Everyone wants to host the best backyard barbecue, but what about when the sun goes down? Don’t let the party end early just because you don’t have a well-lit backyard. Luminocity is helping our Central Indiana neighbors light up their outdoor living spaces this summer so that they can enjoy events even late into the night. With these tips, you’ll be ready to host backyard bashes all summer long!

1. Make a Photo-Worthy Event with String Lights 

String lights are everywhere this summer, but don’t let hanging them get you all tangled up. Working with the lighting experts at Luminocity for your hanging lights can ensure that you have the best positioning to keep your space looking inviting and your lights held secure. Plus, we can recommend the best outdoor string lights for your space, rather than just pulling out the holiday lights from last December. The incandescent string light look is quite popular right now, and there are many that even come in an LED option to help you save money and energy.

2. Add Backyard Ambiance with Lanterns & Torches

Lanterns, torches and bollards are another of our specialty services at Luminocity, and can create a special ambiance during your next backyard soiree. We can help you determine the best places for these freestanding lights, along with digging the power supply to ensure your guests don’t trip on cords. If you do find a wire that is exposed or cut, our Annual Maintenance Plan members can have it serviced at no charge! Our AMP is your best value for consistent maintenance and service needs. 

3. Light up a Night Swim with Pool Lighting

Speaking of ambiance, if you have a pool, you’ll want to set the right mood for your next night swim alone or during a party. We know that pools require specific lighting, and our experts can get the job done right while focusing on beauty and function. Our outdoor pool lighting design will ensure both the safety and enjoyment of one of the top outdoor features of your home. If you prefer watching fish swim over swimming yourself, Luminocity can also light up your home’s pond so that you and your guests can check out your fish friends no matter the time of day. 

4. Show off your Backyard Landscaping 

Our landscape and deck lighting will show up the hard work you’ve put into designing your backyard living space, and working with a Luminocity technician will get you the best in placement and shadow management. Knowing which trees to highlight and which to keep dark are key elements of lighting design, and we will also ensure that the lighting doesn’t interfere with life inside your home. At Luminocity, every lighting design is carefully considered to determine which features of the home and landscaping should be accented with lights and which areas should remain dark.If you’re ready to make your backyard an oasis to enjoy both day and night, call the experts at Luminocity to discuss your outdoor lighting options.
