How can you decorate with different types of outdoor lighting?

Outdoor lighting is used for illumination, decoration, security, and often a combination of the three. When coming up with outdoor lighting ideas, think about the overall effect you’re hoping to achieve, which will provide you with a great starting point for getting the exact outdoor lighting you need. There are several different types of outdoor lighting to get started with, including: Outdoor string lights work great as outdoor patio lights, hung from poles, pergolas, or roofs to cast a warm, inviting gleam on your summer night get-together. If you like the feeling of safety a well-lit property provides, outdoor wall lighting like sconces and outdoor flood lights situated in the garden illuminate your home and walkways through the night. Outdoor porch lights such as outdoor pendant lighting welcome guests into your home, or give you a low-light glow to enjoy a nightcap before bed or coffee when waking. Shops on Etsy feature a wide range of outdoor lighting with different bulb types, enhanced features, and different colors to set your desired mood. Outdoor solar lights use tiny, efficient solar panels to soak up the sun’s energy and repurpose it to light your garden path or back door. Outdoor solar lights usually come with the ability to turn on automatically as the sun lowers, and some steadily brighten as the night turns darker. Outdoor solar lighting is typically easy to install, eliminating the worry with hardwiring, exterior power outlets, or outdoor-rated extension cords. Many outdoor hanging lights, like bistro lights , feature color changing abilities, giving you the entire rainbow of shades and hues to illuminate your space. Set the brightness of your outdoor hanging lights, or program them to flash, glow, or follow a certain twinkle pattern.

What types of materials are best for outdoor lighting?

Outdoor lights are designed to withstand the elements, and each outdoor lighting material provides a different look. Depending on the ambiance you’re trying to create, here’s what you need to know about the common outdoor light materials: Metal outdoor lighting provides a modern, industrial feel thanks to rubberized aluminum or stainless steel frames, poles, and chains. Bamboo outdoor lighting fixtures are naturally resistant to the ravages of weather and sun, as the plant already has these properties. Bamboo lights add tropical island flair to your outdoor space. Durable plastics are an affordable option for outdoor lighting—many have been specially treated with UV coating to prevent fading, and plastic naturally keeps water out of the wires. These designs can mimic more expensive fixtures for much less.
