You will need to take into consideration your current landscape design, the neighborhood in which you reside (do you wish to keep the same design as everyone else or do you want to make a statement) and any restrictions that you may have on changing the appearance of the exterior of your home before installing outdoor post lights.

Additionally, you may want to consider the following:

• The brightness of the light – is your new outdoor post light going to be used primarily for security or for beauty. If it is for security then generally it will be brighter. Those for decoration will be softer.

• Laws (if any) that seeks to specify the size and brightness of your light.

Outdoor post lights are widely available and can be purchased at home depots, hardware stores and electrical stores to name a few.

Remember if at any time you feel that this project is too big for you then seek professional help.

Also prices will vary as outdoor post lights can cost you as low as $60 or less to well in excess of $1,500 dollars for just one light. As you can see prices will vary and this is due to anyone oof the following:

• Type – example dark lights, flood lights and hanging lights to name a few.
• Style
• Finish – brass or gold trims etc
• Extras – for example ones that have motion sensors

So before you take the plunge and purchase your new outdoor post light, do some research/ to determine the type, style that suit the needs of your home and family.
