The importance of landscape lighting

Tips with the Tipton's



Landscape lighting allows you to do more of what you love & keeping safe while doing so. Slips, trips andfalls occur frequently outdoors at night,because it becomes difficult to see those curves, rocks, stairs and steps. Night visibility issues aren’t just a thing of age, either; in fact, studies say that reduced night vision affects up to 80% of the population...


You may be thinking, well, I don't want to spend a TON of money on lighting...

You're in such, because a range of options are now available to you!


1. Lanterns and hanging lights


Do you have people over to grill and hang out in the back yard every weekend? Overhead lighting may make things more comfortable, without breaking your budget. But make sure you are using the appropriate extension cord before you set everything up!


2. Floodlights & spotlights


Just looking for more security? This is the best option for you, although it may run a little more expensive, there are options that will provide the safe lighting you desire.


3. Hardscape lighting


You have put SO much work into your yard, why not show it off when the sun starts to go down. There are efficient ways to enhance the aesthetic of your yard, even in the pitch of night!


4. Step and sidewalk lighting


Maybe someone fell recently, tripping over a piece of your pathway or up your outside steps. You don'y need huge hardscape lighting to solve this issue, simple have a few tiny lights installed in the problem areas!


5. Well lights

lights that are installed into the ground and shine up! Plan on having corn hole tournaments or late night BBQ's? These lights mixed with lanterns may be all you need to keep people safe and comfortable!
