Natural

Appeal

Lighting does not look the

same outdoors vs. inside.

Start with these tips to light

your outdoor rooms safely

and comfortably.

DESIGN IN LAYERSLike

indoors, use ambient, task, and

accent lights. Consider damp- or

wet-rated pendants or chandeliers

in covered spaces. Add sconces or

directional lights in cooking areas.

Uplights highlight focal-point

plants and architecture. Path and

step lights are a safety must.

CHECK PLACEMENT Plan

your light scheme at night to ensure

the light doesn’t pollute your indoor

spaces, wash out your sky view,

waste energy, or fl ood over to your

neighbor. Use refl ectors or shielding

to direct light where you want it.

Aim lights to avoid glare and other

hazards. Check placement often.

THINK PRACTICAL Even

in protected areas, lights will

be exposed to wind, dust, and

moisture. Choose UL-listed fi xtures

for outdoor use. Set up lighting

zones and use dimmer switches.

Outdoor lighting can also easily

connect to smart lighting systems.

GUIDING LIGHTS

Environmental concerns

have led to stylish lights

for ecologically sensitive

and Dark Sky areas.
