Spice-up Your Nights with Patio Lights!

The patio is arguably one of the best places in the home where friends and loved ones can spend time together at night. It is a place where they can have dinner outdoors or simply hang out and enjoy each other's company. The experience can be enhanced further if the patio has some high-quality outdoor lights installed, the most common of which are floodlights and spotlights.

Floodlights are typically chosen by homeowners who want to illuminate a large area, and this is done by emitting a 120 degree beam of light over a wide space. They can be useful not only in lighting up the pathway leading to the patio, but also for providing some degree of security since would-be intruders would find it more difficult to navigate through the area. LED floodlights have the additional advantage of being more economical since they can last for about 50,000 hours or more before they need to be replaced.

On the other hand, spotlights are designed to illuminate only one particular area by focusing all the light into a narrow “spot”. The light they emit is much brighter and more useful in highlighting specific areas in the patio like furniture, sculptures, and other patio decorations. Many outdoor decoration/landscaping companies use permanently-fixed spotlights extensively to illuminate fountains and gardens at night.
