You love pulling into your driveway after a long day and seeing the beautiful landscaping in which you’ve invested. You know that your landscaping provides other benefits besides bringing joy to your life, but you aren’t focused on those all the time. That knowledge just sits in the background, validating your feelings. Part of those benefits is knowing that the team at Bluegrass Incorporated stands behind their installation of everything that has not only enhanced your home’s curb appeal but has also improved its property value and security. We would like to take a moment to talk about landscape lighting and how advantageous it is during the winter months. We also want to remind our older customers that we adjust timers for daylight savings and how upgrading to newer LED lights offers a great deal of benefits.
How is landscape lighting beneficial during the dark winter months?
You are never so aware of how long your workday is until winter hits and you’re pulling onto your road when it’s dark out. You’re wondering why your landscape lights haven’t turned on yet when you realize that you need your automatic timer adjusted. Here at Bluegrass, we don’t just install your lighting, then leave you. We are here for any routine maintenance you need as well, and that includes setting your timers. Now you can look forward to the glow of fallen snow when you pull in throughout the winter.
Landscape lighting delivers three main benefits — it’s aesthetically pleasing, provides safety, and improves security. One of the best benefits that your landscape lighting provides throughout the winter is that it illuminates walkways and driveways that may become slippery. Whether you have hanging lanterns or spotlights, you and your guests may be able to identify a potentially icy spot to avoid falling, keeping you safe.
How does it improve your home’s security? There are less daylight hours, providing more of an opportunity for trespassers to take advantage of the darkness. The fact is that burglars are less likely to even attempt approaching a house that has a well-lit exterior.
LED landscape lights vs traditional bulbs…
Time passes, and technology advances. This applies to nearly everything in life, including landscape lighting. If you have older lighting, you may want to consider upgrading to more advanced LED lighting. Some of the benefits include:
· Longer lifespan – they can last up to 100,000 hours or about 11 years of continuous use. They also won’t just burn out but will slowly dim as a warning.
· Eco-friendly – they are made without using toxic chemicals and are completely recyclable.
· Weather-resistant – they can withstand harsh temperatures, rain, and storms.
· Fewer pests – LED lights do not emit the UV light that attracts insects like traditional bulbs do.
· Money savings – LED lights are extremely low voltage, using less electricity than both incandescent and halogen bulbs. You can save up to 80% by switching to LED.
· Energy efficient – LED lights are up to 80% more efficient than traditional bulbs with 95% of their energy being converted into light and only 5% wasted as heat. This leaves them cool to the touch, which reduces the risk of fire. Traditional bulbs do the exact opposite, converting 95% to heat and emitting only 5% as light.
