What to Consider When Selecting Outdoor Lighting for Your Home

When it comes to lighting up a home, many of us usually give priority to indoor lighting fixtures e.g., chandeliers and standing lamps. However, we don’t put much consideration into choosing the outdoor light fixtures. That’s because we use the interior of our house more than the outdoor areas.

Nevertheless, outdoor lighting is equally essential for your abode just like indoor lights. That is because outdoor lights illuminate the exterior and help to provide better vision during the night to walkways and entryways. Furthermore, picking the proper outdoor lighting can transform your backyard or lawn, and improve your home’s curb appeal.

In this article, we’re going to discuss what you should consider when choosing outdoor lighting.

  1. Opt for Big Light Fixtures, But Not Too Large

If you have a wide space outside your home, you might be tempted to put large lighting fixtures. However, in many cases, installing outdoor lights that are too big spoils the look of your residence. For doorways, use a fixture that goes only about a quarter of the entryway, so that you do not block the way. Medium lighting fixtures are usually the best option, since they will not appear over-the-top and will focus the light.

  1. Colour

Similar to the indoor lights, you do not want to colour clash the lighting with your walls. Your lights should complement the appearance of your outside walls and landscape. Manufacturers of high quality lighting fixtures offer a variety of resources that can help you find items that match your landscape setting. Just like proper landscaping and lawn care, the correct fixture can enhance the overall look of your home.

  1. Your Home’s Style

It’s essential to consider the general look and style of your house before choosing your outdoor lighting. For instance, Carriage style lighting might be excessive for an English bungalow. So, select outdoor lights that suit the theme of your home.

  1. Durability

When selecting outdoor lights, you need to consider the durability. That’s because outdoor lights must have the ability to bear the constant wear and tear, and harsh weather. Some outdoor lighting fixtures are designed to last for just a few weeks whereas some are made to withstand specific weather elements. Choose something that can withstand harsh weather conditions and other things that might stumble over them.

  1. Consider Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs)

Fluorescent and incandescent bulbs appear brighter; therefore, many people usually consider them for outdoor lighting. However, you might want to consider LEDs instead for numerous reasons. For starters, they don’t use much energy, so you will not break the bank paying your energy bill. Secondly, they are more durable; you might not even have to replace them. Thirdly, they look amazing in the yard.

  1. Wattage

Low wattage has for long been preferred when selecting outdoor lighting fixtures, because most of them are just for practical or decorative purposes. But, sometimes more light is required, e.g., in darker areas. Therefore, it’s essential to pick fixtures based on your personal needs.

Outdoor lighting gives your residence extra light at night or dusk. They provide exceptional ambience, but it’s vital to consider the above factors to find the proper outdoor lighting type. If you need more ideas on outdoor lighting fixtures, please check out Marshall Industrial Supplies.
