Energy savings is the new buzzword in town as individuals and families strive for innovative ways to live in a more energy efficient manner. One of the easiest changes you can make to your home this Spring is to install LED lighting.
LED lights have been deemed by industry experts as the “next big thing” in home design, both for the exterior and interior.
LED Lighting- What’s all the Hype About?
Just what exactly is an LED light? LED, or light emitting diodes, lighting provides the same illumination as standard lighting, with only 20% of the energy consumption. In addition, LED lights burn brightly over 35,000 to 2000,000 hours as compared to a traditional incandescent light which burns for approximately 8,000 hours. With these facts in mind, imagine what kind of savings LED lights could provide for your household!

If you participate in the concept of ‘Spring Cleaning’, then addressing your home’s exterior landscaping is likely on your to-do list. Lighting is one of the most important components to any well designed landscape. How can you balance superior landscape design with budget practicality? Keeping the LED lighting savings just mentioned top of mind, how can you integrate these lighting options into your home’s exterior landscape, resulting in unique design features without breaking the bank?
Up-Lighting- Up-lights are an excellent way to showcase the beauty of your home’s exterior. Plus, they have the added bonus of increasing your home’s security, as burglars are less likely to target well lit homes. As these lights are often illuminated 24-7, utilizing LED lights instead of traditional bulbs will save you money and valuable time; exterior LED lights require infrequent replacement.
Landscape Lighting- Landscape lighting can be used to illuminate walking pathways, water features or to highlight unique design items. Replacing exterior lights with LED lights, particularly those which burn frequently, can provide the same design elements, at a fraction of the cost long term.
Pool and Spa Lighting- Lights used to illuminate your pool, spa and even water features leverage the cost savings offered by LED lighting.
These are just a few of the most common areas exterior LED lighting can be incorporated into your home’s exterior landscape design. As you prepare your home’s ‘Spring cleaning’ to-do list, keep in mind that LED lights provide superior lighting quality, while providing desirable energy efficiency.
