The first thing you need to consider when developing an outdoor lighting scheme is safety. The pathways and the doorways need to be properly illuminated in order to prevent any unexpected stumbles. Properly lit entrance ways including any back alleys that might border your property also increase your level of personal safety. A good rule of thumb is to have at least 60-80 watts of light at every outside door, set of outside steps, or any other place that you might want to go to at night ie alleys or garbage bin areas.

Another great idea for your outdoor space is portable lamps. These allow you to take the light wherever you need it and there are several attractive varieties on the market. These look great sitting on your patio table, beaming light around your group. Again, choose lamps that are safe to use outdoors.
