Fall is the Right Time for Outdoor Lighting!

/in , , /by

Even if we hate to admit it, summer is officially over! That means you have to pack up the grill, pull the plug on the outdoor lighting and completely forget about your landscape until next spring, right? Wrong! When the weather gets cooler and the days get shorter, people tend to focus on indoors, but this is the best time of year to enjoy your outdoor lighting and get the best use out of it!

Fall is an ideal time to have your landscape lighting done. In the summer, the days are so long that we only really get to enjoy our lights for a short time each night. We are lucky in the fall: the turning of the season, the cooling air, colored leaves and shortening days all mean its time to throw on a sweater and step out onto the patio to enjoy the season!

There is never a bad time for outdoor lighting. But there is a best time for outdoor lighting, and that’s now. Longer nights mean more time for your landscape lighting features to do what they do best — illuminate your beautiful home and landscape.

While it can still be quite warm in fall, evenings can get chilly. Create a warm, welcoming environment in your outdoor entertaining areas by adding uplights, downlights or sconces that provide just the right amount of light to warm up the space. Another great option of lighting to make your outdoor living space POP with all your fall entertaining is to add some café lights! Work with one of our amazing outdoor lighting designers to use landscape lighting to help create the perfect space for fall entertaining.

Benefits and Importance of Resort Outdoor Lighting

A great exterior lighting system can add ambiance to a property, but outdoor lighting systems are also important to provide adequate lighting in your parking areas, driveways & pathways, and entrances to make your guest feel secure. A few benefits to having exterior security lighting are:

  • Deter intruders and unwanted animals
  • Prevent accidents, lighting makes it less likely to trip and fall on pathways
  • Increase your curb appeal, lights placed on the ground to shine up at a resort can create an elegant and eye-catching look

Having your lighting systems retrofitted to LED can be such a huge cost savings. Because LED bulbs last so much longer, properties buy and change fewer bulbs overall. On top of those cost-savings are reductions in energy bills. An LED bulb uses only two-thirds the energy that an incandescent bulb uses, which amounts to a fair amount of energy savings—whether a small or large-scale property.
