post lighting around a patio or pool.
Post lighting along your driveway can add style while welcoming visitors.
WALKWAY LIGHTS
Usually mounted on stakes or posts, walkway lights are perfect for illuminating paths and steps.
With a variety of styles including hat, mushroom and pagoda, you will find one to enhance your home's exterior while making your entry safer.
Stagger lights on either side of the walkway to avoid the airport runway effect.
DECK LIGHTING
Easy-to-install lighting mounted directly into your deck can illuminate stairs, benches and railings, making your deck safer for nighttime enjoyment.
Flush-mounted lights installed in the decking are designed to be walked on without damage.
WELL & SPOT LIGHTS
Install well lights, spot lights or up lights around flowers, shrubs and trees to highlight their beauty at night and give a sense of depth to landscaping.
Look for weather-sealed lights to ensure long-lasting beauty.
