The dilemma with trends is that they come to pass. It is important to us at Moon Glow that we get behind a trend that will stand out and last beyond being a fad. Not to mention selecting based on quality. A few recent trends have lent nicely to the outdoor living movement, long term.
Bistro Lights
Also referred to as patio string lights, this style of lighting has seen a major upswing of usage. Complimented by LED filament lamps to give a classic feel, these stringers can accentuate any patio. A warm, welcome glow from overhead is inviting, not to mention its amazing appearance. The key elements for us is that they are properly installed, durable and have a consistent colour output. Lots of retailers offer this type of product, but we have discovered a few low-voltage options that will tie in nicely to your current system. A simple switch can be added to provide separate control.
Outdoor Chandeliers
Another hot item that has staying power, but no, we are not referring to the crystal chandelier. Three and five bulb fixtures are the most common choice with several tasteful and timeless styles existing. Now with LED bulbs that make the simple conversion from line voltage to low voltage, we have a large selection. A well-placed outdoor chandelier can set the mood just right or get everyone to the dinner table. A dimmer switch is the perfect complement for control.
BBQ lights
Not the first time we have brought this option up, but a definite patio essential! Mounting a switch controlled down-light to a structure and directing at the cooking area is one way to achieve functional BBQ light; another alternative and personal favourite is a table-mounted gooseneck design. This fixture includes a convenient switch at its base, and an adequate amount of light to get the steaks cooked to perfection.
