Create ideal outdoor spaces with the correct lights

As an extension of one’s indoor living, it only makes perfect sense to put the same careful thought in creating al fresco areas where the style and comfort of indoor spaces flow through.

For Jennifer Stelton Jose, president of Steltz, The Gallery, making the perfect outdoor setting can be as simple as knowing what lights to use and where to place them.

“Lights can create or enhance a mood while providing added security to your property. There are lights that can be used to illuminate pathways on the ground or high up in the form of lampposts; highlight beautiful landscapes; provide a welcoming glow to an entryway; or create drama to a building or home façade,” she said.

Because outdoor spaces are exposed to elements everyday, she said that homeowners should always factor in the brand and quality of lighting fixtures that will be used for this purpose. For one, asking about the IP rating of outdoor lighting products is the first step to making a sound decision.

“IP stands for Ingress Protection which classifies and rates the degree of protection provided against intrusion such as dust, accidental contact, and water by mechanical casings and electrical enclosures. The higher the IP rating, the better the protection a product has against rust, corrosion and even electrical malfunction. This is the reason why the brand and quality of the fixture is always paramount,” she pointed out.

Stetlz,  which carries a wide selection of unique and elegant lighting fixtures from high-end brands, has a complete line of outdoor lighting systems that not only illuminates outdoor spaces well after dark but also provides elegant accents to any home.
