As the leaves change and daylight shrinks, autumn is the sweet spot between extreme summer heat and winter freezes to get your outdoor lighting ship-shape!

Here are 4 quick tasks to tackle before the first frost:

1️⃣ Wash Fixtures: Wipe down dusty glass panels with warm, soapy water to restore maximum brightness (just be sure to cut the power first!).

2️⃣ Adjust & Re-aim: Check ground spotlights that may have been bumped by lawn mowers, adjust timers for earlier sunsets, and re-aim beams to highlight bare autumn branches.

3️⃣ Tidy Up: Sweep away fallen leaves surrounding path lights, trim overgrown shrubs, and rebury any exposed landscape cables.

4️⃣ Supplement for Safety: Walk your driveway and entry steps to spot dark zones so trick-or-treaters and holiday guests have a brightly lit path.

Routine upkeep takes just a few minutes and keeps your curb appeal shining bright all season long! 🍂🏡
