Exploring the Different Types of Outdoor Lighting
We know exactly what types of outdoor lights should be installed and where to achieve the results you want. The most common types of outdoor lighting we use are:
- Spotlights and Floodlights – Spotlights and floodlights are excellent security lights. They produce a focused, directional beam of light that can be pointed at specific areas like dark corners, trees and plants, garages, and home structures.
- Path Lights and Garden Lights – Path lights and garden lights are small lights that are installed into the ground along pathways. They light up walkways, making them easier to see at night.
- In-ground Well Lights – In-ground well lights are a low-profile solution for lighting large expanses of grass or other landscaped areas. They can be fitted with covers that direct the light in specific areas.
- Wall Lights and Lanterns – Wall lights and lanterns are decorative options that can be used to enhance lighting on porches, entryways, garages, sheds, gates, and other structures.
- Underwater Lights and Fountain Lights – Underwater and fountain lights are placed or installed in water features to enhance their beauty and safety. They are available in different colors to create different designs.
- Step Lights – Step lights are simple, low-profile lights used to enhance the safety of stairs and steps. They can be installed on the steps or stairs of porches, decks, patios, gazebos, pergolas, and more.
- String Lights – String lights are classic, versatile, and easy to install. They are ideal for patios and decks, covered porches and verandas, pergolas, and gardens. You can choose from a wide variety of sizes, colors, styles, and designs.
- Pendant Lights and Hanging Lights – Pendant lights, hanging lights, and chandeliers can be installed over seating and dining areas and in outdoor kitchens.
