An outdoor space — whether a yard, patio or deck — is high on many homeowners’ entertaining wish lists. Whether you like to have a crowd over for cocktails, a few friends for dinner or a small gathering for drinks around a fire pit, the right lighting helps extend outdoor enjoyment after sundown.
Solar-powered, battery-powered, or wired lighting, and even candlelight, can all work nicely. Choose warm white LEDs (2500 Kelvin to 3000 Kelvin) for a cozy feel, and be sure the fixtures are rated for outdoor use. It’s also worth choosing lights that are easy to switch off once the party is over, to help protect wildlife at night.
