Transform Your Backyard With These Stunning LED Lighting Styles

Posted on

Australians love their backyards. They're increasingly becoming considered less a simple outdoor area and more an extension of the living space of a home. If you're in the process of giving your backyard a makeover and creating an outdoor room, then you'll need to consider what lighting plan will work best for the overall design.

LED lights are a popular choice for outdoor lighting plans. They're inexpensive, long lasting and versatile. Here are three styles of LED lighting that will help to create an ambient and eye-catching space in your backyard.

LED strip lighting

LED strip lighting is an incredibly versatile way to add light to your outdoor living space. As the name suggests, this type of lighting comes in ribbon-like lengths which can be shaped to fit the contours of the area you wish to light up. They generally come in a single colour of illumination, but you can also buy multi-coloured strips if you're feeling more adventurous.

LED strip lighting is perfect for illuminating paths, garden beds and water features in the garden. They can also be used to light up the inside of garden structures such as decks, patios, pergolas and gazebos.

LED tiles

LED tiles are in-ground lights which can be walked on just like regular tiles. You can choose from circular, square, rectangular or strip LED tiles so you'll be able to match them with the other tiles you've selected for your patio or pathway.

LED tiles can be used to create a luminous border around your patio or along your pathway. You can also get a bit more creative by creating a checker-board effect or using the tiles to create a bright and glowing pattern.

LED landscape lights

LED landscape lights are made with the specific task of highlighting garden features in mind. They're a fantastic way to make features out of structural plants, water features and hard landscaping additions to your backyard.

LED landscape lights can be set into the ground for a more subtle lighting of the desired feature. They also come in the form of ground mounted spot lights, which provide a more dramatic look, and can be easily redirected to turn their focus onto different parts of the backyard.

Creating a stunning lighting plan for your backyard is a great way to get the most out of your outdoor living space. Contact your local residential electrical service specialists to discuss how you can use them to achieve the best lighting effects possible.
