There are many options when it comes to lighting the exterior of your home, but one of the most versatile options is using LED soffit mounted pot lights like Gemstone Lights. Not only are soffit pot lights a functional light source for your home, they’re also a great way to add curb appeal.
Curb Appeal 101
What is curb appeal? Well, basically, curb appeal is the term real estate agents use to describe the attractiveness of the exterior of your home. The old adage of not judging a book by its cover doesn’t seem to apply to houses, as studies have shown that houses with high curb appeal (or ones that are attractive on the outside) sell for more money and sell more quickly than homes that lack curb appeal. Now, curb appeal isn’t just about the lighting, but the lighting you choose can make a big difference. That’s because the lighting you choose can highlight, emphasize, or even help enhance architectural features. If your house has stonework or masonry details that are cool or unique, you can show them off with your LED lighting.
Visibility is Key
Nobody likes coming home to a dark house – with app-controlled LED soffit pot lights, you’ll never come home to darkness again. You can set daily timers so you never have to remember to turn the lights on (or off) but you can also flip the lights on with a press of a button in the Gemstone Lights Hub App.
Have you ever been invited to a friend’s house for the first time only to spend far too long driving up and down the street trying to find house numbers? With LED soffit pot lights, you can take the guesswork out of having people visit your house – your house numbers will be illuminated with just the right amount of light. Delivery drivers will thank you as well!Security
When we said that nobody likes coming home to a dark house, that wasn’t exactly true – there’s one subset of people who love dark houses: would-be thieves. One of the best things you can do to increase the security of your home is to light it up at night. Which makes a lot of sense…it’s preferable to skulk around in darkness when you’re breaking the law.
Make it Interesting
Not only do soffit pot lights add a lot of visual interest by shining down from the highest part of the wall, drawing the eyes downwards and making the house seem bigger, but with Gemstone Lights you can change up the lighting and the colours as often as the mood strikes you! There are dozens of pre-set patterns and colours in the app and you can customize your own as well – the only limit is your imagination.
