It’s a summer night and you are having friends or family over. Everyone is outside playing games, enjoying the warm weather until something happens: an injury. Even more unfortunate, an injury that could have easily been prevented. Setting up outdoor lighting for the pathways around your home could definitely reduce potential injuries by increasing the amount of light. It’s also pleasantly inviting for guests to see lights as they pull into your home. This is especially the case for first-time visitors.
Your landscape lighting needs to be adequate enough for people to know exactly where to walk in order to enter your home. This could help prevent injuries and prevent damaging your yard. This is the best way to protect yourself and your guests while still enjoying your outside space this summer. Today, Georgia Lightscapes will share with you a few types of pathway lighting that would be best for reducing injuries outside of your home.
First, let’s start with what kind of injuries are common to occur outside, which is why it’s best to amp up your outdoor lighting.
- Sprained ankles and wrists
- Cuts and abrasions
- Head injuries
These are just a few of the extremely common injuries that especially occur in small children because of how playful they are. So instead of the potential of having scarred knees and bad ankles, invest in outdoor lighting to prevent these from happening. A few areas to specifically focus on the outside are any pathways, the areas around your pool, deck or other outdoor seating areas.
Pathway Lighting To Consider
String Lights
This is more of a unique way to light up your pathway, but it is absolutely beautiful when we are able to light up your home using string lights. String lights are an ideal outdoor lighting option because they can easily be strung along your deck, gazebo, pool area, porch and more! String lights perfectly create a beautiful, vibrant look to brighten up your pathways. These are also great to brighten up a small space. You don’t need a long pathway to utilize our lighting services, we will create an amazing and unforgettable space regardless!
Spotlights
If you are looking for a lighting option that points in only one direction, like a sidewalk, a spotlight is perfect for this. Small spotlights are great for lining your pathway, but be cautious to not trip over them or knock them down! Pathway lighting can help tremendously with preventing injuries but accidents do still happen. We understand that, so if this is the case be sure to give us a call at 404-974-4632 and we will help you in whatever way we can. With this being said, it is important to know what warranties are offered on products and services because some warranties only cover certain parts of the system while others cover everything. The warranty period will be specified in the contract, so there would be no surprises later on if something goes wrong with one or more components of your system.
In-Ground Lights
In-ground lights are essential in outdoor lighting! They are a popular request not only because of the design, but also the energy efficiency, and long-lasting capabilities. When Georgia Lightscapes comes to install your pathway lighting, we are very conscious of not creating any damage or disrupting your current landscape. We have been able to provide outdoor lighting solutions for many homes, and are confident in our abilities to turn your home into a safe, well-lit environment. Adding inground lighting will be great all year round because of the safety they provide to your family and your guests.
