There have been countless of times that I accidentally trip on a rock or something whenever I check on our vegetable garden in the backyard at night.  We find it dangerous that we don't even let our parents, nephews and nieces step a foot in the backyard without us to guide them at night. Even though we already have the outdoor lamps installed it is still dangerous to go out without bringing a flash light or an emergency light. The light coming from the outdoor lamps only covers a portion of our backyard. It does not reach where the vegetable garden is. However, since we had the outdoor path lighting installed just recently, our backyard does not only look secure, it also looks beautiful. It has been a great place to go camping especially when the night sky is bright with stars and moon so whenever it is possible my nieces and nephews would spending the night camping in the backyard. We would also have our meals there whenever it is possible.

Landscape lights and other lighting fixtures makes a huge impact to our residential and commercial spaces. Without these lighting fixtures that serve as our guide at night, we won't be able to accomplish anything unless we have eyes like a cat. But the most important thing of all these lights give us security and comfort at night.

My Cousin's Birthday Celebration


Moving around in the dark is never a good idea. A lot of bad things can happen. There is a huge possibility of bumping into something or tripping over and hurting yourself. But, I took that risk last Saturday evening when I attended my young cousin’s 2nd birthday celebration in the orphanage which is run by the two good priests whom my aunt who is a nurse met during their medical mission four years ago.


During the birthday celebration, my three nieces and I decided to look around the orphanage’s garden. The young boys and girls who found a home in the orphanage are the ones who take care of the garden according to my Aunt. Auntie also said that they have a huge collection of flowering plants and other decorative plants in the garden which I must see. Unluckily, while we were on our way to the garden, an unexpected power outage occurred. The sudden power interruption scared my young nieces so we all head back to the group who were also in chaos. The party which is supposed to last until nine in the evening was cut short. But while everyone is busy packing and cleaning, armed with nothing but my phone’s flashlight I searched for the garden together with one of the caretakers. I just have to see those plants. But before we reached the place I tripped on a stone. Luckily, the caretaker caught me before I fell to my demise and advised me to see the garden in the morning instead. Unhappily, I agreed. Everyone was ready to leave when we returned. That was when the power came back to my vexation.


I may not have seen the garden which they so proudly boast about that night but I was able to see the lovely landscape of the business establishment which is a few meters away from the orphanage. The landscape is highlighted by several powder coated cast aluminum bollard with clear tempered glass which we saw earlier that day. In my opinion, the landscape looks more enchanting in the evening rather than in daylight because of the bollard lights.There are probably a lot of mishaps that night, but the lovely sight of the artfully designed landscape just made that night a wonderful.

Environment Friendly Lighting Fixtures

http://www.fabby.com/

All types of lighting fixtures has been designed and manufactured over the years to aid us in our day to day life. Just like other products such as our clothes, shoes, and gadgets, they are assessed depending on their sizes, designs, materials used, and their necessity. We also buy them depending on our needs and budget. But there are also times that we buy a lighting fixture regardless if it is expensive or not because we just simply need them. 


However, we need to be wise in buying these kinds of products. We need to check first how long these lighting fixtures are going to last? We also need to check the brightness or the lumen of these lighting fixtures as well as the wattage because these factors will surely affect our budget. We should also think how these lighting fixtures affect our environment. It is known that these past few years, we have been suffering from global warming. So our government has highly recommended that we should use energy saving lamps such as LED (Light-emitting diode) and CFL (Compact fluorescent lamp) instead of incandescent lamps and some fluorescent lamps which were banned because they were proven because they were proven to be hazardous to our health and our environment.

Companies and manufacturers who have a high regard for our environment are greatly admired. We should also buy from these companies and manufacturers especially those who are promoting energy saving lighting fixtures such commercial sign lights, garden lights, barn lights and home lights in order to help our environment as well. Moreover, we should also be careful in disposing lighting fixtures which no longer works to prevent accidents and problems to our health and nature. We must bear in mind that whatever happens to our environment will greatly affect as all.
