String lights popular choice for backyards

  • 6 years ago
String lights have become one of the hottest outdoor lighting trends for the home. When installing string lights, properly space between lights, cover the entire area and don’t leave noticeable gaps at the starting or end points. Choose a bulb that has warmth. A Kelvin range between 2,700 and 3,000 is ideal. Pay attention to the style of bulb. Stay away from anything that’s too small and Christmas-looking. In addition to string lights, ground lighting can be used to highlight a bush or tree. Use lights that easily tilt so you can experiment with the right angle to emphasize an object, plant or tree. Embedding lights into the landscape is an aesthetic and budget-saving move, as embedded lights don’t run the risk of getting kicked over or damaged.
