Homeowners are being advised to upgrade their outdoor lighting now, ahead of the autumn season.
The outdoor lighting experts from LightingLegends.com have shared that upgrading outdoor lighting now can help reduce energy costs, among other benefits. Upgrading to modern lighting options, like LEDs, is more energy efficient and environmentally friendly, meaning outdoor lighting is less likely to add significantly to rising winter bills. As the evenings begin drawing in, effective outdoor lighting can also enhance both safety and comfort around the home.
Adam Wilkins, managing director at Lighting Legends, commented: “Upgrading your outdoor lighting is one of those small jobs that can make a big difference to your outdoor space. While the weather’s still mild and the evenings are lighter, it’s the perfect time to get ahead before autumn really sets in and installation becomes more tricky. Switching to LEDs means you’ll be using less energy, which is great for your energy bills as we head into the colder months. Lighting is also great for home security, so getting it done now means you’ll head into autumn and winter with a brighter, safer space and a garden you can still enjoy through the seasons.“
Five reasons why you should upgrade your garden lighting now:
Switch to LED to help with winter bills
As the days get colder and darker, household bills begin to rise, changing your lighting to LED will help keep costs low. LEDs reduce energy consumption and also offer a more sustainable outdoor lighting option by lowering carbon emissions.
Installation before dark nights
The days are only going to get shorter and darker, so installing your outdoor lighting now will ensure a safer installation process and allow you to enjoy the darker evenings as they arrive. Getting it done early means you won’t have to rush or struggle with poor visibility and colder weather later on.
Make the most of the final summer evenings outdoors
Evenings are starting to get darker, but that doesn’t mean the weather isn’t still pleasant enough to sit outside. If you get your outdoor lighting installed now, you can enjoy the last of the summer evenings.
Enhanced safety and security
Installing outdoor lighting can significantly improve your home’s security in the evenings. Well-lit areas help deter intruders and make it safer for you and your family to move around outside after dark.
Boost your home’s curb appeal
Outdoor lighting can enhance your home’s curb appeal by combining practicality with stylish design. Well-placed lights can highlight features and create a welcoming atmosphere. This can make your property stand out from the crowd.
