Wall mount lights can add light to various section of the home. They are beautiful and can help increase security.
Outdoor Hanging Pendant Lights
Hanging lights, or also known as pendant, drop, or suspender lights, are used to light up porches, covered patios or decks. As long as there is a roof, hanging lights can be installed. Hanging lights not only bring light to dim areas, but they are also decorative and can improve the home aesthetics. There are a number of different hanging lights you can choose from. One is the chandeliers which are more aesthetic in nature and can make the outside of the home look a bit more elegant. Outdoor fans is another type of hanging lights which are also considered a ceiling mount. Outdoor fans can help bring air circulations to decks, porches, or patios. These fixture are mostly used in the backyard.
Low Voltage, LED & Other Landscape Lighting
Another major exterior lighting option are landscape light fixtures. Landscape lighting can help accent yard features, light up walkways, and more. Landscape lighting, when properly installed, can increase value to a home and add to its nighttime curbside appeal. There are various types of landscape lighting. You can install those that run on an electrical system which can also be connected to a timer so they automatically turn on. Another major type of landscape lighting are those that are solar powered. These light fixtures are growing in popularity as the sun powers them and they will turn on by themselves when the sun sets. However, as they are solar powered, the solar screens will need to be cleaned from time to time to ensure they can absorb enough sunlight to charge the fixture.
