Not all outdoor wall lanterns are alike. You could go with very bright designs or with subtle lighting that provides a pleasing warm light.
It is best, when designing your “lightscape”, to mix and match the different types of outdoor lighting to avoid your landscape from looking like a ride at the county carnival. To help you avoid this, you will need to consider the change in vegetation so that you can properly mix the lighting and move it to accent the proper areas over time.
One low-cost way to ease installation and adapt to changing vegetation growth is to install low-voltage lighting (which uses a transformer to convert the 120volts from your house to 12volts which can be easily used by the lighting fixtures).
Low-voltage systems consist of at least three components;
Low-voltage lighting is flexible and easy to use. These outdoor lights can be easily moved as plants grow and do not require extensive electrical knowledge to install ( following the installation guides should be sufficient). In fact, most installations can be finished within an hour or two while using only a screwdriver.
One additional consideration is that low-voltage lighting is shockless and therefore safe around children and pets.
When considering the ease of installation, low-cost and safety issues, low-voltage lighting is a very attractive option for you to consider when installing outdoor wall lanterns.
When designing a patio or porch that you can entertain guests on those warm nights, one way to provide a more inviting space is to install outdoor wall lanterns.
When you are looking to bring outdoor lighting to the solitude of your patio or just simply want to beautify that space in order to provide a more asthetic appeal, wall lanterns are an excellent choice.
Wall lanterns come in different shapes, sizes and styles. With different designs and colors the possibilities for your patio are almost endless. You could go with a minimalistic approach of a simply designed Roman wall lantern or go with an extravagantly designed Valencia wall lantern which harkens back to Old-World Spanish architecture. While these two styles are good choices for your landscape, they are just two of the options you will have to choose from when selecting the appropriate wall lantern for yuor outdoor space.
As with many things style-related, what works best in someone else’s patio space, may not work very well for your landscape. So the biggest consideration will be - “Does this style of outdoor lighting work with my landscape?”.
In the next few weeks we will begin to identify options for different outdoor wall lantern styles as well as creating what the experts consider a perfect “lightscape”.
