Looking to spend your days outside this summer? How about your nights? Enjoy outdoor living long after the sun goes down with lighting that adds both beauty and safety. From evening dinners to late night cocktails, the right outdoor lighting can provide sophistication and ambiance to set the mood.

Light the way to a better outdoor living space this season with the helpful tips from the experts at Trex:

Safety First – A well-lit outdoor living space is not only welcoming, but helps make guests feel more secure while walking. Brighten walkways with warm, focused lights like Trex LandscapeLighting Path Lights. For stairs, consider using riser lights to illuminate each step.

Added Ambiance – Don’t let harsh lighting spoil a nice summer night. Add soft lighting to specific areas on your deck or patio, such as a kitchen and seating and dining areas. Trex LandscapeLighting Spotlights use the latest LED technology to shine a beautifully bright light through a modest head. When not in use, they’re designed to practically disappear into their surroundings.

Customization – Outdoor lighting allows you to transform your deck into a customized creation. Highlight architectural features, gazebos, pergolas or trellises bringing together design and function. For a sophisticated look find lights that provide illumination for landscaping and small structures.
