Energy-Saving Ways to Get Decked Out This Summer
With the first day of summer just around the corner, deck season is in full swing. It’s the perfect spot for dining alfresco, unwinding with a great read or entertaining family and friends. Just because the sun’s gone down doesn’t mean the good times have to end. With the latest energy-saving lighting solutions, you can enjoy your deck or patio well into the evening hours while conserving energy:
- Low-Voltage Deck Lights – These easy-to-install energy super-savers reduce electricity output with a special transformer and cable. Plus, they’re available in nearly every application – from rail to wall-mount lights.
- LED Deck Lights – Energy savings to the max! LED deck lights provide the greatest energy savings and the longest lifespan. LEDs have evolved rapidly and now are available as rail, recessed step and post cap lights and more.
- Solar Deck Lights - Solar may seem like the ideal option for saving green. Unfortunately, in the Mid-Atlantic region, there’s not enough intense sunlight to power them to full capacity. That’s why we don’t carry them at Yale. If you do opt to use them, be sure place them in direct sunlight away from shade trees.
- Party Lights – Create a sparkling ambience for your deck party with energy-efficient LED party lights. Highlight a favorite centerpiece or the roofline of your gazebo with flexible tube LEDs. Summer comes and goes so fast. Why not enjoy every carefree minute of it? With these deck and patio lighting options, you can enjoy summertime illumination and the peace of mind that comes from using good-for-the-earth-and-your-budget lighting products.
