As the sunsets get earlier, and those porch lights come on sooner, fall is the perfect time to check in on your outdoor lighting.  Because lighting is such an easy way to upgrade both the look and the feel of your exterior.  And it doesn’t have to cost an arm and a leg!

 

Here are three easy & affordable ways to give your exterior a literal glow-up:

If you can remove and replace your bulb, that’s the first place to start!  A pretty fixture that shows off the bulbs should have a pretty bulb, too.

No plug?  No problem!  The key with Solar lighting is to pay attention to the lumens output.  I like no less than 10 lumens, but 100 is even better, or it just doesn’t put out enough light. And I’ve used these solar landscape lights in FL and ID - they make a great emergency light inside, too.

No matter if it’s gameday, a holiday or just a random Friday, I love mixing it up with colored lighting.

The quickest way to update your exterior lighting is totally free!  Simply remove and wipe down the bulbs themselves with a damp rag. Then make sure the fixture is spic and span to bring the original brightness back to your outdoor lighting.
