For a long, long time, the inside of the home was the only
place you could let your creative flag fly, so to speak. Choosing the perfect
piece of furniture, hanging a gorgeous work of art, and picking just the right
paint colour to bring the whole room together was about the extent of your
choices when it came to making the look and feel of your home reflect your
personality and taste. There are obvious reasons for this, of course: you spend
far more time inside your home than outside looking at it, and inside you don’t
have to contend with elements like the weather. Outdoor light fixtures were
prone to damage by wind, snow or rain, and even if you were able to find the
perfect, sheltered spot for an exterior accent light, it would often not be
exactly where you would really like it. When you compare outdated incandescent
lights to their modern LED counterparts, there are many benefits of going with
the latter, but one word sums up why you should consider using outdoor LED
strip lights: waterproof. GTA homeowners have done away with the worry and
hassle of having their outside home lighting ruined by rain and snow by
replacing their old lights with LED fixtures that keep the weather out.
More Benefits, Fewer
Drawbacks
There are so many reasons to switch your outdoor accent
lighting to LEDs from older technologies. The fact that you can place them
anywhere and not worry about water damage is, of course, a huge one, but add to
that the reality that LED lights draw only a small fraction of the power of
incandescent bulbs, and that LED fixtures are known to last many times as long
before needing any maintenance or repair at all. That means you have lower
electrical bills, you’re doing your good work in being environmentally
conscious, and you have lower maintenance costs over the lifetime of your LED
accent lights by far.
Truly Personal
Another place where LED strip lighting outshines the
competition is in its ability to match your tastes and even passing mood. By
tying in to a phone or computer app, your lights can change as often as your
whims do. Maybe you prefer neutral, white lighting around your house for
security and simplicity, but you’re throwing a Halloween or St. Patrick’s Day
party tonight and you’d like a festive, matching atmosphere for your fellow
revelers. Not a problem at all! Just pick your colour (or colours) and watch as
your party space transforms before your eyes. Completely customizable, LED
light strips can always accommodate any of your décor needs.
There’s simply no two ways about it: smart homeowners have
started flocking to outdoor LED strip lights to waterproof GTA exterior spaces,
and they’ve got the best set of reasons imaginable for doing so. Save yourself
time, money, headaches and hassle, and do the same today!
