4 safety tips for outdoor fall lighting

As the days grow shorter and the nights cooler, outdoor lighting becomes not only a necessity but also a way to magnify the ambiance and safety of your home during this darker, dreary season. Whether you’re illuminating garden features or simply brightening up pathways, we’ve got some essential safety types to consider when using LED lights for outside your house.

Choose weather-resistant LED lights

When selecting outdoor lighting, always opt for weather-resistant LED lights. LEDS are a durable and energy-efficient option, making them the most ideal choice for withstanding the elements throughout fall and winter months. With such a wide variety of LED options available, like the popular LED floodlights and path-area fixtures, our signature products are designed to withstand rain, snow, and wind, all while maintaining brightness and reliability.

Proper installation and placement

Please ensure that your outside lights are installed properly to prevent hazards. Our fixtures are designed to hide wiring beneath the ground, keeping them secure while covering the tripping hazard. Pathway lights with heavy-duty ground stakes or extension risers allow you to place them strategically at the edge of garden beds, walkways, and along driveway spaces, elevating the fixture away from where you walk and providing clear visibility with a stylish look.

Regular maintenance and inspections

Don’t forget to periodically inspect and maintain your outdoor LED lights to ensure they are functioning properly. This means cleaning fixtures, replacing burnt out bulbs, and checking above-ground wiring to ensure their connection. Our fixtures are designed for long-lasting performance and come with guaranteed warranties, however, regular maintenance helps maximize their efficiency.

Consider energy-efficiency

LED lights for outside your house are not only safer but also more energy-efficient compared to traditional incandescent bulbs. They consume less electricity while providing bright and consistent illumination, which can lower your otherwise high energy bills during the fall and winter months. What’s the best part? These lights greatly outlast what you currently have which is a win, win for energy-efficiency.

Incorporating these safety tips will help you to create a welcoming and secure environment for your family and guests this fall—Happy shopping!
