Outdoor Lighting: Weatherproof Lamps and Chandeliers for Decks, Patios and Pools

Introduction

Today's outdoor rooms are looking more and more like their interior counterparts, with upholstered furniture, rugs, curtains, and even televisions designed to withstand the elements. As if that weren't enough, now you can pick from an attractive array of outdoor lighting fixtures designed to give your deck, patio or poolside a more domestic touch. We're not talking sconces or floodlights here, but stand-alone floor lamps, accent lamps and chandeliers that provide soft, close-in illumination--perfect for conversation or even reading. What's more, outdoor lighting can help define the parameters of your exterior space, creating a sense of walls and ceiling where none exists.
