LED Patio Lighting

Patios, decks, gazebos, and all things outdoors have gained popularity in the last decade. People love to entertain, and as a result, the demand for outdoor spaces is increasing. The problem most homeowners face with these areas is that once the sun goes down, without lighting, they become tripping hazards. And who wants a lot of bright lights on while enjoying a relaxing evening outdoors.

Thanks to the low energy usage and no heat output of LED lights, overhead drape lighting, also known as bistro lighting has become popular for outdoor entertainment areas. This type of lighting offers a nice ambiance, without overpowering the area with illumination. Great for those late nights enjoying a drink with good company on the patio.

Pools and Water Features

Adding LED lighting fixtures around your pool or water feature can increase these areas’ beauty and safety. Lighting your pool area without additional wired lighting costs helps ensure your family's safety while preserving the aesthetic of your pool area.

Events and Special Occasion Lighting

Your indoor and outdoor lighting can set the mood for any event you host. Whether you're having a few guests over or looking for light decorations for wedding festivities, LED bulbs will do the trick. Their cost-efficiency, easy installation, and storage-friendly design make them ideal for your social gatherings.
