The days are getting shorter, and the nights are longer. It’s fall in Indiana, and you’re wondering how you can bring a little light into the darkness that takes over in the winter months. Why not add outdoor lighting to your landscape? You may think fall is too late to start thinking about an outdoor project like landscape lighting. But here at Luminocity inspired outdoor lighting, we think fall can be the right time to paint your home in light and brush away the shadows of winter.
If your home is sitting in the dark – or if your current outdoor lighting setup needs a makeover, Luminocity is your go-to landscape lighting expert. Let’s look at why new outdoor lighting is such a good idea this fall.
1. The days are getting shorter, and you need more light
Indianapolis has just over 12 hours of daylight when fall officially begins on September 23. We’re on our way to the shortest day, December 21, when we will see only 9 hours and 21 minutes of daylight. That’s a lot of darkness around your home. Professionally installed outdoor lighting does more than point floodlights at your home. Done right, it enhances the look of your home and yard, makes it easier to get around at night, and adds additional security to your property.
2. Your trees and foliage aren’t so fragile in the fall
We love spring, with its bursts of blossoms and tender green leaves. But even the most careful contractor may break a few twigs or crush a new blossom during a landscape or lighting project. When you opt for a fall installation, however, many of the trees and plants around your home are entering their dormant phase. We’ll always be careful, but fall makes it easier to protect your landscape design.
3. Outdoor lighting helps extend the outdoor entertaining season
Indiana summers never seem to last long enough, do they? With the right lighting, you don’t have to pack up the outdoor party plans just yet. Extend the open-air entertaining season now with a professional outdoor lighting design. Sure, the pool may be covered, but there’s still plenty of time for a bonfire bash. Pathway lighting, deck lighting, lanterns, torches and bollards will bring the necessary illumination for continued outdoor soirees.
4. You’ll enjoy peace of mind
Security is a top homeowner concern. Between the shorter days and the gloomy skies, you may have many dark pockets around your home. Outdoor lighting fills in their dark spaces with light, making your home less tempting for potential criminals. Plus, you’ll enjoy the added benefit of beauty along with the safety aspect of outdoor lighting. What’s not to love?
5. Outdoor lighting highlights the winter landscape
While spring and summer may seem like landscape stars, fall and winter are waiting in the wings, ready to take the stage with their own unique beauty. Whether you’re highlighting your snow-shrouded home or you’re playing with the shadows cast by bare trees, outdoor lighting can add an additional layer of beauty to your home during the colder months.
