Several years ago, the only type of outdoor post lights were public streetlights. Now, however, homeowners are using outdoor post lighting for different areas of their homes.
Outdoor post lights, a type of pole lighting, are excellent for bright illumination because they provide a type of downlighting, meaning that the light comes from above and is cast downward. Just as streetlights cast light on the road, home outdoor pole lighting is used to cast light on driveways, home entrances, and landscaping.
When it comes to driveways, it is best to select outdoor post lights that are taller than the ones used for decorative landscaping. The taller the outdoor pole lights, the more the light to be cast down to the ground is able to spread out. This makes the area more illuminated. Matching fixtures of outdoor post lights are often used on both sides of the driveway to give the vehicle entrance a uniform look.
Entrances to a home, whether it's the front, side, or back door, need to be well lit. Outdoor post lights are a great option, especially when you do not want to create a hole in the side of your house to install a permanent fixture, or if there is no room on the wall for installation.
Landscaping areas look great when outdoor post lighting is used to illuminate the area. Many decorative styles are available that provide daytime decoration as well as nighttime light.
