Use a combination of pathway lights, spotlights, and wall-mounted fixtures to ensure complete coverage without over-lighting an area.
Motion-activated lighting adds an extra layer of security while also conserving energy when lights aren’t needed.
Daylight savings is more than just turning the clocks back, it’s an opportunity to refresh your outdoor lighting strategy, research new products and use energy efficient lighting options.
