Pot lights are a great illumination option for many rooms in your home. This type of recessed lighting can modernize the look of your home, make your rooms appear larger, and make it easy to clean your living spaces. While pot lights are great for many rooms, they’re also an excellent option for enhancing your outdoor lighting, especially when you consider outdoor pot lights that use LEDs.
If you’re considering adding lighting to your home’s exterior, consider the following helpful information from professional electrical contractors, Langstaff & Sloan.
Benefits of Exterior Pot Lights
Some of the benefits of interior recessed lighting also hold true for lighting outdoors. As you explore your options for lighting your outdoor spaces, be sure to keep in mind the following benefits of exterior pot lights:
Create a Modern Look for Your Outdoor Living Spaces
Pot lights, regardless of location, create a streamlined look in a living space. Lamps, hanging fixtures, and other traditional lights will stand out. While they offer much-needed illumination, they can clutter your space and make a home look outdated. Exterior Pot lights boast modern appeal and will improve the look of your living space, even outdoors.
Add Value to Your Home
Since pot lights will enhance the look of your home, this will contribute to your home’s value. Consider using pot lights outside your home’s entrance, on patios and decks, around pool and garden areas, and in more outdoor spaces. You’ll be able to make use of these spaces at night when they’re well lit, thereby extending your living spaces and levelling up your home’s exterior to attract the eye of interested buyers.
Enhance Safety and Security
Well-lit outdoor areas of your home make it easy for you to move around at night as well as ensure safety for you and your family. Since outdoor pot lights are recessed, you can avoid extra clutter like lamp posts or hanging lights.
Outdoor lighting also creates warmth. As guests arrive, inviting lights will create a warm welcome and an inviting ambiance for your family and friends. On the other hand, a bright, well-lit home can deter unwanted wildlife or intruders and enhance the security around your home.
Take Advantage of Custom Lighting Options
The spacing, beam angle, and more features of your pot lights can be customized to your liking. Be sure to ask us about all the options available to you so that you can create just the right ambiance for your outdoor living spaces.
Learn About LED Exterior Pot Lights
Did you know, LED lights can last an average of 50,000 hours compared to an incandescent bulb’s relatively short 1,200-hour lifespan? As you explore your options for outdoor lighting, it’s crucial that you don’t overlook LED pot lights. These lights are known for their energy efficiency, which will result in a lower electricity bill for your home.
The full range of advantages of LEDs includes:
• Generates less heat and zero UV emissions.
• Energy-efficient, using less energy compared to traditional incandescent lights.
• Made without toxic chemicals, reducing your carbon footprint.
• Offers controlled lighting, allowing you to change the colour and brightness.
• Creates wider beam angles for more illumination.
• Does not burn out like traditional lights, lasting over 10 years.
If your home already has recessed outdoor lighting that isn’t LED, be sure to reach out to us for replacement so that you can take advantage of the noted benefits. Unfortunately, replacing and updating recessed lighting isn’t as simple as putting a new LED into the old fixture. You’ll require support from a licensed electrician to complete the replacement and ensure that the work is done safely, correctly, and to code.
The good news is that the cost to replace your older pot lights with LED pot light replacement is well worth the investment so that you will benefit from the full range of advantages.
