There are several purposes that lighting your home or business at night fulfills – security being one of the most important. Designing and installing beautiful designs not only extends your home’s curb appeal into the night, but also discourages criminals from coming onto your property as they are no longer under the cover of darkness. With your home’s increased security in check, you can peacefully enjoy the aesthetics of your outdoor lighting on you patio, deck, around your pool, and other spaces after sunset.
On the practical side, outdoor lighting helps you see where you are walking at night or helps create an air of hospitality. It helps you see if there are any abrupt changes in elevation or hazards that could cause you or your visitors injury from an accidental fall. There are many things to consider when designing a lighting system that helps promote safety for you and your guests. One of the most important things is light placement. Lights must be positioned so they do not shine directly into the eyes of the homeowner or their visitors. The more subtle the lighting, especially when illuminating pathways, the more effective. A light too bright can cause glare and actually cause more hindrance than good.
A properly designed lighting system can also be instrumental in providing a sense of security for you and your home. In fact, the number one reason most homeowners decide to install outdoor lighting is to help protect their home from burglars or other trespassers. Many poor lighting designs have been installed in the name of “security.” Most people think that bright outdoor lighting will help make their home safer from thieves, but statistics show that bright lighting actually causes an increase in theft as poorly done lighting can cause shadows that provide cover for potential thieves.
Using lower light levels is considered the most effective way to provide security for your home. Lights installed for safety and illumination will provide good low-contrast lighting to help protect your home. Properly installed, low-contrast lighting will help eliminate shadows, plus make it easier for your eyes to adjust to seeing in the dark.
Not only can a properly designed outdoor lighting system help with the security and safety of your home, its most dramatic effect is how it increases the aesthetics of your home. An outdoor lighting system can completely change the way you view or utilize your home after the sun goes down. Outdoor lighting can expand your living space by illuminating patios, decks, yards, and garden areas making them usable anytime of day, or it can simply add beauty to your home making it more appealing to visitors. A good lighting plan can help you entertain guests outside and prolong recreational activities after dark. Well placed lights can enhance any landscaping design. Outdoor lighting can bring out the hidden beauty of shrubs, trees, flower beds, and even the architecture of your home. There are many techniques that can be used to enhance all aspects of your home.
