Patio Lighting
To begin the outdoor lighting sections, we’ll take a look at one of the most popular areas that needs light — the patio or deck. You’ll want to make sure that the majority of this space is lit well so you can socialize, play games, and share meals with those you love.
Flood Lights
One of the easiest options for full lighting on your patio will be flood lights. These can easily attach to your house, posts, or pergolas, and they will provide your area with plenty of bright light. The downside to flood lights is that the light they provide can often be too harsh for a truly warm and intimate feeling. But this bright light will be perfect for playing games or illuminating other activities.
Integrated Lighting
Integrating lighting into your patio’s design can be a great way to add some light to the overall design. If your layout accommodates, you can utilize all-weather light fixtures as permanent decorations or string rope lights or outdoor bulbs across your pergola or latticework. This can give ambiance to the space and encourage peaceful and calm evenings outdoors. If you have posts that are high enough off the ground, you can also place flush lighting fixtures and affix them around the deck to give a warmer, softer light than traditional flood lights.
Lighting For Enclosed Patios
If you’ve made your patio into a full outdoor room, you will have even more options for lighting. Since you will have a ceiling, you now gain the ability to add a fixture or two to the top of your patio. This can range from simple hanging pendant lights to a ceiling fan with lighting.
