A well-lit yard serves several purposes.

Not only does it reinforce your security system by deterring would-be burglars, it also extends your time outdoors in the evenings.

Outdoor lighting lets you see that an area is safe when you get home, and allows you to scan the property to see if anything or anyone is around. In addition to your safety, you may enjoy your outdoor living spaces. Outdoor living spaces include patios, decks, pools, water features, fireplaces, gazebos and hot tubs. Whether you're relaxing quietly or entertaining, outdoor lighting may be the perfect solution.

Jackson EMC offers several lighting packages to fit your needs. Added security, extended outdoor living time or even curb appeal is only a phone call away. Packages start as low as $9.50 per month. A basic package includes:

• Maintenance
• Lamp replacement
• Electric usage
• Open-bottom lamp (monthly usage)

Contact your district office for more information on how outdoor lighting can help meet your home security needs.
