The initial importance of outdoor lighting in general is for safety and security. This covers a wide range of essentials, from illuminating your pathways and stairs to lighting the darkest areas of your property. Another important factor to consider is being inside and ensuring you can see your property well enough to view incoming visitors, either welcomed or not. A well-lighted house is a more secure house.
"One of the primary roles of landscape lighting is to illuminate pathways and steps to ensure safety of those walking to and around the property. Burglars prefer operating out of view, in the dark and when no one is home. When points of entrance are illuminated and a home appears occupied, an invader is less inclined to attempt a break in. What burglar wants his actions in full view of residents, neighbors and passers-by? Fixtures that are triggered by motion are an effective tool for protecting your home from unwanted invaders."
