Make Your Home More Attractive with Landscape Lighting

How Outdoor Lighting Brings Appeal, Security, and More Control to Your Home

What makes a house a home? It’s not only spending time with those you love but also the amount of care you put into your property. After all, a luxury home offers a lot - creative designs, ornate furnishings, custom cabinets, countertops, and even furniture. And don’t forget the lawn. You’ve probably spent a lot of time and money to ensure it looks immaculate and stunning.

Still, while you may appreciate your lawn during the day, what about at night? Make your home look just as appealing when the sun goes down. Outdoor lighting boosts your home's curb appeal and makes it more secure. Moreover, lighting control allows you to automate your outdoor lights.

Illuminates Landscaping Features

Your landscaping design has many unique features - pathways and steps; hardscapes and statues; fountains, ponds, and pools; gardens and trees, gazebos and outdoor kitchens, and many others. Draw attention to them using outdoor lighting. Illuminating the outdoor features of your landscape instantly breathes life into your landscaping design and adds excitement and intrigue for outdoor gatherings in the evening.

Boosts Curb Appeal

Boost your property's curb appeal in the evening by highlighting architectural features. Floodlights on your home, accent lights in the garden, pathway lights, and tree lights all help to make your lawn look magical. At nighttime, your home's exterior will look more aesthetically pleasing. And your neighbors will certainly appreciate it too.

Also, if you ever plan to sell your home in the future, you can get a higher resale value with outdoor lighting. Your home's exterior is what creates a first impression on buyers. If a real estate agent brings a potential homebuyer to your home in the evening, your outdoor lighting system is sure to create a lasting impact.

Increases Security

Motion-sensor LED lights and a “smart” outdoor lighting system in your yard improve your home’s security. When someone intrudes on your property, designated security lights can automatically activate. If you have surveillance cameras, you'll get a clear picture of anyone coming up your driveway, lurking around the windows, or standing on the porch. In addition, a well-lit home deters thieves and vandals. When the entire system is integrated with smart home control, you’ll also enjoy remote access of everything - whether you’re in bed or miles away.

Complete Control

Just like your other smart home technologies, you have complete control over your indoor and outdoor lighting control system. But also, you can preset your outdoor lights to switch on at set times. Automate the lighting system to turn off at sunrise and on at sunset. Even better than that, you can set scenes in your tablet for various outdoor evening activities, such as “Big Party,” “Pool Time,” “Quiet Evening,” or “Outdoor Movie Night.” When you select that scene on your smartphone or tablet, every light adjusts to the perfect brightness and color that you programmed.
