outdoor lighting

Whether you’re looking to increase your home’s overall value or just want to make it safer, there are many ways to do so with outdoor lighting. Outdoor lighting can improve the look of your property and help deter burglars, but it can also be used simply to keep you safe at night while walking around outside. We’ve compiled a list of some great ideas for adding more security to your home using outdoor lighting:

1. Create a path of light to your back door

If you have one, this is an easy way to make sure that the path leading up to your home is well lit and visible at night. A motion-activated light will detect movement and turn on automatically when someone approaches, so they don’t have to fumble around in the dark looking for their key or knocking on the door before they can come inside. You should also consider using bright enough lighting so that people can see without disturbing your neighbors’ sleep or eye sight!

Consider dimmer switches for added flexibility in case things change over time (e.g., if someone moves out).

2. Add spotlights for security and safety

Spotlights can help you see what is going on outside your home and help you to identify potential safety concerns. For example, if someone is trying to break into your house at night, spotlights can highlight objects such as doors and windows so that they stand out against the background. Spotlights also allow homeowners to see what is going on outside their homes better than any other type of lighting because they provide bright illumination without creating shadows or glare that could obscure vision.

Spotlights should be directed toward entrances/exits as well as any areas where someone might hide while attempting entry into your property; this includes bushes, shrubs and trees along fences or walls surrounding yards/gardens (as well as behind them).

3. Light up the front of your home

·         Add a light above your door. The first thing people see when they arrive at your home is the front door, so make sure it’s well-lit! A porch light is an easy and inexpensive way to do this.

·         Add lights on the sides of your home. If you have a side yard that isn’t visible from the street–or if you want to add extra security by lighting up a dark area–add some motion-sensor lights there as well.

·         Light up bushes and trees around your property by putting solar lights in them (you won’t even have to bury them!). This will make it easier for people passing by at night time or early morning hours when natural lighting isn’t as strong yet still provide plenty enough illumination so no one feels unsafe walking past these areas while heading inside their own homes after dark hours have arrived.

4. Don’t forget about safety for kids and pets

If you have kids or pets, don’t forget to consider their safety as well. Outdoor lighting can help keep them from wandering into the street and getting hit by a car. It also helps them find their way back home if they get lost or take off after an animal in the night. And for parents with young children who might still be learning how to navigate unfamiliar areas, this can be especially important because it gives parents peace of mind knowing that their kids won’t get lost if they step outside at night without supervision.

A great idea is to install beautiful outdoor solar string lights all over the yard. They will be switch on at night and charged during the day. Once you buy them, there is no cost to them. They’re easy to install, low-maintenance and affordable. They’re also very bright, making them ideal for illuminating pathways, yards or any other dark area around your house.

5. Put lights on timers for added convenience and security

Timers are a great way to keep your outdoor lighting on track. You can set them to turn on and off at different times throughout the day, so that you never have to worry about forgetting to turn off lights at night or turning them back on in the morning.

Timers can also be use in conjunction with motion sensors, which allow your home’s security system to automatically activate when someone approaches it–and deactivate once they’ve pass by (or if no one comes close enough). This gives you added convenience while making sure no one breaks into your house while you’re asleep!
