Warm Florida evenings call for night swimming and lounging by the pool. In addition to creating a relaxing ambiance, installing string lights enhances the pool patio’s safety by making it easier to see any hazards around the pool edge. Oftentimes, people want to hang string lights around or across their pool. However, it is critical that you understand the local building codes and safety regulations. Any lights around a pool area must be low voltage according to Florida Building and Electrical Code. For your safety and peace of mind, it is always best to have a licensed professional install your outdoor lighting!
Outdoor string lights are a great way to define any outdoor entertainment area. When hung over a patio dining area or lounging space, quality string lighting makes it easy for family and friends to socialize after the sun goes down.
For many homes, a backyard fence is necessary for privacy and safety. They also play a big role in the backdrop of any outdoor area. Adding string lights around the perimeter of your fence is an innovative way to brighten up your entire backyard space. Furthermore, fence lights can also enhance the safety of your property by lighting up the whole perimeter.
For those who live on the water, there is nothing better than using your dock to enjoy the beautiful views. Draping string lights around your dock fixtures will offer a soft glow for late-night lounging and entertainment and illuminate the harshness of direct overhead lighting.
Professionally installed outdoor string lighting will not only enhance the beauty of your natural surroundings and create the perfect backyard ambiance, but also enhance the safety and value of your home overall. While there are do-it-yourself options, with a lighting expert on your side, you can avoid the many potential downfalls of DIY lighting and not have to worry about the various complications of wiring and installation.
