Great Outdoor Lighting Tips

One of the best ways to take advantage of the beautiful weather is to enjoy the beautiful outdoors in your lovely outdoor room. By adding the right type of exterior lighting, you can take outdoor interior lighting to a whole new level.

As with indoor space lighting, outdoor space lighting can be simple, convenient, and affordable if done right. Here's some helpful information and simple tips for turning an ordinary outdoor room into a truly beautiful outdoor living experience.

There are many ways to enhance your outdoor room with unique lighting. For example, you can enhance your outdoor space by installing a unique statement piece like a chandelier. It's not suitable for every outdoor room, but if you have high or sloped ceilings, it might accentuate the feature.

Different kinds of lights can create a more romantic or quiet environment. Candle chandeliers, for example, reduce glare and create a warm, soft glow for those looking for a more romantic al fresco dining setting. Read on for more lighting ideas!

Exterior lighting options can include path lighting, spot lighting, shadows and reflections, deck lighting, and string lighting. Path lighting provides an elegant and safe environment to navigate your yard and outdoor rooms. Spotlights or landscape lights can bring out the most beautiful parts of your yard by focusing a beam of light directly on an object. Shade and reflected lighting can increase your chances of accentuating your outdoor features.

Spotlights are a strategic way to introduce shadows and reflections into sections of the yard. Shadows can accentuate sculptures, plants or even walls. Warm colors and subtle cool colors can be used in spotlights. Reflections in particular can accentuate lawns, water features, rocks, and even floors. To provide you, your family, your friends, and your guests with an amazing orgasm design.

Uplighting spotlights can be used to illuminate: magnificent fountains, trees, sculptures, etc. Spotlights can be used to illuminate the lower parts of the yard with ponds, gardens, and bushes.

Deck lighting is another useful security lighting feature that helps residents and guests get up and down stairs on the deck and provides light for those enjoying the deck and ambiance. Deck lighting is often rooted into the cracks and steps of the deck so it's not a trip hazard and blends in nicely. This type of lighting can also emphasize important objects around the deck, such as gardens and trees.

Whether sitting at the dinner table, having a backyard picnic, lounging by the pool, or reclining in a chair, string lighting can also create a romantic ambiance, with warm colors adorning tranquil outdoor lounging areas. Different types of LED lights can also change colors while exuding a calm, peaceful, romantic atmosphere.

Outdoor lanterns are another impressive form of lighting. Designed for outdoor use, these unique lighting fixtures can be mounted on railing posts to provide soft, soft lighting for your patio or patio. Even more impressive is when this type of exterior lighting fixture is installed near a grill or outdoor sink.

Combined with other types of task and indirect lighting, outdoor lanterns can create a cheery ambiance for avid entertainers looking to share the night's beauty with neighbors, friends, and relatives. They also provide excellent opportunities for decorating the garden. The lights also allow those enjoying warm summer nights to read or write outside!

Waterproof table lamps or other types of unique lighting fixtures can also add interest and appeal to an otherwise ordinary space. In addition to beautifying an outdoor room with outdoor table lamps, you can bring the same theme into your yard, creating an overall harmonious effect. The possibilities are nearly endless, from deck lighting to post lighting and garden lighting, as well as low-voltage landscape lighting and garden wall lighting. Best of all, backyard lighting doesn't have to be complicated, expensive, or high-maintenance.

Post lighting comes in a range of sizes to best suit your yard and can be scattered throughout your yard and pathways. Since post-lighting is often based on Victorian street lights, they can also serve as specific design features and decorations for your yard. However, post-lighting can have many design options beyond Victorian, so you have plenty of options.

Don't forget about wall lighting! Wall lighting is also a nifty feature for illuminating an outdoor room. These lights are intended to be showcased as design features. At TFB Lighting, we offer a variety of lighting options based on the style of your home (modern or historic). Lighting features can form a creative and unique design for your outdoor room.

Take the time to choose your outdoor room lighting design. While there is room for experimentation and personal preference, we also give general advice on what not to do with outdoor and indoor lighting. For example, installing very bright lights, such as industrial lights, will not only overlight your yard but also hurt your eyes.

The lighting that is most likely to damage the eyes is "cold" lighting. Cool lighting is lighter colors such as white and blue. In contrast, warm light is less harmful to the eyes. Warm light consists of deep yellow or red. Bright, cool, and blue lights can damage

Your retina, and puts a lot of pressure on your eyes. This is especially bad for children whose eyes have not yet fully developed resistance to blue light. Eye strain has increased due to recent technology, so it is important to install landscape lighting that causes as little eye strain as possible.

In fact, myopia rates in the United States have nearly doubled since 1971. Bright cold lights can also cause the "disco ball effect," which can cause blinding light that can be hard to see. Strobe light-type disco ball effects can also be harmful to the eyes and cause spots in front of the eyes which can lead to vision problems. This is called a posterior vitreous detachment (PVD). This happens when the vitreous moves away from the retina. The vitreous is the clear gel between the retina and the lens of the eye. The retina is "bleached" by the blinding light. This is the same effect you get when taking photos with a flash at night.

Another landscape lighting design to avoid is installing large lighting fixtures that don't fit the layout or size of your yard. This takes up space and reduces focus on the rest of the landscape features. Lighting alone, also known as the "haunted house effect," can do the opposite of what a lot of lighting does. Lighting alone may provide too little illumination, making it difficult to see features in the yard and unsafe to walk around. Less lighting can make tripping hazards and even make it easier to fall into the pool.

While there are some things to avoid, that doesn't mean you can't experiment and explore lighting options. You can experiment with different colors, contrast, and even brightness. Be mindful of the range of bright light you choose. There are a variety of outdoor lighting colors that can be used in addition to simple yellow and white lights. Reds, blues, and purples are becoming popular shades. There are many other colors to choose from. Colored lighting can provide excellent shade and reflected lighting for your yard functions. This contrast creates a quirky and artsy yard style. For example, slightly brighter pink or red lights can beautifully adorn plants, lawns, and garden areas.

Don't worry about fully coordinating your lighting. Yes, well-coordinated lighting is a beautiful way to accentuate a landscape, but it's not always necessary. Sometimes, messing up the lighting in different spots throughout the yard can make the landscape appear larger and deeper.
