Outdoor Lighting Ideas

Lights have hundreds, maybe thousands, of year-round uses. With summer quickly approaching, we thought we’d share some uses for lighting outdoors. Light your deck parties! String lights add just the right touch of ambiance to your social gatherings on the deck, and do not attract all the bugs that other lighting sources might. You can wrap the perimeter along the bottom of the decking as well as the railing to make things brighter, or choose either/or for a more subtle glow. Rope lighting can be the perfect addition to landscaping. Simply outline your mulch with rope light. There are several colors to choose from, and rope light can be sectioned off every three foot if necessary, easily integrating into your current landscape design. Perimeter light is another way to illuminate your outdoor surroundings. Perimeter lighting can be done with rope light or string lights. Line the entire perimeter of your home (at the foundation, the roofline or both if you choose) to add a spectacular glow to your outdoor space. Are there other ways you utilize lighting outdoors? Let us know! We would love to hear your imaginative lighting uses, and share them with other fans.
