Be Aware Of Damaged Lighting Within Your Outdoor Lighting System

Replace Those Damaged Lights

This is the most cost-effective and environmentally friendly lighting option for your landscape. If certain lights appear dim, you should also consider replacing them.
Consider Using Timers On Your Lights
Timers can save your lights a lot of wear and tear. You can use timers to turn off lights when they are not needed. If your lighting system allows it, you can program your lights to turn on at dusk and off at dawn, for example.
Be Sure To Also Clean Your Light Fixtures As Well
