In the not too distant past, LED lighting was often used exclusively for commercial properties. However, this has changed dramatically with new styles and options in LED light fixtures that are perfect for homes and smaller types of buildings and spaces.
With the options, designs, and possibilities offered with today’s outdoor LED fixtures for homes and businesses alike, it will be important to use a few strategies to discover the style that is best suited to your home.
Accent Lights
Around the front door, back door and even the garage or side doors of a home, LED light fixtures will add a bright, clean light that not only provides visibility but also provides security.
Different styles of these light fixtures range from the more traditional type of circular lights, which are always a good match or any style, to more modern looking sconces that are eye-catching but also subtle in how they blend with the design of the home.
All accent lights should be listed for use in wet locations. This ensures full safety when using these and other types of outdoor LED light fixtures. While the lights may be on a porch or other covered area, always use the fixtures rated for wet locations.
Other Options
LED lights and fixtures can also be an ideal selection for security types of lighting. Dusk to dawn lights on a garage or mounted on a pole can illuminate a wide area either at the home or on the property.
Flood lights can also be LED options. These are ideal for providing dramatic lighting effects on the home or throughout the landscaping. Each light can be selected to provide the coverage, beam, color and even the look of the fixture that complements both the home as well as the lighting scheme.
