When it comes to creating an inviting and functional outdoor living space, outdoor lighting can make a big impact. Not only do they enhance the beauty and safety of your property, but they also increase your home’s value. However, outdoor lighting installation can be tricky, and there are several common mistakes that homeowners often make. That’s why at SV Decks, we’re here to help you avoid these mistakes and get the most out of your outdoor lighting.
Not Considering the Purpose of Your Outdoor Lighting
Before you start installing outdoor lighting, it’s important to think about the purpose of the lights. Are they meant to provide safety and security? Are they for ambiance and aesthetic appeal? By considering the purpose of your lighting, you can make sure that your lights are installed in the right places and at the right brightness.
Overdoing It
While outdoor lighting can enhance the look of your home, too much lighting can be overwhelming and even annoying to your neighbors. It’s essential to find the right balance between function and aesthetics when planning your outdoor lighting installation.
Not Considering the Type of Lighting
There are different types of outdoor lighting solutions available, such as floodlights, path lights, spotlights, and more. Each type of lighting serves a distinct purpose and should be used accordingly. At SV Decks, we can help you choose the right type of lighting for your specific needs.
Choosing the Wrong Bulbs
Choosing the wrong bulbs for your outdoor lighting can result in increased energy bills and poor lighting quality. It’s important to choose energy-efficient bulbs that are appropriate for outdoor use.
Improper Placement
Proper placement is key when it comes to outdoor lighting installation. Placing lights too close together or too far apart can result in poor lighting coverage and uneven illumination. Our team of outdoor lighting experts at SV Decks can ensure that your lights are placed in the optimal locations for maximum effect.
