There are a lot of ways to express yourself these days: you can start a blog or a YouTube channel; maybe make a name for yourself on Twitter or Facebook; or take up painting or other art forms. Some people prefer to express themselves through the way they decorate their homes, inside and out. The artwork and accent pieces around your living space can say a lot about your personality and tastes, as can the colour you choose for your walls and the furniture you purchase, but so can the way you present the outside of your home to the world. One particularly effective, if often overlooked, way to express yourself through home décor is through exterior accent lighting. By taking advantage of all the benefits of outdoor LED strip lighting systems, GTA homeowners have a low-energy, maintenance-free, fully customizable way to show the world what they love and how they feel.
A Spectrum Of Possibilities
There was a time when exterior lighting was simply meant to be utilitarian. Lights outside the home were for illuminating doorways and driveways and making it easier for people to see the house numbers on the street-facing wall. This is because in those times the only really viable option for homeowners was to use traditional incandescent bulbs for their outdoor accent lights, and doing anything other than one-colour, limited-use applications with those was either costly or labour-intensive, or both. Today, though, LED lighting has changed everything. Drawing a small fraction of the power of traditional home light fixtures while lasting many times as long before needing to be replaced, LED light fixtures save loads of money in energy costs, all at the same time as cutting down on maintenance headaches by virtually never needing any attention at all. To add to that, you’re not even stuck with a single colour choice with your new home accent lights if you opt for LEDs. With the simple push of a button, any colour imaginable is at your disposal, so you can ensure that no matter what the occasion – or even just your mood at the time – your home reflects just the sentiment you want for it, whether it’s green for St. Patrick’s Day, red for Valentine’s Day, festive colours to contribute to your neighbourhood’s Christmas light presentations, or blue to support your favourite sports team – the possibilities are endless.
Gone are the days when you could do anything you wanted to express yourself through your home decoration except shining a literal light on your creative spirit through decorative accent lighting. With outdoor LED strip lighting systems, GTA homeowners are getting lower electrical bills, longer fixture life spans and a limitless way to unleash their creativity on the world. Now the outside of your home is just as valid a place for your self-expression as the knick-knacks and treasures you display on your shelves, the colour scheme of your paint choices, or the furniture you fill your rooms with
