BEAUTIFUL OUTDOOR LIGHTING IDEAS THAT FOCUS ON HOME SAFETY AND SECURITY

Home which is a lovely place should be safe and secure in addition to having an eye catching interior and exterior design. Exterior lighting system will undoubtedly add elegance to the home. However, smart brains should think of lighting solutions that ensure the exterior of the home to be safe and secure for everyone to move around and spend some time in fresh air. Installation of too many lights in the exterior without any home automation setup will increase the electricity bills. Let us see step by step approach to enjoy the best ambiance of your home while keep the electricity bills in control.

Driveways and sidewalks:  

While both driveway and sidewalk could be one and the same for few homes, for some homes it could be entirely different. People having garage to park their cars should have lights at garage and home entrance so that the person in the car is safe from any attack by the criminals hiding near the garage or at the home entrance. Smart home setup could be planned in such a way that the low voltage lights are used along the driveway and could quickly be turned on with a mechanism that is set at the entrance. Having sensed no movement for a minute or more or less than that can turn off the lights thus ensuring reduced electricity bills. 

Coming to sidewalk, you could ensure that the illumination from lights is controlled when no one is around and when someone walks through, the illumination could automatically be increased thus leaving the exterior to be in your surveillance from inside. With fully illuminated view, guests feel comfortable to walk through the sidewalk when they are invited by you. Consulting the experts for light switch replacement will help you get the work done at the earliest. 

Patios and other sit out areas: 

A patio with a table and chairs around it or with a closed room in it is accessible by the culprits. Hence, the smart home setup, should ensure that the lights are automatically turned-on the moment the sensors detect the surroundings. With this lighting system, if anyone is going inside or outside of the patio can be quickly identified by you, thus being able to save your girls from being attacked in the patio where they would like to study for long hours. 

Fountain or benches near the small lawn that you have, play area for kids etc are all other sit out areas where you need to plan for home automation setup. During nights when you go around these places either for walk or for a small talk on phone with your close ones, you are not attacked by criminals when you get lost in your conversations thus keeping you safe and secure. 

Of course, terrace lighting is no exception from this. What about pool lights, lantern lights that hang near the entrance all these could be of ancient designs but operated smartly when you work with light switch replacement experts who have been working with multiple clients across the city.
