Types of Outdoor Lighting in Oakville
In order to better understand your outdoor lighting design needs, consider the following outdoor lighting classifications:
Decorative Lighting: this will add to the overall value of your home by illuminating areas of your yard where you can socialize with family and friends. Our tiki lamps provide a nice downlighting effect and enhance the mood around the pool or near the BBQ.
Landscape lighting: if your garden is the envy of your neighbourhood, why not show off all of the interesting feature that make your yard beautiful with a little lighting? Try our mini wash light for garden areas or our above ground well light for trees or fountains.
Security lighting: your home or your business is valuable, so naturally, you’ll want to protect it. Use lights that illuminate a large area to discourage trespassers. Sensors or timers are also effective. Our spot light or in ground well light add a pop of discouraging light to your landscape.
Specialty lighting: think of this like Christmas lights, but without any holiday connotations. They are simply to enhance the enjoyment you receive from your outdoor space. All of our lights can be used to increase the atmosphere, so why don’t you ask your Nite Time Décor consultant for ambiance enhancing lighting fixtures?
