Outdoor lighting is often overlooked, but it plays an important role in enhancing the look and experience of your home exterior and surroundings.

Strategically placed outdoor fixtures can enhance the beauty of your garden and emphasise certain elements, such as water features or the garden landscape. Besides that, having good outdoor lighting allows you to enjoy the yard and garden even after the sun goes down. Create a comfortable alfresco area or transform the garden into an entertaining space that is perfect for hosting dinner parties.

By illuminating your porch, driveway, walkway, deck and backyard, outdoor lights can improve safety and security by helping you see in the night. Some garden lights and floodlights also come with motion sensors, and these not only are energy-efficient but can also alert you to movements around your house.

When choosing your outdoor fixtures, be mindful of where they will be placed. Lights that will be exposed to water or the elements such sun, rain and dust, should have a suitable IP rating to ensure proper protection levels. It is also recommended that you use fixtures that are made of stainless steel or aluminium, as these materials are good at resisting corrosion.
