D E S I G N + B U I L D 1. Leverage your lighting for security and visibility Well-planned outdoor lighting accomplishes two things. First, it safely and comfortably extends your usable living space. Second, it deters intruders from prowling your property. To pull oͿ this double duty, pay special attention to ensuring all pathways, social spaces and entrances are illuminated. 2. Ensure everything is outdoor-rated 2nly use bulbs, fi[tures, cords and outlets specifically rated for outdoor use. &hoosing correctly rated equipment lets you enhance the appeal of your property, highlighting architectural features and landscaping focal points, without risking failure, fire or other calamities. 3. Avoid risky placement 8nless specifically designed for it, outdoor lights shouldn’t be directly on grass. Prone to being either wet or tinder dry, adding electricity to grass just isn’t a smart move. Also, if your wiring will be buried, make sure it isn’t under anything highly Áammable, such as mulch or woodchips. $n e[perienced electrician can help you find safe and attractive solutions, such as installing directly on concrete or in gravel beds. 4. Respect the maximum wattage 6crewing a 100-watt bulb into a fi[ture with a 75-watt maximum will, at best, waste your money on bulb replacements. You’re also likely to cause permanent damage to the fi[ture itself. To steer clear of these issues, always choose a bulb where the wattage is equal to or less than the fi[ture·s maximum.
