Need to add a little light to your outdoor space? In this video, a Best Buy Home Expert will take you through several lighting options that can add ambiance and safety to your backyard entertaining. A good first step is to think about what you do in your outdoor space. Will you want lights that will set the vibe for a party or brighter lights that’ll be good for a board game night? Or do you need lighting you can adjust as your needs change? Outdoor string lights are a popular choice. They’re also called café lights or patio lights. Outdoor sets are generally shatterproof, so you they’ll stand up to accidental drops. You can wrap a pergola for a trendy look, or simply put posts in the ground or in pots around your space. Think about using a guide light to hang them too. It’ll take some of the weight off the light cord. Strip lights are a fun way to add color or accents to your space. Outdoor-rated light strips can be placed around the inner edges of planters and landscaping. They can also frame a doorway or line steps and railings for safety. Some strip lights are smart too, so you can change the colors and brightness with an app and even sync to music. Spotlights are a great way to highlight landscape features and create depth. Use them to draw attention to a water feature, a flower bed or the texture of a building. They can be used to light upward to create cool shadows or down to add light to a specific area. Many spotlights are smart too, so they can be customized to your favorite colors. Path lighting is an important safety feature, especially if you have a walkway or hill in your yard. They can be staked into the ground almost anywhere without wires. Many are solar powered, so they charge up during the day and shine bright starting at dusk. Just make sure they’re in a spot that gets six hours of sun a day. Layering lighting options can give your space a unique and stylish look. Our Home Expert has some suggestions on how to customize your lighting to your space and favorite activities. And don’t forget to think about how you’ll power these lights. We have battery, solar and electrical power sources. 0:00 Brighten up your space 1:08 String lights 2:32 Light strips 3:29 Spotlights 4:59 Path lights 6:04 Lighting your space 6:58 Powering your lights Shop outdoor living: https://bby.me/8bf1hu Shop outdoor lighting: https://bby.me/v2t4x1 Shop products from this video: Insignia™ - 24 Ft.
