Outdoor LED Lighting

Outdoor Electrical Lighting by Custom Electrical Services in Des Moines, Iowa

Summer has settled in Iowa, and it’s time for barbecue. Getting friends and family together for a backyard party is a relaxing way to spend the season, but why have your party stop when it gets dark? Outdoor LED lighting is a great way to keep the fun going into the night, and allows for a more dynamic home exterior. LED lights use 90% less power than incandescent bulbs and last much longer. Why should the fun stop simply because the sun is down? Our professional electricians have some safe LED lighting options (and other essential outdoor lighting ideas) to ensure your summer nights are just as festive as your days.

LED Path Lighting

  • LED path lighting adds a safety component as it highlights your sidewalks and home exterior.
  • It shines a light on your landscape as well; highlighting shrubs, bushes, and gardens.
  • Path lights make your home more vibrant, adding a warm glow to pathways and other areas that can get lost at night.
  • A set that expertly accents your home brings out the beauty, and can keep the party going well after dark.

Outdoor LED String Lights

  • Align your backyard or patio with string lights, illuminating the outdoors for your after-work relaxing.
  • Give your home that warm summer feeling with string lights circled around the patio table.
  • The simple design allows you to easily move them around; creating a variety of different mood and lighting options.
  • String lights come in an array of LED bulb designs and colors. They allow you to light up any occasion with themed lighting to accentuate an idea or theme.
  • LED lights are also cool to the touch, so burning yourself on a hot light will never happen again.

Tiki Torches

  • An exotic way to give a summer vibe to your home, tiki torches are inexpensive and easy to use. They also won’t drive up the energy bill.
  • With their portable design, you can place them anywhere safe and desirable.

 Fire Pits

  • A good fire pit location is in the center of a yard, away from tree, bushes and other objects that might catch fire.
  • Fire pits come in a range of sizes and price points; offering an array of options for a cost-effective flame.
  • Fire pits are also a nice solution for intimate lighting. They are great for parties, small family gatherings or romantic evenings.
