Outdoor and Exterior Lighting Information
Residential and Commercial Lighting Series
Exterior lighting is an important choice for the consumer. Not only
does outdoor lighting directly effect a homeowner's safety and security, but it
has a direct impact on curb appeal and resale value as well. Exterior
lighting must be practical as well as attractive. Lighting designers must
blend wattage requirements with aesthetics to create a functional lighting
plan. Too little illumination can lead to safety hazards such as trips and
falls by visitors, as well as unwelcome visits by burglars. Too much
wattage can leave a home with a garish glare unpleasing to the eye and damaging
to home values.
Further, the exterior environment of your home is a demanding location. The effects of moisture, cold, sunlight and other environmental variables can be extremely detrimental to exterior lighting fixtures. Quality outdoor lighting manufacturers use superior materials and finish techniques to ensure the maximum life from your exterior lighting fixture while maintaining the wonderful appearance we all desire. The cheap, stamped-out fixtures offered by some chain stores may seem tempting to some consumers. Unfortunately, these consumers are usually rewarded with a fixture that not only fails prematurely, but looks like it was purchased at a discount store as well. Take a drive down your street at night and you will see exactly what we mean!
We have put together links to the exterior lighting catalogs of some of the
most respected names in quality lighting available today. In these
catalogs you will find wall brackets and sconces, hanging fixtures, lamp posts
and pier mounts as well as other unique products. These exterior fixtures
are available in finishes such as polished brass, verdigris patina, raw copper
and bronze, and are adorned in an amazing collection of domestic and imported
glasses including art glass, seedy glass and more. The lighting styles
here encompass everything from mission style, inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright to
nautical, traditional and contemporary.
