Outdoor lighting isn’t just a finishing touch anymore – it’s an essential design element that completely transforms how your home, yard, or patio feels and functions at night. Across suburban areas like Winnetka, Barrington, Lake Zurich, and Northbrook, more and more homeowners are upgrading their exteriors with smart, functional, and stylish lighting solutions.
At JackStone, we know that lighting does more than just illuminate – it adds dimension, improves security, and enhances curb appeal while making your property feel warm and welcoming.
Top outdoor lighting solutions worth considering:
✅ 1. LED Lighting – Modern, Efficient, Versatile
LEDs are a must-have. They’re energy-efficient, long-lasting, and perfect for everything from uplighting your home’s façade to pathway illumination or driveway accents.
✅ 2. Solar Lights – Eco-Friendly and Cordless
Solar fixtures are ideal for garden beds, walkways, and decks. No wiring needed – just clean energy and ambient glow.
✅ 3. Wall Sconces & Floodlights – Style + Security
Mounted lighting fixtures add both safety and sophistication. Highlight textures, angles, and architectural details with directional lights placed around the house.
✅ 4. Smart Lighting Systems – Full Control, Anytime
With smart lighting, you can set scenes, dim lights, and manage schedules right from your phone. Some systems even adjust automatically based on sunset or weather.
✅ 5. Motion & Dusk Sensors – Light Only When Needed
Sensor-based lighting improves convenience and deters intruders while reducing energy use. Perfect for driveways, entryways, and side yards.
