Economizing Energy to your Outdoor Lighting

Outdoor

energy saving bulbs

lighting can serve several purposes. It can serve aesthetic purposes by

making your home either look warm and pleasing or regal and majestic, depending upon what type of

lights you use and how they’re placed. It can also, naturally, light the way for your family and visitors to

safely navigate their way to and from your house. And it can also serve as a deterrent to criminals,

thereby safeguarding your family, house and belongings.

But before you start obtaining lights, there are some things you should consider.

It's smart to finish all your landscaping before you start installing lights, so that your lighting doesn't end

up being hodgepodge. Also, if you have to do some digging to install any lights, you'll need to know

where your water and sewer or septic lines are. If you must run electrical lines under a sidewalk or

driveway, you'll need to install a cable under them, which probably necessitates hiring an electrician.

You will probably also need an electrician to wire an outdoor receptacle or a switch to control the new

lighting system.

You have a wide assortment of lights to choose from, depending upon your needs.

Path lights are put just above grade level along sidewalks, driveways or landscaped paths to safely

navigate a person. These fixtures are ordinarily set low to the ground to cast a spreading light that is

warm and soft, without glare.

Solar powered path lights are becoming popular because they require any additional wiring or power to

operate and can save on your power bill.

Down lights are normally motion detector

that are set high on the house or garage.

They're pointed downward and are oftentimes used for security purposes. Down lights are very bright

and can create glare, so if you are using them to create natural lighting, you might want to install them

in a tree or shield them so the light is diffused.

Uprights are usually spot lights that are installed at ground level and pointed upward toward an object

you wish to use as a focal point. Depending on how they're placed, uprights can also be useful for

pathways or patios.

Backlight are used to enhance your landscape in artistic way. For example, a backlight might be placed

behind a plant so as to cast a silhouette on a wall to draw focus to the plant. Backlight create drama, but

they should be installed so the fixture isn’t noticeable is.

Specialty

add accent to an area, particularly in the evening. Their aim is to

create a particular mood or atmosphere. Examples of specialty lights include string lights in a gazebo,

patio lights that resemble patio torches or flickering flames, and lights used underwater in order to

emphasize a waterfall or rock bank. You can also create a mirrored effect on the surface of a water

feature by casting light on the area behind the reflecting surface of the water.

Deck lighting can not only create a dramatic effect but can also enhance your decks' safety. You can

highlight and spotlight any changes in elevations, drop-offs, or deck edges, while concealing the light

fixtures beneath railings, beneath benches, or on vertical posts.
