When you think about ways to express yourself through the
décor of your home, you’re probably thinking about selecting paint swatches
from your local home renovation store, choosing works of art or treasured
knick-knacks you could display proudly on shelves and mantles, or which bits of
older furniture you’d really like to replace with stylish, modern pieces you’ve
had your eye on for a while now. But what if you were to discover that there
was a way to show your creativity and style to the world on the outside of your
home as well? Most people don’t think about exterior accent lighting as a
creative outlet because they’re still thinking in terms of out-dated,
old-fashioned incandescent bulbs and 20th century outdoor light
fixtures. But when you really start looking around for ways to have the outside
of your home reflect your tastes, you can’t do much better than outdoor LED
strip lighting systems. Toronto homeowners who have done their homework have
learned how to save time, money and all sorts of headaches by changing their
outdoor accent lights from incandescents to LEDs.
Longer Life, Lower
Costs
Old-school light bulbs are known to need seemingly constant
replacement, because they ‘burn out’. Well that’s not just a figure of speech.
Most of the energy consumed by incandescent lights is wasted producing heat,
and that heat eventually (sooner rather than later, often) destroys the very
thing that gives off light, forcing you to replace bulb after bulb as they all
blink out for the last time. This also wastes a lot of energy, which in turn
wasted you as a homeowner a lot of money as your monthly power bills arrive in
your mailbox. Modern LED light fixtures solve both of those problems. By not
emitting much heat at all, they are incredibly efficient at turning power into
light, and because they’re not constantly producing the cause of their own
demise, they last much, much longer than their older counterparts. This saves
you money in two ways: not having to constantly replace burnt out bulbs, and
not sucking up all that extra energy each month.
All The Choices In
The World
Another benefit to lighting the outside of your home with
LED light strips is that you’ll never have to scratch your head wondering what
colour you want to put in which place around your property, because once you’ve
installed your permanent outdoor light fixtures, they can be changed with the
simple push of a button. Customizable LED lights can be programmed in advance
to provide a limitless variety of colours and tones, and you’re never locked in
to just one choice. Change your mind about what colours you want at your
backyard barbecue? No problem! Load up the app on your phone and change your
outdoor LEDs to match your mood at the time! It just couldn’t be simpler to use
programmable LEDs to match your home’s ambience to your mood, no matter what it
is.
There’s just no two ways about it: if you’re looking to
express yourself through the lighting surrounding your home, look no further
than outdoor LED strip lighting systems. Toronto residents who have gone in
that direction have saved time, hassle and money, all while showing the world
their creative flair.
