Outdoor Lighting Trends to Know

One of the best ways to add curb appeal or ambiance to your home is via outdoor lighting. Landscape lighting can not only help property value, but it also improves the usability of your outdoor space after dark.

These days, the outdoor lighting options are plentiful. From new technologies to modern capabilities to designer styles, read on for the outdoor lighting trends you’ll want to know before you shop:

Umbrella lights that attach to the mast or umbrella pole are a seamless and space-saving way to provide illumination and ambiance after dark. Umbrella lights are also often adjustable to fit in 1.5 to 2-inch umbrella poles.

Some high-tech outdoor lights are more than just light. Treasure Garden’s Evo Dual Light Sound Pod, for instance, functions as both an umbrella light and a table light, with the added feature of built-in surround-sound Bluetooth speakers. An integrated umbrella light clamps onto umbrella poles of canopies for convenient sound and light. It can also function as a freestanding table light with an integrated and adjustable bass speaker. The LED lighting is adjustable, allowing you to set the perfect mood, while a USB port offers a convenient way to charge devices.

Remote controls allow lighting to be turned on and of easily from afar—and often have the capability to adjust lighting brightness for the optimal ambiance. Many outdoor lighting from leading brands such as POVL Outdoor and Gloster come with remotes.

A gas torch or lantern—such as our best-selling Tempest Torch and Tempest Lantern from Travis Industries—instantly upgrades a space, adding classic charm with modern functionality. The Outdoor Plus also produces gas-powered torches in a variety of handmade styles.

Solar-powered lights are a great choice for outdoor spaces because they don’t require wiring, so there’s no need to worry about having an outlet nearby or having a potential tripping hazard on your hands. From portable lanterns to floor lamps to landscaping lights, there’s no shortage of solar-powered outdoor lighting options.

In-ground lights are a great way to illuminate gardens, walkways, driveways, steps, or front yards at night. Eurofase’s LED in-ground lights are made from sturdy, corrosion-resistant die-cast aluminum with a powder-coated finish, ensuring they’ll last in just about any outdoor environment.

Stylish chandeliers and pendant lights aren’t just for the indoors anymore. Industry-trusted brands such as Eurofase, Gloster, and Talenti offer high-quality, fashion-forward pendant lighting designed to stand up to the outdoors and last throughout the seasons.

Gone are the days where one style of outdoor sconce reigns supreme. Forward-thinking brands like Eurofase now offer design-forward outdoor sconces that bring a sense of style outdoors.
