We all do our best to ensure that our house is protected from any sort of danger. Although people spend so much on all sorts of locks and cameras, most forget that outdoor security lighting can play a major part in the protection of your house as well.
If you are interested in investing in outdoor security lighting, floodlights are your best bet when it comes to making your house secure. There are many benefits of floodlights. On top of that, choosing the right kind is also very important, and all that is discussed here.
Before We Start, Let’s Talk About What Floodlights Are
Floodlights are LED lights which provide a wide range of illumination that can cover a large area or an area which reaches far from where the floodlight is installed. They come in various forms. You would have normally seen floodlights installed in parks, properties and playgrounds.
Most floodlights are installed due to the movement sensor installed in them which focuses the light where any movement is sensed through the sensor. Floodlights can also be used for their aesthetics, as there are lights that wash over walls and trees to make your house give off an inviting vibe.
Why Choosing the Right Floodlights is Important
The type of floodlight you go for might impact your life more than you think it would.
Let us suppose that you get a floodlight which has a wide and high beam that covers a large area but your yard is not that large. Since the beam of the floodlight would be high, it most likely will cover the yard of your neighbor too. This can become a hassle for you as well because the neighbor may not appreciate the invasion of privacy.
Benefits Floodlights Offer
Flood lighting has many benefits depending upon how you are using them.
The Biggest Advantage: Security
This does not need to be said, but in case you are unaware of this: flood lighting can massively increase the security of your home. When it comes to landscape lighting, you are not only looking to enhance beauty but security as well.
Flood lighting can lighten up all the dark corners of your landscape to improve the outdoor security at nighttime. Since the landscape lighting will be covering every spot with flood lighting, any intruder will have to do a double take before trying to enter your home.
Highly Functional
Flood lighting can be functional not just for your safety but for the family gatherings in your yard as well. At nighttime, family gatherings are so much better if you are in a well-lit environment.
If you want a more relaxing time in your yard, get the flood lighting with warmer tones so you can not only see everything properly at nighttime but also do not have to stare at harsh fluorescent lighting every day.
They Are Eco-Friendly
Being eco-friendly matters when it comes to landscape lighting. LED flood lights are highly efficient when it comes to conversing electricity as well as producing the least heat emissions. LED bulbs are free of any harmful substances as well since they do not contain mercury, lead, carbon and other substances.
Helps in Saving Energy
Due to the rising costs of everything, electricity is just one of the things that have become an additional consideration for many households. But what if we tell you that you do not need to worry about energy saving when it comes to LED flood lighting?
LED flood lighting is a highly energy saving alternative compared to most landscape lighting options. Since it is cost effective, you can leave it on throughout the night as well without worrying about a hefty bill.
Improves the Architectural Beauty of Your Home
If your house has walls with interesting texture such as stone walls or textured paint, flood lights can enhance it massively by planting it in a lower position and facing it upwards. This way the soft flood lighting can gently wash over the walls and enhance the architecture.
Enhances Your Landscapes
Flood lights do not need to be just for security purposes. They can be an amazing option for you to highlight the landscape of your house by placing it in a position where it can ‘wash’ its light over the landscape. This gives a very soft inviting glow to your landscape which you cannot do with most other types of lighting fixtures.
