Home Outdoor Garden Lighting Project Guide

Outdoor garden lighting fixtures are prominent lighting fixtures for outdoor gardens, lawns, building exterior walls and other environments. Normally, there are far more factors than indoor considerations. Lighting area is wide, exposed to direct sunlight for a long time and soaked by rain. Ordinary materials are easily corroded. If the material of the lamp is not corrosion-proof, it is easy to cause damage to the lamp.

Regarding outdoor lighting, there are the following points:

What kind of outdoor lighting to choose?

Solar outdoor lamps are currently a popular choice in the market. Outdoor solar lights are  charged by receiving direct sunlight. Therefore, more sunlight received during the day will directly affect the duration of night lighting. On average, eight hours full of sunlight will last about 15 hours. However, for long-term habitual cloudy or rainy places, it seems that solar lamps are not friendly.

Outdoor garden lighting lumens flux

Selection of color temperature

Because it is auxiliary lighting, we hope to relax moods when walking outdoors. Garden lights are generally wall-mounted or ground plug-in installation. Let us see the road clearly. Instead of having a strong dazzling light. Choose lighting with a very warm color temperature: 2700K LEDs are ideal, or 3000K. The color temperature of 2700K provides a very soothing natural hue that mimics the warm, comfortable glow of a campfire. Therefore, it is an ideal choice for creating a relaxing and comfortable outdoor environment.

The life time of outdoor lamps

The light emitting diode lasts for 35,000 to 50,000 hours. Although outdoor lamps can usually only be used for about 1,000 hours-almost less than a day in a year, a few hours a day-LED lighting can usually be used for 50,000 hours or more. Maybe reach ten years lifetime.
