Best Spots to Place Outdoor LED Lights Around Your Home

Have you been thinking about getting some outdoor LED lights to put around your home? Perhaps you aren’t quite sure where you should have your outdoor landscape lighting installed. If that’s your dilemma, why not call the specialists to advise you on the best spots for your exterior lighting? Southern Landscape Lighting Systems will arrange to visit your home and suggests which areas could most benefit from outdoor LED lighting.

You may want exterior lighting for security purposes; for example, your driveway may be long and dark, and you want to deter animals or even thieves.  Perhaps you want to illuminate a particularly striking feature in your garden, such as a waterfall, tree or ornamental bush. It could be that you simply want LED landscape lighting to brighten up your deck, or to illuminate the façade of your home. Whatever reason you have for wanting LED lights around your home, our experts at Southern Landscape Lighting Systems can help and advise you.

There are probably several questions you have regarding the cost of outdoor LED lights. Here are the answers to some of them:

  • LED lights last much longer than traditional halogen ones. In fact, they can last for 50,000 hours.
  • Low voltage landscape lighting is much cheaper to use than the usual lighting systems.
  • Your LED lights will use less energy than traditional lighting. That means that you are lessening, albeit slightly, your environmental footprint.

Apart from being cost-effective, your LED lights will come on instantly. They don’t take time to warm up, even when the temperatures drop. At the flick of a switch, or a press of a button, your whole yard, or the part that you selected for your lights, can be illuminated. These lights can be turned on and off many times without breaking. If you routinely break your traditional lightbulbs, the longevity of LED lighting will mean that you don’t have to fumble around in the dark trying to replace busted bulbs.

Durability is a key consideration when choosing outdoor lighting, and as LED lights are made of durable, hard-wearing plastic, not glass, they can withstand frost, snow and the worst weather conditions.

LED lighting is free of ultra violet (UV) emissions and mercury, which they are not as damaging to the health as traditional lighting. Fluorescent lights can induce headaches, and, of course they often hum, which can cause irritation, fatigue and a variety of other symptoms. On the other hand, LED lights are silent.
