It’s spooky season, and you never know what could be lurking in the shadows around your home. The days are shorter, and the darkness lingers into the morning. Cute little ghosts and goblins may be a welcome sight in the fall, but nobody wants to worry about unwanted visitors who use the dark to their advantage. Fortunately, an outdoor lighting design by Luminocity inspired outdoor lighting can shine a light in the dark spaces. Luminocity’s outdoor lighting can illuminate your home’s beauty and scare away the spooky stuff that’s never any fun, regardless of the season.
Studies have shown that outdoor lighting can cut down on crime. Read on to find out how a professional outdoor lighting design makes your home more secure, even in the darkest days of an Indiana winter.
Keep a light on your entryway
Put yourself in the shoes of a bad guy for a moment. (Don’t worry – we know you’re one of the good ones at heart.) If you’re staking out a neighborhood and you want to check a front door, are you going to choose the one that’s bathed in light, or the one that is hiding in the shadows. Well lit outdoor entrances can deter crime simply by making these areas less appealing to intruders. They’re also helpful to the homeowners. After all, who wants to worry about navigating a dark entryway or searching for your keys with only a little bit of moonlight for illumination?
Lighting the (drive)way
Many of our central Indiana homeowners are lucky enough to have mature trees on their property, which is great during the summer months when we’re all craving the shade. But Mother Nature’s canopy can create extra shadows, which is why your outdoor lighting design should include driveway and path lighting. A professional lighting design means you don’t have to worry about being blinded by the lights when you’re coming home. Instead, Luminocity’s trained lighting technicians can install lighting that is intentionally placed to add beauty as well as functionality to your home and property.
Lighting works with your security cameras
Your home is your castle, and you’ve invested in a good security camera system to keep an eye out for troublemakers. But if you’ve scrimped on a lighting system, you run the risk of creating new shadows for the cameras or even washing out images with too much lighting. Stick with a professional lighting designer like Luminocity to create a system that coordinates with your security camera.
Strike the right lighting balance
If a little bit of light can discourage intruders, surely a lot of light is a brilliant security guarantee, right? Not necessarily. Too much bright light may be counterproductive. You know those spots you see after the camera flashes? That natural reaction can temporarily prevent you from seeing what’s in the shadows. A truly efficient outdoor lighting design begins with a professional who understands how to work with light. For instance, light fixtures near windows and passages can look beautiful, but they can also interfere with the people who are inside trying to enjoy a little privacy. A professional lighting designer like Luminocity understands how to properly include filters that minimize glare and maintain the right illumination.
A good outdoor lighting design adds life to your home
Indiana loses about 130 seconds of daylight each day in the fall. Those 1.5 minutes can add up to extra dark hours over the winter months. A professional outdoor lighting design can ward off the darkness and keep it looking occupied, even if you’ve gone over the river and through the woods for a holiday gathering.
Let the trick-or-treaters handle the spooky tasks this holiday season. Banish the shadows of your home with a professionally designed outdoor lighting system by Luminocity inspired outdoor lighting.
