You have choices in exterior home lighting. Some people prefer quaint-looking lantern-style lights or eclectic retro designs, while others revel in the new technology available for outfitting the outside of your home. Find out how Trimlight works here.


Let's talk a little bit about that and compare some of the features of different types of lighting, for instance, small modern LED lights as opposed to large antique-looking glass bulbs that appeal to the steampunk aesthetic. Sure, those big monster bulbs look cool, although there may be issues associated with maintenance. But the modern lighting has come a long way in just a few years!


Inconspicuous Lighting


One of the benefits of the modern LED lights are that they blend into the roof line and can be designed to be entirely inconspicuous by day. Hidden wiring and other engineering allows you to have the lighting that you need, without muddying up your architectural aesthetic in the light hours.


You can't really say that about the bigger vintage lighting, and although users may be able to string them and style them in a way that complements a property, you don't get the same blending-in. Given how popular the cable-free, tidy look is for the inside of the home, you can bet that many property owners will be wanting this for their exteriors, as well.

Weatherproof Lighting


New lighting systems can block UV rays, secure lighting against wind, and provide waterproof systems to help lighting stand up to the elements. Get a FREE QUOTE here.


The old-style lights usually don't have any of this, and so they have to be placed in ways that will protect them, such as being hung under eaves and awnings. Even with the best placement, breakage can occur. That’s one more thing to think about when outfitting your property, especially in places where big storms are a common happening.


Energy Efficiency


Of course the modern LED lights are more energy efficient. You can get some amount of energy savings with newer incandescent bulbs, but that's nothing compared to the power of small programmable LED lights that can be strung all over the building with a very minimal carbon footprint. See how Trimlight works here.


Programmable Lighting


Another feature that people love about the new LED lighting installations is their versatility. You can program in any number of vibrant colors for different holidays and days of the year. There's just a lot of potential here! Get a FREE QUOTE here.
