What Are the Benefits of Exterior Lighting?
Adding outdoor lighting to your home has several benefits.
Highlight Your Landscaping
Enhance your home’s look with landscape lighting! Exterior lighting can help highlight areas of your home such as patios, gardens, trees, walkways, and more.
Increase Your Property Value & Your Curb Appeal
Most people think curb appeal is only important if you are selling your home. However, curb appeal serves a purpose even if you do not plan on selling anytime soon. Highlighting the exterior features of your home with architectural lighting can add dimension, highlight your home’s most impressive or unique attributes, and make it look welcoming to anyone coming to visit your home.
Expand Your Outdoor Space
Task and ambient lighting systems have the unique ability to extend your space by making your outdoor spaces usable and enjoyable at night. With professional outdoor lighting installation, you can set the mood you want to create an ambient, inviting space for you to spend time with your family and friends.
Improve Your Home Security
Navigational lighting can be used to guide any guests along walkways, stairs, uneven surfaces, and around water features to reduce the risk of someone getting injured on your property. Additionally, homes with exterior security lighting are more likely to capture the attention of others, making them a deterrent for potential break-ins.

Do Outdoor Lights Need Their Own Circuit?
When installing outdoor lighting in a home, it’s important to determine whether the lights need their own circuit. Since many people choose to install outdoor lights following the completion of all the main electrical work (usually several years after), it’s common for outdoor lights to be wired into an existing circuit.
This practice, however, may not be the best for every situation. When the same circuit is used, it means that something that goes wrong with the outdoor lighting can affect the internal circuits. This inconvenience can easily be avoided by installing a new circuit for the exterior lights.
