Industville ’ s outdoor lighting designs are the perfect mix of classic and contemporary so they work well with both modern and traditional properties . All designs are compatible with LED bulbs , which are not only energy efficient but also have incredibly long lives , making them the perfect sustainable choice . The bulbs themselves are also available in a variety of shapes and colours , giving even more choice to achieve the perfect look desired . Bright white may be chosen for areas needing practical lighting , whereas a warmer vintage style amber bulb may be preferred to create a softer atmospheric glow .
After selecting the style or styles of light needed for a space , the next thing to consider carefully is their positioning . As Marketa Rypacek comments , " Think about the direction of each light to ensure you are not exposing something you ’ d rather not draw attention to or creating too much glare . Exterior lighting will accentuate the architecture , colours and textures of your property for a home you can be proud of . Make sure you experiment with different positions before you decide on a final placement . You can use a large torch in varying placements to see where it is likely to provide light . For glow without glare , opt for downward facing wallmounted lights that create a relaxing atmosphere that can be enjoyed by all ."
