4 Benefits of Adding Outdoor Lighting to Your Home’s Exterior
As we transition into fall in South Central Pennsylvania, the days start to shorten, leaving us with less sunlight than the summer months. The fall is the perfect time to incorporate outdoor lighting into your outdoor space or home’s exterior. Outdoor lighting serves many different purposes. Keep reading to find out the benefits of installing outdoor lighting this fall.
Extend Your Outdoor Space
Extend the life of your outdoor space by adding lighting. Just because the sun sets earlier doesn’t mean you have to cut your outdoor entertainment short. Installing outdoor lighting can provide a well-lit area to entertain guests or simply relax and enjoy the cool fall evenings in the comfort of your yard.
Boost Curb Appeal
You spent valuable time and money ensuring your home looks beautiful, why not show it off? Outdoor lighting isn’t just for your backyard. Add lights around your front flower beds, walkways, and even in the windows to brighten up your home for everyone to see. Our team recently installed color changing lights that allows the homeowners to change them based on the upcoming holidays. Light it up red and green for Christmas or red, white, and blue in the summer months. The options are endless when you customize your outdoor lighting.
Safety & Security
One of the biggest benefits to outdoor lighting is safety. Adding light to the dark areas of your yard can prevent accidents and injury, especially if you’re living with children or older adults that have trouble getting around. Lighting the exterior of your home can also make it more difficult for burglars and crime. The more lighting you have, the less likely it is for your home to become a target.
Increase Home Value
Whenever you add a new element to your outdoor space, it immediately increases the value of your home. The more work you put into your home, the less the new owner will need to add. Make sure you’re investing in quality lighting that can withstand the test of time. A well-lit home stands out from the others and can help attract potential buyers.
