How to light up your summer nights
|
(ARA) - Starry evenings and backyard entertainment go hand-in-hand.
When the sun goes down, the right landscape lighting can turn any
backyard into a stylish outdoor living space. With so many options,
it's easy to fill your nights with light to enhance security, decor and
entertainment.
"Lighting your landscape is like working with a canvas with you as the
artist," says Jon Carloftis, garden and landscape designer. "Consumers
are demanding outdoor
lighting solutions that offer great design and conserve
energy and money. It's important to choose lighting with an eye toward
your home's architectural features and practicality."
Carloftis offers these simple tips to light up your nights:
* Keep your lighting simple. Start with one main lighting source and
add accent lighting to highlight garden features. Don't over-light. It
wastes energy, is costly and unappealing.
* For illuminating your entryway, deck and patio, use lighting that
mimics moonlight, like new solar-powered lighting systems.
* Stagger path lights. Be creative.
* Skip the complicated wiring and costly electric bills by using new
solar lights.
* With energy costs rising, people are looking for ways to cut costs.
Decorative lights illuminate specific areas but draw on energy, have
wires that need to be hidden and need replacement bulbs.
Twenty-first-century solutions - like solar energy - harness the power
of the sun to illuminate the night.

"Now everyone can get in on the solar revolution," says Marc Jensen,
marketing director for Byron Originals, Inc., makers of the new
SunLight 180 System. The latest high tech solar-powered
outdoor lighting appliances come in styling that's durable and
low-maintenance. They harness the sun's power by day, and when provided
with enough light energy from the sun, last throughout the night.
"SunLight 180 delivers warm white light equivalent to a 40-watt
incandescent bulb, packaged in a sleek design," says Jensen. "Plus
consumers can save on costly energy bills with the low-voltage,
high-efficiency LED fixture that requires no electrician or special
wiring." For more information, visit www.Sunlight180.com.
