LED Outdoor Lights
Gone are the days of constantly changing outdoor wall light bulbs. Today, you can light up your outdoor spaces with energy-efficient LED outdoor lights.
LED outdoor lights offer:
- High energy savings: Save up to 90% compared to traditional bulbs of the same brightness.
- Longer lifespan: Lasts up to 50,000 hours with no maintenance required.
- Immediate brightness: Full brightness right away, ideal for motion detectors and security.
- High switching resilience: Can handle frequent on/off cycles, making them perfect for passageways.
Which protection class do my LED outdoor lights require?
LED outdoor lights are built to withstand various challenges, from harsh weather to pests. Different lights need specific IP (Ingress Protection) ratings to determine their durability.
For example, IP44 is commonly used for wall lights and offers protection from splashing water, while pond lights require an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance. To find the appropriate IP rating for your light, refer to the product details.
Here's a breakdown of IP ratings:
Solid particle protection:
- IP0 to IP6: Ranges from no protection to dust-tight protection.
Liquid ingress protection:
- IP0 to IP8: Protection ranges from no protection to protection against continuous immersion.
How many watts does my LED outdoor light require?
The brightness of LED outdoor lights is measured in lumens, not watts. Modern LED lighting is energy-efficient and provides more light with less power.
For practical outdoor lighting like wall, path, or ceiling lights, a range of 500-1,000 lumens is recommended, usually requiring 7-15 watts of energy. For comparison, traditional bulbs would require 40-75 watts for similar brightness.
LED decorative lights tend to use much less energy, emitting around 10-20 lumens and often powered by solar energy, making them highly cost-efficient.
What types of LED outdoor lights are there?
You have many options when it comes to LED outdoor lights, available in various shapes, designs, and colors. Some popular types include:
- LED outdoor wall lights: Often made from stainless steel for durability and high-quality exterior use.
- LED path lights: Modern flat designs are made possible by LED technology.
- LED floodlights: Provide ample brightness for driveways with lower energy consumption.
- LED recessed lights: Ideal for driveway entries and building façades, offering long-lasting performance.
- LED outdoor ceiling lights: Perfect for covered terraces and long-term use.
- Decorative LED lights: Solar-powered or battery-operated lights such as string and rope lights. These often feature RGB color-changing functions.
