Installing and using outdoor lighting on your property is truly beneficial. Aside from the fact that outdoor lighting makes your house aesthetically beautiful at night, it also makes the vicinity safe and secured too.
Did you know that you are helping your neighborhood and community by putting outdoor lighting? This helps pedestrians be at ease to walk at night. It also reveals potential hazards (making CCTVs at night record clearer views) which leads to a lower crime rate. Furthermore, your property’s outdoor lighting compliments the look of your neighborhood/ community at night.
But it is no surprise that there are others who have doubts about installing outdoor lighting because of the myths surrounding it.
This is why we are going to share with you some information to debunk those myths.
Myth #1: Outdoor Lighting Cost A Lot Of Money
A lot of people (homeowners) believe that by installing and using LED outdoor lighting every night would generate a whopping amount of money. Many of us have the generic idea that continuous use of lights outdoors would generate a large electric bill. While, in reality, this could be debatable (depending on the actual usage) but the truth is it actually depends on several factors.
To set the record straight, installing outdoor lighting cost some money the first time. But that is the reality of it because you cannot go to stores to ask them to give you materials for free. You have to buy the lighting and accessories that you will use!
And if you’ll be hiring a professional to do the installation for you, of course, you have to pay the company.
On the other hand, maintaining LED outdoor lighting is more affordable than you think. LED lights are energy and cost-efficient as they are made to last.
What you have to understand is that depending on the size of your property, it doesn’t require a lot of lighting. The saying, “the more lights, the better” in this situation. You just have to install outdoor lighting that should be enough and needed to light up the outdoors.
Furthermore, the maintenance is manageable because LED lights are so efficient that it doesn’t require a transformer(s) and a lot of cables.
Myth #2: Installation Of Outdoor Lighting Is Time Consuming
You should debunk this idea because the outdoor lighting experts can do the installation in a short period of time.
And if your idea is that you have to be home during the installation, well, that’s not the case nowadays. Yes, it would be really good if you would want to be present during installation for your peace of mind. But if you hire a trustworthy contractor, you can just meet them before the installation work starts and afterward, once the work is done.
Myth #3: LED Lights Are Not Bright Enough Outdoors
No! LED lights are actually reliable when it comes to their lighting. Actually, public places and establishments (that light up beautifully at night) are using LED lights because of their reliability and color versatility.
Furthermore, LED lights’ brightness intensity can be controlled along with the color variation, speed of color switch, and turning it on or off. So depending on your mood, you can change the color and brightness of your outdoor lighting (you just have to buy the lighting fixture that has this feature).
Myth #4: I Can Install Outdoor Lighting Myself
This might be a half-truth. Yes, sure, you can buy lighting on your own to find cheaper ones and do the installation yourself to avoid paying installation fees. But the question is if it’s always the best option? How would you handle the troubleshooting and maintenance without proper guidance?
It is best to hire professionals to do the work for you! Big tasks like outdoor lighting installation are best when done by a company that has years of experience. Letting them do the work would save you time and money because they already know what they are doing. This will also avoid a lot of errors like most DIYers do.
Furthermore, the outdoor lighting professionals would be glad to answer your questions and even teach you some minor fixes or offer their maintenance services. Remember that aside from the fact that they would install the lighting to make your outdoors beautiful, they also care about your safety. They would ensure that the work they do would not bring any trouble in the future.
Myth #5: Outdoor Lighting Companies Are All The Same
A lot of people assume that all outdoor lighting companies are charging high for the work. Well, that is not true! Trustworthy companies don’t just install and maintain outdoor lighting. They also make sure that it promotes safety, security, and outstanding work using safe, high quality, low voltage components, and ergonomic outdoor lighting design.
Let’s always get the facts straight! Making an effort by investing in outdoor lighting would surely be beneficial in many aspects. It is an investment that adds value to your home aesthetically and literally.
