Winter doesn’t have to mean saying goodbye to your outdoor spaces. With the right landscape lighting, your winter patio can become a cozy and inviting retreat, perfect for enjoying the crispy air or entertaining guests during the colder months. One of the best ways to bring warmth and ambiance to your outdoor living area is by incorporating outside LED lighting into your landscape design. Here’s how to do it, with some fixture suggestions from Best Pro Lighting!
Highlight key features with path lights
During the winter, your patio and garden may look bare, but with well-placed path lights, you can emphasize its structure and design. Path lights are perfect for illuminating walkways, garden borders, and entrance points. The LED Brass Path Light offers a sleek, durable design that blends seamlessly into your landscape while providing bright, energy-efficient light. These lights not only guide the way but also create a welcoming glow that makes your patio feel safer and more inviting.
Create a warm, inviting glow with string lights
String lights are a popular choice for creating a cozy, magical atmosphere. Whether draped across the railing, wrapped around trees, or hung from a gazebo or patio cover, LED string lights add a twinkling effect that mimics the soft glow of stars. While we don’t currently carry string lights in our lineup of high-quality, commercial-grade lighting, all of our fixtures are weatherproof, durable, and perfect for year-round outdoor use.
Accent your winter garden with spotlights
Even in the winter months, your garden may have evergreen plants, unique sculptures, or other features worth showcasing. Using spotlights or floodlights can draw attention to these elements, providing drama and contrast. Our LED spotlights are also ideal for accenting key features like statues, fountains, or bushes that continue to add texture and interest to your patio in winter. These lights can be adjusted to highlight specific areas, creating shadows and depth that bring your garden to life.
Add a touch of luxury with bollard lights
For a sophisticated touch, consider installing LED bollard lights along your patio’s edge or near your outdoor seating area. Ideal for illuminating the outer parameter of your patio area, bollard lights add a soft, ambient glow to your space. Their sleek design fits well with most outdoor decor, providing both function and style while also giving your patio an elegant look perfect for evening gatherings.
Incorporate underwater lighting for water features
If you have a water feature like a fountain or pond, winter is the perfect time to highlight it with underwater lighting. The LED underwater lights will bring a dramatic effect to the water, creating shimmering reflections that brighten up even the coldest winter nights. The effect of glowing water, combined with the cool, crisp air, will transport you to a serene, peaceful outdoor oasis.
