Are you ready for fall? It’s the season of mild temperatures allowing for outdoor dinners on the deck and endless late-night conversation on the patio. While personally you may be more than ready for these meaningful moments, your property may not be. So the past few weeks, you’ve been sprucing up your landscape, tending to outdoor maintenance in anticipation of the changing season ahead. While you were doing all this, did you notice any dark spots on your property after sunset? Your landscape and architecture may be illuminated, but if your outdoor living spaces are dark, your neighbors and passers-by may be enjoying your outdoor lighting more than you are.
Decks and patios provide a spot to enjoy fall nightlife that can be relaxing and intimate or exciting and lively. They really can be whatever you want them to be. Outdoor lighting helps you create these atmospheres. It provides mood and aesthetics and also makes your favorite outdoor living space functional after sundown. Now that milder nights will soon be here, it’s time to upgrade your outdoor lighting so you can take round-the-clock advantage of these areas, and Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Columbia can help.

If you are concerned about the additional costs you will accrue on your energy bill by making an addition, consider LED for your deck or patio. Even if your system consists of halogen fixtures and components, LED is an option. In many cases, more LED fixtures can be added to your transformer than halogen because they pull less voltage, meaning you can get more light for the same amount of energy consumption. While some may be reluctant to mix halogen and LED lights, we would not suggest such a option if it could not be done seamlessly. Of course, if you would like to keep your system consistent, your new deck or patio addition can certainly be halogen. Or perhaps, you would like to upgrade your entire system to LED. That too can be arranged.
