Investing in outdoor lighting can benefit your Memphis property in so many ways. With different types of lighting (and various techniques) having unique benefits, it makes sense that the best outdoor lighting designs are made up of many different lights.
Marker lighting is a specific example of a type of light that can add safety and visibility to your home.
In this article, we’ll talk about some of the specific benefits of using outdoor marker lights in your lighting design.
One of the uses of marker lighting can be to prevent yourself (or others) from running into something that you can’t see or tripping over something in your path.
For instance, if you have a windy driveway (or even just a really long one), you could use driveway marker lights to make sure that the entire path is well-lit and therefore safe and easy to navigate. In this way, the marker lights almost “lead the way” to the final destination (your parking spot).
Sometimes people use marker lights to light the edges of a sidewalk or pathway. If it’s a windy or dark path, this extra light provides some additional guidance to the walker to help them know where they are going.
Anytime that you’re adding thoughtfully placed lighting around your home, you are making an important step in increasing the security of your property.
Lights around your property make it less likely that a thief, vandal, or trespasser will attempt to enter. Not only do lights make it appear as though you’re home (even when you are not), but they also make it more likely that unwanted visitors will be “seen.”
Though marker lights serve an important purpose in helping you see where you’re going (or avoid running into things or tripping), they will also do double duty as helping your property to be well-lit.
While we usually think of marker lighting in terms of safety and visibility, there is no doubt that marker lights can also add ambiance.
Strategically placed marker lights can look beautiful in the landscape and contribute to the ambiance of an overall outdoor lighting design.
One of the benefits of using LED lighting technology is that it will also last longer and perform better than traditional lighting. It’s important to use the best technology so that you get the most out of your investment.
At the end of the day, marker lighting is just one of many different formats of lighting that can be used around your property in a thoughtful lighting design. Since every property is unique, the places where lights are best installed are going to differ from home to home. This is why it’s so important to work with a landscape lighting professional.
A landscape lighting professional can incorporate a variety of different types of lighting into your design so that it fulfills all of your property’s specific needs.
For example, if you have a windy or especially dark driveway, strategically placed marker lights can mean avoiding driving off of the path and therefore even prevent damage. And that’s just one example of how lights can have a significant impact on how you use your property.
