Orbs and Spheres
LED orbs and spheres are another great way to give your lawn a modern yet ethereal feel. Orbs are more commonly hung up individually throughout backyards. However, some homeowners choose to cluster them together which builds a mystical vibe.
This is definitely more of an artistic statement than other LED lighting options. If done correctly, it can wow visitors. More importantly, it’s a great option if you’re looking to light up a large yard.
Pendant Lights
Pendant lights provide a more traditional feel. Typically, pendant lights are recommended for those who have a dedicated dining space or a covered patio area in their backyard. These lights can be used to light up the table and set a comfortable tone for dinner and some drinks.
Depending on the type of light you get, pendant lights may only light up a specific part of your yard. They are commonly paired with other types of LED lights that cover the remainder of the yard.
