Lighting is a key component to any outdoor living space and patio lights are no exception. Whether you are hosting intimate dinner parties or lively gatherings, proper patio lighting ideas are essential to setting the right mood and ensuring safety for all who enter your backyard. At Higher Ground, we believe in the power of outdoor lighting and are here to help you create a well-lit oasis that is both functional and visually appealing.
When choosing the perfect light source for your patio, there are a few factors to consider including brightness, color and design. Brightness is important because it dictates how much area your lights will illuminate, but it also plays a role in the overall look of the space.
For example, warm white lights produce a more welcoming glow than cool white which can feel stark and clinical. Color is another factor to consider because it can affect the mood and ambiance of your patio. Changing the colors and scenes on your smart light system is easy with our easy smartphone controls, giving you the freedom to choose the best ambiance for every occasion.
Design and Installation
There are several ways to hang your patio lights depending on the style you want to achieve and the location of your home. For example, if you are creating a lighting display around your patio furniture or deck railings, using hooks placed every 3-4 feet is an effective method for creating full coverage illumination. Another option is to use a guy wire to anchor your light strings and then simply connect the male end of one string to the female end of the next in a zig zag pattern or using the horizon point technique.
