As we get further and further into autumn, Delaware homeowners are being faced with earlier sunsets and longer nights. Now is as good a time as any to install landscape lighting on your property, and low-voltage outdoor lighting is an excellent option for homeowners who value efficiency and safety. There are many ways to utilize low-voltage fixtures outdoors. In this week’s blog, we will discuss some residential applications for low-voltage outdoor lighting that you can use this fall.

Create a Space to Entertain on Your Deck or Patio

If you have a deck, patio, or other outdoor entertainment space, the earlier sunsets can spell an end to your outdoor recreation. While fire pits and flashlights can provide a meager amount of light, dim spaces are not usually conducive to serving guests. Extend the usable hours of your deck or patio with low-voltage outdoor lighting. Not only can a poorly-lit deck be a safety hazard, but it can also be very unwelcoming and impractical. The experts at Sposato Irrigation can install a low-voltage lighting system to make your outdoor deck or patio space usable, welcoming, and bright all winter long.

Illuminate Pathways and Driveways for Safety

Shorter days are not the only safety concern for the fall and winter months. Cold temperatures paired with darkness can lead to slip-and-fall accidents, sprained ankles, and more. Low-voltage outdoor lighting is an excellent tool that can illuminate your home’s driveways, paths, and walkways. Not only does this reduce the risk of a trip, slip, or fall, but it can also deter trespassers from targeting your property. A well-lit driveway or porch can broadcast to would-be intruders that you are home and that you take safety seriously.

Highlight Landscaping in Your Garden or Backyard

While the practical uses for low-voltage outdoor lighting are numerous, there are also plenty of ways to use landscape lighting in a purely creative way. Different types of lighting fixtures can highlight your property’s trees, draw attention to exciting architectural features, and create a compositionally-sound landscape design. With Halloween and the winter holidays coming up, you are bound to have trick or treaters, carolers, and other holiday guests visit your property. Give them a view to remember with low-voltage outdoor lighting designed and installed by Sposato Irrigation.
