Outdoor lighting
enhances the beauty of your property, makes your home safer and
more secure, and increases the number of pleasurable hours you spend
outdoors. And it is an investment that pays off handsomely in the
value it adds to your home.
For added security,
illuminate any side of the house that would otherwise be in shadow.
To conserve energy, install a motion or heat-sensitive control that
will switch on the light only if someone approaches that side of
the house. An automatic timer can control a portion of your outdoor
lights to turn off at a certain hour, while basic security lights
can be left on through the night. Another proven safety measure
is to use timers on interior lights to make your home look occupied
when you're away.
Dark-Sky
Friendly Lighting Tip
In order to prevent unwanted glare from your outdoor lighting, use
bulbs with reasonable illumination levels. You may also use full
cut-off fixtures to direct the light down towards the ground, where
it is needed, rather than being cast to the side or up towards the
sky, where it is wasted.
