When setting up garden lights to outdoor gardens, we often need to consider several points:
- Highlight the best trees first;
- Highlight the color of the plants;
- Accent the background atmosphere created by the garden.
Above aspect are the basic elements needed for garden lighting.
In addition, we still need to consider some important elements for the special lighting environment of the garden light.
-
How do I set up the garden lights? How far between with each other?
As a rule of thumb, placing the ground garden led spot lights every 7 to 9 feet can maintain the bright and good lighting of your road without being too glare.
-
How many lumens does an outdoor garden lamp need?
The choice of lumens depends on the location of the garden light plug. Basic general lighting can be around 150 lumen. When doing sports at night, better visibility is needed to see the road, the lumen of the light needs to be more than 600 lumens. On the other hand, if it is placed in an outdoor garden for decorative wall lamps, it only needs 150 lumens. Most garden landscape lights have floor-to-ground lights in the range of 100-400 lumens.
-
What should be the color temperature of the garden spot light?
As usual, most outdoor landscape gardens have a Kelvin color temperature color in the range of 3000K-4500K. Compared to the usual architectural lighting, the outdoor color temperature tends to be cool color.
-
How long does the landscape garden light last for night lighting?
Due to the long use time of garden lights and high power consumption, the current LED life can reach 50,000 hours, so the use time is generally not less than 3 years.
-
Waterproof and dustproof ability of garden light
In view of the special environment of the outdoor garden light, outdoor environment for a long time requires high waterproof and dust-proof ability, otherwise it will be difficult to withstand the bad weather outdoors. Normally, waterproof and dustproof grade should be at least IP65.
