Outdoor lighting thoroughly improves the aesthetics—whether it’s for residential or commercial—of any property. It enhances the user experience of your landscape, especially when the sun goes down. But more than the beautification, outdoor lighting is meant to highlight the safety and security of any vicinity to avoid any disturbances such as trespassing, break-ins, and vandalism. Thus, it extends on highlighting a feature of any outdoor at night that people thought they could only enjoy during the daytime.
On the other hand, the real benefit of a good outdoor lighting system could truly be enjoyed when it doesn’t bother your finances. In short, more than the curb appeal it provides, outdoor lighting should be a good investment. One key to that is by using LED lighting for your outdoors.
In this blog, we will share with you some tips for you to consider upgrading your outdoor lighting to LED lights.
There Are Available Outdoor Lighting
Although for the general consumers, it is already common knowledge that LED lighting is not only available for indoor usage but also for outdoors. However, there are still some who are not aware of this fact despite the wide range availability of LED light products in the market today.
LED Lights Last Longer
A light-emitting diode, or LED, has approximately 25,000 hours of useful lifespan which is far better than other types of lighting that we used previously. There are even LED lights that can potentially be used for up to 50,000 hours. This is depending on some factors such as the way it was produced, its durability, and the way it’s used. Nonetheless, LED lights are proven to be cost and energy-efficient based on research and actual usage.
LED Lights Are Cost-Efficient
Although, in some cases, light installation can cost money depending on the installation method and how it will be used. But in the long run, LED lights can save you more money because they last longer without seeing a huge or drastic change in the light it emits. For example, LED lights use up to 80% less energy compared to other types of lighting such as halogen, compact fluorescent, incandescent, etc.
LEDs Are [Literally] Cooler
Compared to halogens and incandescent which produce up to 90% of their energy given off as heat, LED lights just produce light from 20% to 50%. This is why LEDs are ideal to use for lighting landscapes such as plants because it doesn’t harm their natural process when depending on lights (for photosynthesis).
LED Lights Are Proven To Be Sustainable
LEDs can give the landscape the ‘green appeal’ without making the aesthetics it highlights inefficient. This leads to improving the curb appeal and value of any property could make it easier for you to put the property on the market (in case you’re selling), attract potential customers (which is good for business to be popular), and/or give a good impression (for passersby knowing that it is a safe place).
Furthermore, using LED lights for beautifying the outdoors is highly recommended by many professionals because it is easier to install and maintain without spending a huge amount of money. And more than being an expense, installing LED outdoor lighting is an investment that you should consider because it can ensure safety and security in your property along with improved beautification that is pleasing to the eyes.
