New outdoor lighting will help you fall in love with your home’s yard again, no matter the season. However, there are several important factors to keep in mind when it comes to choosing outdoor lighting. You’ll want to choose lighting that will serve the purpose you need it to serve, so make sure to keep these factors in mind when designing your outdoor lighting setup.

What to Consider When Designing Outdoor Lighting

  • Brightness. Depending on what you want your outdoor lighting for, you may want to consider brighter versus dimmer lighting. For example, if security is your biggest concern, brighter lights may be what you’re looking for. You’ll also want to consider how brightness impacts the indoors. You probably don’t want to place a super bright light right outside your bedroom window, for example.
  • Size. The size of your outdoor lighting fixtures largely depends on aesthetic and the size of your yard. Several smaller lights create a different feel than just a few larger lights, so make sure to weigh your options before deciding on your outdoor lighting.
  • Type. Outdoor lighting comes in many different types, from accent lighting to security lighting to pathway lighting. Remembering why you want outdoor lighting will make the selection process easier.
