Outdoor Lighting Design & Fitting Suggestions

Exterior lighting has the power to both elevate your home as well as make you feel safe and secure. But it takes a lot of thought! See the list below for some of the things Autumn Morrison, residential lighting designer, will look after when helping you with your outdoor lighting.

Things to consider when choosing exterior lighting:

• Fit for purpose with proper ratings
• Match style to the architecture
• Fit the lights to the scale of the space
• Determine appropriate heights
• Pay attention to beam directions
• Adjust choices to reflect importance (front door vs side return)
• How it looks when not lit as well as lit
• Maintenance
• Social spaces lit up properly for relaxing entertainment
• Security areas requiring lights
• Gate lighting
• Driveway lighting
• Consider the exterior materials & surroundings
• Avoid glare and cheap materials
• Negate black-mirror effect
