Lighting for Outdoor Patio Living
Planning for the lighting of the outdoor patio can seem overwhelming. There are so many different lighting types available and just as many levels of light, from subdue romantic lights to in-your-face security lights. Creating the right mixture of the two should be the ultimate goal for a lighting plan for outdoor patio living.
In addition to lighting that is installed on and around the patio there are also lights that can be used when needed then relegated to the storage bin until the next time they are needed. These types of lights include rope lighting in holiday colors, tiki torches and lanterns. These can be the perfect lighting solutions for entertaining but not the type of lighting that is used year round.
Patio lighting for entertaining should be soft and yet bright enough for guests to be able to see each other while mingling. If dinner is being served on the patio there should be enough lighting to be able to see what is on the plate. On the other hand, the lights don't have to be bright enough to allow the neighbors to see as clearly as if they were at the party.
Patio doors are often sliding glass or double-door entryways. These entryways are often the first place where a would-be intruder attempts to enter the house. Adding motion detector lights is one way to scare these intruders away. When the intruder approaches the patio the lights automatically turn on and the intruder will typically flee. There should also be a switch to manually turn this light on and off from inside the home. This allows the motion detector to be turned off when there are guests. It also allows the light to be manually turned on when the homeowner needs to light up the patio from inside the home.
Lighting for outdoor patio living is an important consideration when choosing the types of lights to install. In addition to personal taste, the use of the patio must be taken into consideration and plans made that best light up the area for those uses. Additionally, as with any outdoor lighting plan, safety and security lighting must be considered and planned for as well.
