(ARA) – Every year a wave of new products hits the shelves at lawn and garden stores, home improvement centers and online retailers. For 2008, a major trend is innovative outdoor lighting. Driving this trend toward creative outdoor lighting is the desire of homeowners to spend time outdoors and extend their outdoor time into the comfortable summer evening hours.
“With every deck I build I now factor in lighting solutions,” says Bob Lehman, owner of Creative Deck Designs in Maryland.
Outdoor lighting is a fast growing category, having come a long way from the motion-detector flood lights or “runway-style lights” that first hit the market in the 1980s.
Aurora Deck Lighting (www.auroradecklighting.com) is one the nation’s largest manufacturers of outdoor lighting solutions for safety, security, and ambiance. Their products range from solar powered path lights to energy efficient LEDs for fences and decks.
“Today people want to cook outside at night and entertain in a candle-lit sort of environment. Products on the market today make it possible to do both,” says Jay Savignac, senior vice president of Aurora Deck Lighting.
