Depending on where you live, the temperatures of wintertime can start to encompass you before the season has even had a chance to set in. That’s why it’s incredibly important to be prepared, especially when it comes to your outdoor lighting.
Upgrading your outdoor lighting is one of the best ways that you can winterize your home. After all, the chilling months ahead are only going to bring longer periods of nightfall, bitter weather conditions and maybe even a few huge snowfalls.
With these conditions on the horizon, you should start your upgrades rather quickly. Let us help you make your illumination upgrades!
During winter, garden lighting offers homeowners numerous benefits — it’s beautiful to look at, it provides security throughout your property and it accents different garden elements (tree, hedge or statue). Although garden lighting is more of a decorative feature, many people enjoy getting creative with its placement and position within the garden space. Without the appropriate lighting, your garden is merely an inaccessible, black space that disappears as soon as the sun goes down.
Flood lights are the most versatile form of outdoor lighting. They can be placed in front of your home, alongside a path leading into your backyard, or creatively aimed in various directions throughout your garden. These lights are often use for an aesthetic appeal, so that when you glance through your window into your backyard, you’re able to catch a glimpse of the scenery. Needless to say, they are also used for security purposes. Homeowners often place flood lights on the side of their homes pointing into the darkest corner of their property so that they have a full scope of the area.
Probably one of the most recommended forms of outdoor lighting that is encouraged during the winter months is path area lighting. Mainly because it enables your guests to see their way to your doorstep, but also since daylight is becoming scarcer, path lighting will provide you with a little extra illumination as you make your way up the driveway to locate your home’s entrance.
This suggestion probably sounds strange right? The reality is that if your backyard has a pond or even an outdoor pool, LED pond lighting should be an essential purchase before the winter months. It’s incredibly dangerous to venture into your backyard in the dark, or even on snowy days, especially if you’re unable to see where your water source is situated. By illuminating your underwater feature, you’re not only lighting up the backyard with a gorgeous, warm, glowing glow, but you’re taking the proper precautions to ensure that you can be safe in your outdoor space. Just remember to get ahead of the game by installing these top-of-the-line lights before the water starts to freeze.
