Make Your Outdoors Look Brilliant with Outdoor Ceiling Lights

Posted by Simple Lighting on August 29th, 2017

Outdoor lighting should not be overlooked, as it is critical to the look and feel of your home’s exterior. Without it, your property might look as though it has been abandoned. Lack of proper lighting can even encourage thieves to try breaking into your property, as they might think that no one is home.

Overhead lighting fitted to your front door canopy will make your home look warm and welcoming, especially at night. For your deck roof, patio gazebo, balcony, or porch consider installing high-quality outdoor ceiling lights that can provide proper illumination and add a layer of security for you and your guests. The right outdoor lighting is versatile and will add an element of style to those areas, too.

Many different types of outdoor ceiling lights are available online, and they come in different styles and sizes to suit your exterior design requirements. Round ceiling lights create a timeless look, while rectangular ceiling lights offer a more modern appeal to your outdoor spaces. Some lights come in various finishes for added flair. Titanium downlights, for instance, create a soft, elegant look and feel to outdoor lounging areas, while traditional stainless steel or aluminium finishes are neutral and can go with any modern décor or exterior design.

Consider the type of material used to determine the best type of outdoor ceiling lights for your home. Brass, for instance, can hold up to any environment. Cast aluminium is more affordable, but it may easily corrode without a weather-resistant finish. Ceramic is decorative, weather-proof, and weather-resistant, and copper is capable of holding up to all kinds of climates.

Take note of the size of your outdoor area and where you intend to install the lighting before you start shopping for outdoor ceiling lights. While these lights are typically installed for decorative purposes at entryways, you can be as creative as you want and treat them as lighting to add to the illumination provided by wall sconces, recessed lighting, and landscape lighting. You need to consider the bulb type and energy efficiency of your outdoor ceiling lights, too. Due to their environment, you may need to consider LED bulbs with the correct IP Rating that are proven to perform well in damp conditions. Avoid choosing the maximum wattage for outdoor ceiling lights, as it can result in blinding lights for passers-by and neighbours.
