Garage and Outdoor Lighting Upgrades That Boost Security and Style

When having a renovation in your home, sometimes the garage and outdoor areas are being neglected. Without even knowing that you can transform these spots with the right lighting while maintaining its safety, functionality and stylish vibe.

Here at Axon Electrical, we have witnessed how lighting upgrades of a garage can boost curb appeal and improve the security at the same time. So, whether you want a fully lighted up driveway or just transform it to an entertaining space, check these lighting ideas that you should consider.

1. Secured & Convenient Motion-Sensor Lights

It is necessary to have motion sensor lights in your outdoor areas. Install it above the garage, the backyard entry or the side doors, as these will automatically activate when there is a detected movement. These activated lights are effective for unwelcoming intruders and also convenient for you as homeowners to light your way while arriving late at night.

Pro Tip: Select a motion sensor light that adjust to sensitivity to avoid unnecessary triggers from pets or any cars

2. Downlights for Garage Exteriors

Under the eaves of your garage, you can install recessed or surfaced-mounted downlights to add a sleek and modern vibe to your home. These will lighten up the area for parking and unloading aside from adding value to the architectural features of your home.

Bonus: Install it together with a smart switch to manage its use and for energy savings

3. Enhanced Pathway Lighting and Driveway

Not enough lighting in the driveway could be dangerous. Have low-voltage bollard lights or in-ground LED markers along your driveways and in the walkways to enhance safety while highlighting the front yard aesthetics.

You might want to consider solar-powered lantern-style lighting to create an ambient vibe.

4. Improve Entryways with Stylish Wall Lights 

Add charm and character to your garage or front door by installing wall mounted lanterns or coach lights. Match designs to the style of your home, whether matte black or coastal inspired white finishes. These designs are perfect for all the homes in Sunshine Coast.

5. Lighting in the Backyard 

If you want to create an inviting night-time in your backyard, like hosting barbeques and dinner get togethers, you can combine these lighting elements:

• Festoon or string lights - ideal for draping over pergolas or fences

• Deck lighting - perfect for steps and railing accents

• Spotlights - best to highlight garden features or trees

  
  

These combinations create layers of light that give a warm and inviting vibe aside from being also practical.

Why Choose an Expert Electrician?

It is important to hire a licensed electrician in dealing with your garage and outdoor lighting. Because it involves exposed wiring, requires proper weatherproofing, and may integrate with existing home automation systems. Having an expert electrician will ensure that your lighting is safely installed, functional and complies with the local standard.
