A well thought designed outdoor lighting system has numerous benefits. The addition of landscape lighting is a wonderful way to highlight the features of your yard and improve safety and security. Whether you are in the process of building a new home in Chicago or landscaping the gardens of your current home, the installation of outdoor lighting will make it warm and comfortable.
The benefits of outdoor landscape lighting include:
Effective Illumination
Chicago weather may keep you inside during the winter, but in the spring, summer, and fall, it can be different. With effective lighting, it is easy to extend your living space to include your outdoor patio and yard. Outdoor lights not only illuminate your outdoor living space, but it can also create a special ambiance regardless of whether you are entertaining guests or simply enjoying a little personal time before turning in for the day. There are many styles and designs of lights available, from decorative to functional.
Highlight Your Landscaping
Strategic positioning of lights can highlight garden features, help to illuminate a path or walkway to your door, and create light barriers to dissuade people from going to certain parts of your garden. Lights are an excellent way to highlight features such as fountains, ponds, or to highlight certain flora in your yard.
Safety and Security
Outdoor lighting is an excellent way to deter crime and secure your home. Many Chicago properties, especially in the suburbs, are not necessarily well lit; the installation of floodlights is a good way to add light to dark areas that are often created by the design of your home. It is not necessary to light the area throughout the night. Lighting controlled by motion sensors turn the lights on when people approach the area. Motion sensors are a great way to save on energy costs and add the element of surprise to trespassers.
