I still remember the first time I tried to “upgrade” my backyard. I bought a random pack of cheap lights, hung them in a rush… and honestly?It looked worse than before. Too bright in some places, too dark in others, and zero vibe. That’s when I realized something important: 👉 Backyard lighting is not about
