In the dead of winter, when the air is cold and crisp, and there is snow all around, you spend a lot more time indoors than out. But before you know it, spring will arrive, and then summer will be right around the corner, knocking on your door. But before those warmer days come, and you start spending more time outdoors, you might want to think about some new landscape lighting ideas to spruce up your outdoor areas at night.
Perhaps you have the prettiest shrubs and specimen trees in the neighborhood, and they look stunning during the daylight hours when the sun is shining bright. But when night falls, the lovely view of your landscape fades into the darkness. There's not much else you can do except go inside for the evening.
There are several different lighting options to choose from, including traditional 120-volt, 12-volt, solar, and LED lights. Of these, the 120v systems pose the greatest risk of injury to those who are untrained or inexperienced with line voltage electrical circuits. A licensed lighting technician or electrician should generally install these 120-voltage systems. On the other hand, low voltage 12v lights, solar, and LED lights can be easily installed by anyone with no special training or tools.
Types of fixtures include lanterns, string lights, pathlights, wall wash lights, bollard lights, bullet lights, floodlights, spotlights, motion detector lights, and well lights.
