HOME & GARDEN: ADVICE FOR BEAUTIFUL OUTDOOR HOME LIGHTING

A well thought-out lighting plan for your outdoor area is important in many ways. With cool light you ensure safety around your house, whereas warm light creates a cozy, sociable mood on the patio, deck, or yard – for example, during an outdoor celebration or get-together with family and friends. This requires a harmonious lighting plan. With or without embellishments, classic or modern: your house, your garden, your style. And with the latest LED technology, like SMART+ outdoor strips or solar lighting, you can say goodbye to excessive electricity bills.

AN OVERVIEW OF YOUR LED
OUTDOOR LIGHTING PLAN:

• LED exterior wall luminaires are available as direct and indirect light - and stylish. Wall or outdoor sconce lights not only illuminate patios with energy-saving LED lamps, but are also ideal for house entrances or driveways. Equipped with double light output, outdoor lighting accentuates your home beautifully. And thanks to adjustable heads, you can even deploy spot lighting.
• LED Solar lights provide a decorative accent and versatility all while providing 100% savings. Going green is a bright idea for your outdoor spaces and are rated for year-round use.
• LED Dusk to Dawn lights automatically switch on when low light is present. With an auto on/off switch, these are ideal for entryways, driveways, sheds, and much more. You never have to set a switch and they follow the sun's natural light - morning and night.
• LED pathway lights are available as lanterns or pedestal lights. They will illuminate and guide you down a path or drive. With outdoor lighting, your patio can be framed with money-saving LEDs or you can highlight your flowerbeds.
• LED strip lights are the ideal way of letting your lighting creativity run wild in your yard or landscaping. The exterior lights not only accentuate your garden highlights, but also emit a pleasant glow.
• LED floodlights have a very high luminous power and optimal light distribution. They can be ideal for garage lighting, for example.
• SMART+ WiFi outdoor cameras also help make home living easy, safe, and smart. With an HD camera, two way audio, night vision, and instant sharing, protect your exteriors and yards with smart home living.

400 to 600 lumens are enough for pleasant outdoor lighting. For a powerful outdoor spotlight, you should choose more than 1,000 lumens.

Which lightbulbs are suitable for outdoor lighting?

LED bulbs are highly recommended for outdoor lighting. They score well on energy-saving and usually have a long life.

Outdoor lights should at least conform to IP44. If lights are exposed to strong jets of water, such as through a lawn sprinkler, a minimum of IP65 is required.
