What types of outdoor LED lights are available?

Good lighting around the house and the entire property is essential. Garden lights are an essential element of a modern home, because they are not only a decorative element, but also increase the safety of moving around after dark. There are many different models of garden lighting on the market, which have different parameters. So what types of outdoor lights are available?

What to look for when choosing outdoor LED lighting?

When choosing outdoor LED lighting, its technical parameters are very important, and only then aesthetic values. First of all, you should pay attention to the IP index. This enigmatic-sounding abbreviation hides the name International Protecting Rating. It determines the extent to which a given lamp model is resistant to weather conditions. In the case of outdoor models, they most often have a degree of resistance IP44, IP65 and IP67. The first variant is usually assigned to garden posts, wall lamps and outdoor LED lights that are located under partial roofing. This type of equipment is protected primarily against moisture and raindrops. Models with the IP65 class are resistant to dust and rainwater. This value is very often found in the description of standing LED lamps. IP67 means that the product is very well protected against heavy rain and can operate in very dusty conditions. This type of outdoor home lighting is used to illuminate water features, but it can also be mounted on the facade. Outdoor LED lamps, which can also be found in our offer, are products made of durable and solid materials. Thanks to this, you can be sure that this is a purchase for years. However, before making a purchase, it is worth considering whether you need all-night lighting for your property or whether the lamps should turn on when motion is detected. In the latter case, it is worth choosing models with a motion sensor. First of all, this is an energy-saving version that allows you to check whether someone is approaching your home. Of course, you can combine both of these solutions and buy, for example, the Kobi Solaris 3 wall lamp, which is additionally equipped with a solar panel. This means that it will work great wherever there is no possibility of connecting the lamp to the power supply.

What are the types of outdoor LED home lighting?

The first type of outdoor LED lighting is facade lamps, also known as wall lamps. This is an ideal choice for lighting the entrance to a building, terrace or balcony. Outdoor wall lamps are available in many versions, e.g. classic and modern.

The first variant resembles street lamps from the 19th century in terms of design. They can be mounted on any facade and at the same time add a bit of retro style to the building. They most often use E27 bulbs with a warm color. Modern wall lamps are recommended for buildings and gardens in modern versions. As a rule, GU10 bulbs with a power of 4 to 10 W in a neutral color are used in them.

Hanging garden lamps are used in gazebos and on terraces. Models similar to old lamps are often available and warm-colored bulbs are installed in them. A new trend is strings of lamps, which are called garlands with many bulb sockets. Thanks to this solution, you can create a very interesting arrangement of the house and garden.

Another type of outdoor lighting is garden posts. They are great for illuminating paths or pavements, but they can also be placed around the terrace. Garden balls have recently become increasingly popular. They are made of a special plastic, most often polyethylene, which is resistant to weather conditions. Some models can look like stones. This type of outdoor lighting looks best in a composition of several pieces.

Another type is solar lamps, and they have been chosen very often in recent years. This is primarily an energy-saving solution, because they do not require connection to electricity. They are powered by sunlight. This type of garden and home lighting is equipped with a twilight sensor, which means that they turn on after dark.

Garden spotlights are lamps that allow you to illuminate, for example, trees, a part of the building's facade or a path. Installing such a spotlight is very simple, just like garden balls. They usually just need to be driven into the ground using a spike, which is included in the set. Solar models can also be found on the market. On the other hand, driveway and ground lamps are most often used to illuminate the house, garage driveway and paths. Such fixtures are very durable and resistant to pressure and weather conditions, and in addition, they have several to a dozen diodes built in, which provides a strong beam of light.

LED outdoor lamps with motion sensor and their advantages

Lamps with motion sensor are a very good choice because they guarantee comfort and safety of moving around the property after dark. Each LED light source connected to the motion detector starts automatically. So there is no need to look for switches when it gets dark. Using such a solution in lighting is also an opportunity to generate savings. LED outdoor lighting lamps use electricity only when they detect movement. In addition, LED bulbs also need less electricity to effectively illuminate the selected area.
