Lighting for an Outdoor Lawn Patio

Enjoy outdoor living space at night with patio lights.

Don't keep the party contained inside after dark. Migrating to the patio or lawn area is possible with outdoor patio lighting. Mix and match lighting options for a dramatic effect, perfect for warm evening gatherings with friends and family.

Patio Lanterns

Patio lanterns are inviting lanterns that dangle above a patio or deck. These lanterns can be hung across trees or buildings, making them easy to install anywhere. Perfect for parties, patio lanterns come in various shapes, colors and themes.

Solar lights

Solar lights are perfect for illuminating the ground level around a patio. These lights store free sun energy during the day and softly light the night without the need for electricity. Staked in the ground or hung on hooks, solar lights are available in styles to suit any landscape design.

Spotlights

Spot lights offer bright, focused lighting.

Spotlights offer intense, focused light that is perfect for highlighting landscape features such as trees or fountains. Many styles of spotlights are available including wall-mounted spotlights, ground spotlights and motioned-sensitive spotlights.

Tiki Torches

Tiki torches are a fun addition to evening patio parties. A tiki torch lets off a warm, natural glow. They are easy to install and offer the bonus of keeping bugs at bay. Although these are a delightful way to light a patio, they do require safety precautions when using because of the open flame and oil used to keep the flame burning.
