5 Benefits to Outdoor Landscape Lighting
Outdoor landscape lighting is not only a way to brighten up your yard or patio, but it also has many practical uses as well. Let’s look at all the benefits outdoor landscape light does for your home!
1. Beautiful Outdoor Feel
The Coachella Valley offers some of the most beautiful consistent weather in the country! There are plenty of days and nights perfect for spending time outside and entertaining guests. Outdoor lighting is great for brightening your outdoor space and setting up a relaxing atmosphere.
It can illuminate your grilling station or brighten an area for late-night outdoor games. If you have a pool in your backyard, outdoor lighting allows this area to be well illuminated after dark, so you can enjoy swimming whenever you like!
2. Security
A burglar’s best friend is the darkness, where they can skulk around and find ways to steal possessions around your property and even your home. Simple outdoor lighting boosts security as more illumination provides fewer alleys of darkness for would-be burglars to sneak through and provides you peace of mind.
3. Safety
People come and go from their homes at all hours of the day. If you frequently traverse to and from your home, you must already know the dangers of doing it in the dark. Additionally, it can be a pain to carry a flashlight or use your phone’s flashlight for safety.
Outdoor light gives you a clear path around the exterior of your property to safely make your way around. This may be especially important for older folks who can’t afford to trip and fall.
If remembering to turn on your outdoor lights daily poses an issue, no problem. Home automation will have your outdoor lights turned on and off without a second thought! Just program the times you would like your lights to turn on and off, and the rest is history. Lastly, home automation helps you save money if you forget to turn them off in the morning!
4. Increased Home Value
A well-lit outdoor landscape adds to the value of the house. According to some studies, exterior lighting can add up to 20% to the house's value.
If you choose the proper outdoor lighting, it will make the exterior of your house look more aesthetically pleasing to homebuyers. It can increase the usability of your home and highlight its designs and features adding value.
If you plan on selling the house, you can do some small fixes of paints here and there, upgrade the entrance and boost the curb appeal. All of these fixes and a well-lit exterior would undoubtedly increase the market value of your house.
5. Enjoy Sports Anytime
Playing sports during the day is challenging because of the sun and heat. However, if your house has outdoor landscape lighting, your sports activities don’t have to be restricted to only the daytime; you can also enjoy outdoor sports at night.
Playing a game of soccer or badminton in the evening is even more fun because the noise level is minimal, and there is no source of distraction. Moreover, if you enjoy taking a dip in the swimming pool at night, outdoor landscape lighting can also facilitate a relaxing midnight swim.
