When it comes to planning your lighting layout, the first thing you need to do is measure the outdoor space you will be illuminating and make sure that you have enough lights to cover your layout. Check that you have the necessary tools to secure your lights, like hooks or nails, and that you know where the outdoor power outlets are located to connect and turn on your lights.
