Memorial Day – the day we all remember the sacrifices made to keep our country free, a day to gather with friends and family and be grateful for all we have, the first sure sign of summer. If your family was like mine, you probably spent most of the weekend and Monday outdoors. The weather was beautiful, and the temperature wasn’t too overpowering. It was a perfect weekend for games, food, and relaxation. As the sun began to set, did you find yourself wishing you could see your family a little better? If your home does not have Columbia outdoor lighting installed, you may have found yourself listening to their voices more than looking at their faces.

Like your indoor spaces, your outdoor spaces need lighting if you plan to use them at night. Outdoor lighting provides a safe environment in which your family can relax and play while creating an atmosphere that cannot be captured any other way. Dock lighting can add safety and beauty to your waterfront home. If your Columbia residence is a waterfront property, you may have already installed this type of outdoor lighting. Now consider using outdoor lighting to bring all of your outdoor living spaces together. Outdoor lighting can connect your dock to your pool area, which in turn will connect to your patio, garden, and your residence.

Outdoor lighting enhances the look and safety of your outdoor living spaces.

Columbia outdoor lighting provides safe, visually striking outdoor living areas. With your paths, steps, and pool or deck edges clearly illuminated, your family will be able to avoid trips and falls that could ruin a perfect evening. Just as lighting enhances mood and look indoors, it will outdoors too. Outdoor lighting designed and installed by Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Columbia can be used to evoke any mood you want – serene, enchanting, exciting, or dramatic.

Though we’ve had a bit of a break here in Columbia the past few days, the temperatures are rising. Summer is just around the corner, and that means fun times in your pool. Remember when you were a kid? Summer pool time was the best time, and if you’re like me, you still hold those memories dear. Remember sneaking out to swim at night? Of course your mom would have been livid if she’d known because it’s dangerous to swim in dark, but that feeling of the water surrounding you, the whisper of mild air, and the call of night noises were just too much to resist. You did it anyway. Now that you’re older and own a pool yourself, why limit yourself to daytime swimming? You can swim safely here in Columbia at night by installing pool area lighting. Not only would your mom approve, but your thirteen year old self would too.

 

Pool area lighting refers to lighting installed within the space surrounding your pool or hot tub. This could include the decking, sitting walls or areas, gazebos, bridges, pergolas, and any trees, shrubs, or flowers in that space. Having this area illuminated can help prevent slips and falls and makes the edges of the water clearly visible. Visibility within this area is critical for the safety of swimmers and non-swimmers alike. Of course, as an adult, I’d still side with Mom and say no running even in the presence of light, but pool area lighting makes what was once a hazardous trek into a enchanting one.

While safety is always paramount, the effect of pool area lighting on your mood cannot be matched by any other improvement. Perfectly positioned path lights softly illuminate walkways and the surrounding decking. Dramatic uplighting highlights the trunk and foliage of trees that mark the edge of the space. The colors of your lush plants and flowers compliment the mood, making you feel like you’re relaxing at one of your favorite resorts. Soft rays reflect off the your pool’s ripples creating a sight that is both mesmerizing and serene. You inhale, exhale, and let the water wash all your stress away. It’s true your nighttime swims have grown up a bit, but now that you’re sitting here soaking in the beauty and calm, aren’t you glad?

 

Evenings are getting warmer, and the perfect night for a swim is closer than you think. Don’t wait, or you may be making the responsible adult decision to forego that swim. Call Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Columbia today, and give yourself the gift of pool area lighting. Be honest, you’ve wanted it since you were a kid.
