Great news for environmentally conscious garden lovers: you can light up the night sky in your yard without a guilty conscience by going green with your landscape lighting. Let’s look at a few options for reducing your carbon footprint that are both easy and affordable.
Your first option is to go with a low voltage lighting system. These are much more energy efficient than their high voltage counterparts, and they make your backyard look just as beautiful at a fraction of the energy consumption and cost. You can start by simply converting high energy 120 volt systems to 12 volt systems. At Best Pro Lighting, we specialize in low voltage landscape lighting. We can help you choose just the right options for your home and yard. You will be amazed at the money you will save while reducing energy waste.
No doubt you have seen LED lights for the home. Chances are, you have 3 or 4 in your own place. LED bulbs provide great, efficient lighting to your landscape design as well. LED lights last up to 10 times as long as traditional bulbs. They also use up to one-tenth of the energy of a traditional bulb. We have a whole selection of LED garden lighting options to make your garden a bright and sustainable outdoor room.
Another option is to harness the power of the sun with solar lighting. Solar landscape lighting seems like the perfect way to save money and avoid the hassle of running wire for your lights. If you live in the right area and have just the right landscape, it is. Solar lights run off of solar cells which require direct sunlight in order to charge the batteries in the lights for use at night. When the batteries get a full charge, they will last between 8 and 10 hours. If you have many trees, overhangs, or other obstructions that block these cells from getting their sunlight, the lights won’t last as long. It is also important to note that solar lights will not be nearly as bright as low-voltage lights are. However, if you have the right conditions for them, they are a great alternative for lighting your landscape at night while being environmentally friendly.
In short, there are many ways to illuminate your landscape and still care for the environment. You can choose low-voltage lights, replace some of your regular lamps with LED lights, or go the solar route. Perhaps you even want to combine all of these options in your lighting plan. Whatever you choose, going green is a no brainer: you save money and contribute to a greener planet.
