Outdoor lighting is not necessarily the same as landscape lighting, although both types of lighting should work together. One way to think of the two separately is to consider outdoor lighting as lighting for non-landscaped areas, such as your home, driveway, patio, and pool/deck.

Outdoor lighting is designed to complement and spotlight the architectural style of your home located in The Woodlands, Conroe or Spring, TX. Therefore, outdoor lighting designs are just as varied as the architectural styles of homes. Outdoor lighting gives a first impression of your home. Outdoor lighting is also used to increase safety by making existing paths more easily walkable at night and by deterring intruders.
The fixtures used in outdoor lighting are usually highly decorative, regardless of their style, because they are made to be seen. Outdoor lighting fixtures are commonly installed near entryways or garage doors and on posts or columns, but can also be hung from porch or other ceilings.
Wall lanterns and sconces are commonly used outdoor lighting fixtures. They provide a source of indirect up-lighting and down-lighting which enhances a homes curb appeal. And similar to indoor lighting, outdoor lighting can combine wall and overhead fixtures with table fixtures and floor lamps. Some other examples of outdoor lighting fixtures include string lights, hurricane lights, pendant lights, and flush lights. In most cases to ensure safe installation, at minimum a professional electrician is required.
The demand for cost-effective, environmentally-friendly ways to provide outdoor lighting is causing this field to evolve quickly. As a result, the use of energy-efficient lamps, low voltage fixtures, and solar power have increased. In fact, most outdoor lamps are versatile enough to be used for landscape lighting, outdoor lighting, or even both at the same time.
