You may not have given much thought to your current outdoor lighting solutions, but these lights offer your home or business important protection as the sun goes down. Often outdoor lighting is underutilized and an afterthought. Not only can the right outdoor lighting offer your home or business heightened security, but it also enhances the look of your home or building. Simon Electric is here to talk about the different types of outdoor lighting out there and what the best applications are for each of them.
Outdoor Flood Lights
Flood lights are often used in areas where a large area needs to be well lit. This is why they are a common choice for sporting arenas as well as parking lots. These LED lights are excellent for offer a wide spanning light or a spotlight as well. Before you have a flood light installed on the outside of your home or business, you need to decide how much light you need. If the area is large, consider a high-pressure sodium or a halide security light for the right brightness desired.
LED, Low Voltage & Other Landscape Lights
Looking for a way to add beauty to the landscape design of your home or business after the sun goes down? There are a wide variety of landscape lighting solutions for you. These lights are utilized in both residential and commercial settings as they add appeal to any landscape design. They are made to fit into any design you may have at your home or business and include sconces, and lanterns to help add beauty and security. Some of the most common landscape lights used include:
– Globes
– Spotlights
– LED Light Fixtures
Outdoor Motion Sensor Wall Lights
If you don’t want to have outdoor lights on constantly, but want them to switch on if there anybody is coming up to your home, consider motion sensor lights. The small electronic sensors built into these lights will allow them to appear off unless they notice that there is movement near them. These lights are designed to notice motion only during the night hours and are disabled during the day. When motion is detected, you have the ability to decide how long they stay on after they have noticed movement.
Landscape Spotlights
Spotlights are often chosen when you have elements in your landscaping that you would like highlighted. Businesses will also use them when they want their signage lit up at night as well. These are a little different from flood lights as they will shine a very concentrated beam of light at one particular place rather than spreading their light to cover a large space. You want to avoid too many spotlights so that you don’t attract too much attention at night, but this form of outdoor lighting can add beauty to any landscape design.
