A new year is a great time to think about updating the look of your home. Of course, we’re all thinking about our budgets after the holidays too. One way to make a big impact without breaking the bank is by refreshing your outdoor lighting. Whether you have existing lighting that needs some TLC or are ready to try something energy-efficient, we’ve got you covered with some outdoor lighting ideas you will love for this coming year. 

Eco-friendly Fixtures

Renewable energy is good for the environment, and it’s also good for your wallet! You don’t have to invest in solar panels to take advantage of solar energy, though. Placing high-quality solar lights along walkways, in the pool area, on your patio, or in your landscaping is a great way to increase the safety of your home with minimal disruption. Many of today’s eco-friendly fixtures are also motion detecting, so they only come on when you need them, which extends the life of the batteries even further.

Energy Efficient Systems

Besides solar lights, one of the most energy-efficient lighting solutions available is a system that uses light-emitting diode (LED) bulbs. Not only are LED bulbs brighter and use less energy than traditional lights, but they also last longer, which saves you money in the long run. Installing LED light fixtures that include motion detection or light sensors makes it even easier to reduce energy costs since the lights automatically switch off when not in use.

One other benefit of LED systems is that this type of lighting allows lighting professionals like the ones at Houston Lightscapes to mimic more natural light, like moonlighting, which has health benefits like decreased headaches and stress as well as helping us keep our circadian rhythms aligned properly. Many homeowners choose moonlighting for their pool area or focus on landscaping for a romantic, magical feel.  

Flexible Lighting Solutions

All the advances in technology in recent years mean you can now control many of your home’s functions (i.e., air conditioning and heat, lights, window coverings, appliances, etc.) with an app on your phone. With Haven Lighting, you can control your outdoor lighting displays too! Choose between traditional white lighting or full color. You can always switch it up for holidays, game days, and special occasions with just the touch of a button.
