Outdoor lighting transforms your property into a showcase after the sun goes down. It enhances the beauty of your landscape and improves security, creating an inviting atmosphere to entertain and enjoy. Illuminating your outdoor areas also cultivates a sense of community among residents. Whether it’s a block party under twinkling fairy lights or a casual chat on a well-lit stoop, community gatherings around illuminated spaces foster a bond of camaraderie and connectivity that’s a hallmark of our city’s character.
When designing an outdoor lighting plan, consider the type of look you want, any surroundings you’d like highlighted and how bright you’d like your light to be. This will help determine the number of fixtures needed as well as any other features that you’d like to include such as a switch, smart bulbs or dimming controls.
Once you’ve identified your lighting goals, take a close look at your budget and the size of the space you are illuminating. The type of lighting you select will affect the cost, with professional-grade, long-lasting products at the higher end of the price spectrum. Those purchased from a home improvement store or lighting showroom tend to be at the lower end of the price scale.
