Low-Voltage Outdoor Ambiance Light Ideas

Fall is finally settling in! And while fall in Florida isn’t quite the same as up north, we still get to see the weather shift from the sweltering summer heat. Plus, we get shorter days, earlier sunsets, and cool breezes off the Bay and beaches make being outside much more enjoyable. 

Is your outdoor space ready for Fall? Here are some low-voltage ambiance light ideas to brighten up your outdoor living space this season! 

Why Low-Voltage LED Lights? 

Make the switch to low-voltage LED outdoor lights. Whether you currently have old outdoor halogen lights or are ready to install outdoor lighting, it is time to switch over to LED lights. 

While low-voltage LED lights have a higher upfront cost, the long-term benefits are worth it. Low-voltage LED lights are energy-efficient, last longer, require less maintenance, do not pose a fire hazard, and will not pop in the cold. 

You will more than make up the cost difference over time, especially since the days are shorter and you will be using more of your outdoor lighting more of the time.

Make The Most of Your Low-Voltage LED Lights 

Let’s light it up! Our electricians want you to make the most of your new LED outdoor lights. Here are some suggestions to consider when creating outdoor ambiance using LED lights: 

Install a timer > 

No one wants to be turning lights on and off, all day and night. A timer will also help you save on your energy bill if you are one that often forgets to turn off the lights.  

We can install a specialty plug that you can use to control your lights right from your phone! One of the biggest benefits of a timer is having it set to turn on at dusk, so you never have to come home in the dark. Another perk is you don’t have to wonder, ‘did I turn the lights off?’, again.  

Color-changing lights >  

Consider using color-changing lights. Colored lights can spruce up a monochromatic landscape or make a holiday scene more festive. Colored lights can also be used to enhance and create different lighting effects, such as in fountains, water features, or near/on trees.  

May we recommend a bright blue? 

Focus on task lighting >  

Task lighting may not be at the forefront of your mind when you think of outdoor ambiance, but nonetheless, task lighting is important, especially if you are entertaining outside.  

Focus on where you need light the most…by the grill, on your pergola, by the hot tub, or on your ceiling fan? Any space is game if you want to make your area usable after dark.
