Outdoor Landscape Lighting Spring Maintenance

Much to the relief of many, it would seem as though Spring is almost here. Although, we have been seeing reports of a possible Nor'Easter for April Fool's Day, maybe we shouldn't hold our breath just yet. It certainly has been an intense winter.

But even if it is not in the near future, Spring will soon arrive. Once it does, we will be spending more time outside getting our yards and home looking their best. This also includes starting to use your outdoor landscape lighting.

But before you turn on your outdoor landscape lighting for the first time this year, make sure you take a few seconds to do some maintenance. Walk around your whole lighting system and remove any winter debris. Check to make sure that there are no broken fixtures or bulbs. Make sure all of the wiring is safely contained and not damaged. Once you've doubled checked everything, then turn on your system for the first time this year.

By taking a few extra minutes to look over your outdoor landscape lighting, you will be able to spot any repairs you will need to make, and you may prevent any type of electrical short that may be the result of damaged wiring or fixtures.

Swing Arm Lamps for Video Game Rooms

You've just been summoned by your superior commander to report to your base of operations. You stand nervously, watching the rest of your company fall into line. Everyone wears a look of confusion. You are greeted by your commanding officer and told that you will be on the first wave of a counter strike to help defend Earth from a race of hostile aliens. You pick up your weapon an prepare for battle.

Sound like a typical Friday night with all of your best friends? Everyone gathered together playing intense video games while trying to save the world? It is truly amazing how technology has allowed for such immersive and multi-player gaming experiences.

But when it comes to video games, a lot of people need to have the setting just right. If they aren't sitting in a suitable position, don't have the right controller, or don't have the proper lighting conditions, they can quickly lose interest in the game.

That is why if you have your own video game den, you should consider a lighting source that is adjustable. If you can control the angle of the light, or how much light is being given off, then people may have a more enjoyable time. Take a swing arm lamp for instance. A lot of the swing arm lamps you can find at LightingConcepts.com give you a large range of flexibility when it comes to determining where in the room you'd like the light source to be coming from. This can be very beneficial so that you can create the perfect lighting solution for any gamer who utilizes your space.
