Outdoor LED strip Christmas lighting not only gives your home a luxurious look and highlights architectural elements, but is also a practical way to keep you and your family safe from possible injuries and threats. Most of these lighting systems come equipped with features that allow you to swap out Christmas themed colours for something more neutral to be used every day of the year. Now your outdoor Christmas lights not only add festive flare but can offer a permanent source of lighting for safety purposes. Whether it’s your front gate or your backyard garden, there are a number of places that can benefit from permanent outdoor Christmas strip lighting.
Keep Your Home Secure
Even if you live in a safe residential area, give yourself and your family peace of mind knowing your home’s entryways and nooks are well-lit to ward off potential break-and-entries. Consider positioning strip light fixtures near your front and back entrances, dark unlit corners and where your security cameras may be positioned. High-quality LED strip lights will remain bright in any weather condition or climate thanks to their resilient construction. Going away for a few days but leaving the home unattended? Keep potential burglars at bay by keeping key areas of your home lit even while you sit on the beach enjoying your cocktails. LED strip lights are also very energy efficient and require minimal voltage, so you won’t need to worry about racking up a crazy expensive hydro bill.
Illuminate Potential Tripping Hazards
As the sun sets sooner and sooner into the fall and winter months, you may find yourself coming home to a pitch black driveway often. Coupled with icy conditions, it is easy to miscalculate and slip on your way up to your front door. Adding LED strip lights and fixtures to illuminate walkways in both your front and backyard will help you spot potential hazards before any real damage is done. Keeping your stairways well-lit during Christmas party time will also prevent unexpected injuries for your family and visitors. If your home has decorative features like gardens, fountains and other elements difficult to see during the night, consider using LED strip accent lights to not only prevent walking into these hazards, but also enjoy their beauty even after the sun has set.
Make Your Home Easy to Spot From Afar
If you frequently host visitors or out-of-town relatives for the Christmas holidays who may not be familiar with your neighbourhood, make it super easy for them to find your home by displaying distinctive colours outside your home. One of the key features of permanent Christmas LED strip lighting is that they can be programmed with a variety of colours and lighting sequences.

This is also helpful for homes that have long driveways or are tucked away behind thick greenery. These LED accent lights are not only practical, but can be used to give your next celebration a colourful ambiance. The next time you send out your party invitation, just let your guests know if they see red lights they are in the right place.
