Have you wondered how to care for your outdoor lighting? Outdoor lighting is a great way to improve your patio's ambiance, and local exterior lighting services can transform your outdoor living space, but only if you maintain your lights properly. Here are a few tips for maintaining your outdoor lighting after installation.

1. Inspect and Replace Your Bulbs Regularly

After your exterior lighting installation, you should regularly inspect your bulbs to maintain their lifespan. From our industry experience, we recommend setting up reminders to inspect your bulbs once or twice a month following installation. By setting a reminder, you will stay up to date with replacing your bulbs and maintaining your outdoor lighting. If you're unsure when to replace your bulbs, you can always reach out to our landscaping lighting experts!

2. Plan Your Holiday Lighting Wisely

Garcia's Outdoor Lighting offers local exterior lighting services and recommends using the correct amount of lighting for the size of your home. You can leave your holiday lights on overnight, but we propose using a timer. Don't get left behind during the holidays, according to Statista, as the outdoor lighting market is expected to grow to around $28.3 billion by 2030. We provide free estimates within a week to provide you with beautiful and safe lighting that lasts.

3. Extend the Life of Your Outdoor Lighting With Regular Cleaning

Skipping regular cleanings for your outdoor lighting can result in dust and dirt build up that can reduce the brightness of your bulbs. Further, dirt can block the ventilation within fixtures, causing your lights to overheat and become hazardous. Overheating will reduce the lifespan of your bulbs by forcing them to work overtime. Be sure to check your lighting before the end of each season before putting them away for the year. Our team is happy to clean and inspect your bulbs when necessary.
