Security Benefits Of A Well-Lit Outdoor Space

One of the strongest arguments in favor of outdoor lighting is that it provides a sense of security and safety. Using lights along walkways can help expose tripping hazards (such as a garden hose or toys that were left out) as you walk about your yard at night.

However, the safety benefits of proper lighting don’t just end at being able to see when it’s dark out. Outdoor lighting can also be a deterrent for burglars. Someone who’s intent on breaking in to your home or business will likely think twice  

Outdoor lights can also keep your home or commercial property more secure. A thief (or thieves) will be far less motivated to target your property if there are lights shining on them to expose their dark and shady activities.

Beauty And Functionality

Exterior lighting isn’t only about functionality; it’s also about making your outdoor space as beautiful as it can possibly be. Landscape lighting can be used to highlight particularly stunning pieces of landscaping. 

You can also use an outdoor lighting strategy to bring even more life to outdoor entertainment areas. Outdoor ceiling fans are a great way to help keep your guests cool during an outdoor summer barbecue, while providing light as it gets dark. You can also use landscape lighting around your pool to give it a resort-type feel. 

One of the best things about outdoor lighting is the sheer amount of options and customization opportunity you have. Whether you prefer to use a mixture of hanging lights and post lights or are content with patio lights or wall sconces, you can develop a lighting strategy that fits your personal taste and the style of your home.

Still not sure you can do it? Our professional lighting consultants can help guide you in the right direction. From selecting the right products to installing them in such a way that makes your outdoor space truly magical.

Close To Ceiling Lights

Close to ceiling lights are designed to be relatively unassuming. However, that doesn’t mean they don’t have their place. If you select the right ones, they can beautifully blend in with your ceiling and provide the illumination you need.

Hanging Lights

At Butler Lighting, we have almost 2,000 different types and styles of hanging lights that range from simple and practical to elegant and ornate. Hanging lights are a great way to beautify your outdoor patio or living room area.

Outdoor Ceiling Fans

North Carolina summers can get hot, even during the evenings after the sun goes down. With an outdoor ceiling fan or two, you can keep the party outside and your guests comfortable the whole night through. Many ceiling fans also come equipped with a light source.

Post Lights

Posts are interesting features that can be used to light walkways or outdoor areas. With post lighting, you can customize both the types of posts you’re using as well as the lights that mount them, giving you a great degree of freedom in your lighting strategy.

Landscape Lighting

Landscape lighting is used to draw attention to specific landscaping features like waterfalls or particularly beautiful plants. It can also help light walkways for safe travel. Most of all, these lights allow you to enjoy your outdoor space even when the sun has gone down. 

Security Lights

Security lights are designed to keep your home well-lit and safe. If you want to get the most from your security lights, they can also be equipped with motion sensors so you don’t have to deal with turning them on and off as necessary.

Wall Sconces 

Like almost any lighting feature, sconces range from simple to ornate. When it comes to selecting the right outdoor sconce, the most important thing to consider is the style of your architecture and landscaping and choose the one that matches best.

Patio Lights

Keeping a well-lit patio ensures a functional use of the space at any time of the day or night. Besides wall sconces and other permanent fixtures, you can also use string lights to add a fun, festive atmosphere to your patio.
