Which Outdoor Lights Are Right for You?

The right outdoor lights for you depend on what you wish to illuminate. Are you looking to create a secure pathway, highlight a specific landscape feature, or simply set a relaxing ambiance for your evening gatherings? Whatever you choose, it should have the right balance between aesthetic appeal and functional lighting.

There’s a variety of light options to choose from, each serving different purposes — such as improving safety, enhancing aesthetics, or highlighting your garden’s best features. So here’s our guide to the types of outdoor lights:

Floodlights

Floodlights are great for illuminating large areas and providing security around your property. Installation typically involves strategic placement and choosing lights with adjustable settings, so you have control over the intensity and spread of light. And we make sure that your floodlights enhance security without compromising aesthetics.

Well Lights

Well lights are excellent for low-profile illumination and are often used to uplight trees or architectural features. Our team will carefully select light fixtures and placements that complement your landscaping, providing a subtle yet effective lighting solution that won’t overwhelm your space.

Spotlights

Spotlights are ideal for drawing attention to specific landscaping or architectural details. Through careful planning and the use of adjustable spotlights, we make sure that the focal points in your outdoor space are highlighted tastefully.

Uplights

Uplights can create dramatic effects by illuminating from below, perfect for statues, trees, or façades. Our specialists will strategically place uplights to enhance the natural beauty of your landscaping for a magnificent yet elegant illumination.

Outdoor Wall Lights

Outdoor wall lights are great for adding ambiance and improving navigation around buildings. We’ll help you select and install wall lights that serve both functional and aesthetic purposes so they beautifully accent your home’s architecture.

Hanging Lights

Hanging lights are wonderful for porches or outdoor dining areas, offering a cozy, intimate lighting solution. Our experts make sure hanging lights are installed perfectly to enhance the ambiance of your outdoor gatherings.

Post (or Pole) Lights

Post or pole lights are great for lighting pathways or open areas, providing visibility and safety. We offer a selection of stylish post lights that complement your landscape so paths are safely lit without sacrificing style.
