Install Energy-Efficient Bulbs
In today’s world, you have various lighting options for indoor and outdoor spaces. Modern technologies have given us LED lighting that is ten times more energy-efficient than previous options, such as compact fluorescent bulbs and halogen lighting. These bulbs cast a broader light, illuminating larger areas while conserving energy.
Choose Low Voltage Bulbs
Low-voltage lighting is ideal for landscape lighting because it conserves energy and lowers energy bills. If you install incredibly bright lights, it can be distracting for your neighbors and guests. When considering landscape lighting for your property, remember that five watts is enough for your landscape lighting design.
Maintain a Proper Light Height
When installing outdoor landscaping lights, it’s essential to consider their height as it can significantly impact their energy efficiency. To ensure even light distribution throughout your yard, utilizing lights of varying sizes is recommended. The key to achieving the perfect landscape lighting is strategically placing lights at different heights to illuminate every corner of your home’s exterior.
Utilize Timers For Your Landscape Lighting
To avoid an increase in your energy bills, it’s essential only to use your landscape lighting when it’s needed. By doing this, you can control when the lights are in use and the energy consumption. One way to ensure this is by setting timers on some or all of your landscape lights. Another option is a daylight sensor, which automatically adjusts the lights based on the sun’s rise and set. You should also consider a smart hub to operate your lights for even more significant energy savings.
