Shedding Light on LED Exterior Lights

As electricians, part of our job is to ensure that outdoor spaces are well-lit and safe. A reliable and energy-efficient lighting option for outdoor areas is LED exterior lights.

However, with so many types available, choosing the right LED light for the job can be overwhelming.

In this blog post, we will explore the various types of LED exterior lights, including street lights, flood lights, and wall lighting, and provide tips on where to use them for the best effect.

LED Street Lights

LED street lights are designed to illuminate the streets and sidewalks in residential and commercial areas. They are very durable and have a long lifespan compared to traditional street lights. Street lights are ideal for lighting up large areas as they provide a wide beam spread. They are also highly energy-efficient, making them a perfect option for reducing energy costs. When installing street lights, make sure they are spaced evenly to provide an even lighting distribution.

LED Flood Lights

Flood lights provide a broad beam of light and are typically used for security purposes. LED flood lights are becoming more widely used in commercial and residential applications due to their energy efficiency and long lifespan. They are a great option for lighting up large open spaces such as parking lots, driveways, and walkways. They can also be installed on the exterior of buildings to highlight architectural features, providing a modern and stylish look.

LED Wall Lights

Wall lighting is a versatile option for lighting up exterior spaces. They can be installed on walls to provide lighting for pathways and entrances to homes or commercial buildings. Types include bunker lights, up & down lights and twinspots. They can also be installed near gardens and landscaping to highlight outdoor features. LED wall lights are very energy-efficient and come in a variety of styles, from contemporary to understated classic designs. When installing wall lights, make sure the light is directed away from the wall to reduce glare.
