How To Use Outdoor Lighting

The 3 aspects of lighting - accent, ambient and task - apply to outdoor lighting just as they do for indoors illumination. But the way they're used will be very different.

Where an interior room angle is, say, 90 degrees the outside corner is also thought of as 90 degrees. But, measured the same way, it's basically 270 degrees. That difference produces only one of many wrinkles implicit in an out of doors lighting scheme. Add to that the presence of bushes, trees, few if any enclosed hallways or spaces and you've got a decidedly different environment to illuminate.

Deep shadows produced by bushes, nooks, trashcans and other common outside home features present a challenge. Place them on both corners of a wall, angled inward and there will be very few places for potential home invaders to hide.

All of the above may be categorized under the title of ambient lighting. Clearly, though, the outdoor scheme is completely different than providing general room illumination indoors.

But home protection isn't the sole reason to add lights to the out of doors. Convenience can be crucial, too. That is where task lighting comes into play.

You drive up onto the drive then walk up to your front door. That journey might be adequately illuminated by street lights. But trees, agricultural districts and other considerations may make them be absent or insufficient. Finding keys and the front door lock can be annoying without good coverage of the walkway and entrance. So, task lights that give acceptable light to the drive, walkways and front door become important.

There are times when you will need to do minor repairs when it's dusk or dark. Dusk may be the single time you've got to finish a chunk of garden. Good task lighting can provide you with permanent or mobile solutions.

But when folk think about outside lighting, accent lights are sometimes uppermost in mind.

Tiny solar-powered lamps have become a frequently selected option, and for good reason. Solar lawn lights allow for wire-free, simple installation that never needs batteries.

Wall accents are another often found feature of out of doors lighting schemes, thanks to their ability to provide focus. Little indirect spots can give a home that 'looks like a quality TV commercial' touch. Out of doors wall sconces come in a hundred different designs. That makes it easy to integrate them with the rest of the home design or add decorative accents that suit any individual taste.

Invest in outdoor lighting and you'll be more secure, walk and work with confidence, and add a gorgeous illuminated look to your home.
