Do You Need a Lighting Plan Before Installing Outdoor Lights?

Key takeaways

  • A plan shows what each fixture does
  • You can compare simple and full designs
  • Changes are easy on paper and hard after install
  • The Fixture Planner counts fixtures for your layout

Lighting is easier to change on paper than after it is installed.

What a plan shows

A plan shows where every fixture goes, what it lights and how bright it is.

Compare options

You can look at a simple version and a fuller one side by side.

Avoid regret

Moving a fixture on a plan is simple. Moving it later costs time and money. Start with the Fixture Planner on this site to count what your layout needs.
