Our outdoor lights necessarily? Absolutely yes! Not only do outdoor lights provide illumination on the exterior parts of your home, but they act as security lights. With good sets of lighting, no burglary will have the courage to break into your house. At Avon Outdoor Lighting Company, we believe that excellent outdoor or landscape lighting needs to have a good design.
So, always hire a professional company like us to design and come up with the right landscape plan for your home. Here are a few questions we believe are crucial to ask before you install landscape lights. |
How do you make an outdoor lighting plan?
Sketch your garden space. The first thing we do when designing an outdoor light plan is to sketch the areas outdoor. We include all the crucial parts of the area such as path walks, terrains, swimming pool( if any), and the parking section. This is important since these are the parts that require illumination.
Sort out the area. The next step involves sorting out the areas to determine which require more lighting. For example, we advocate more lights installation in the most frequented areas outdoors to ensure good visibility. Mark all these areas for quick identification when buying the lights.
Determine the lights needed. Outdoor lights come in varying styles and designs. You need to determine the use of the light to be able to come up with the best. For example, if you need lights to illuminate a large part of the garden, I would suggest focal light that has high illumination for ample lighting. Consider other needs like the mood of the lighting, the area to install, and the durability as well.
If you are not sure regarding the right lights to choose, worry not as we will help you determine the best models, depending on the area and the lighting needs. Make sure the lights have the right volts and illuminate in the right direction as needed.
How many lumens do I need for outdoor lighting?
This is determined by the type of light and where you want to install it. If you are working with a spotlight, a model with around 120 to 150 lumens will work just perfectly. If you are installing the lights on most used areas like path walks, we recommend higher lumens of about 150 to 200 lumens.
What is the best wattage for outdoor lighting?
Outdoor lights require a high level of power output considering the illumination is needed for large open areas. In this case, we are talking about 40 to 80 watts, depending on the area to use the light. For example, if you need a light that offers large illumination to a large part of the outdoors, choose a model with high watts from 40 and above.
How far apart should outdoor lighting be?
In most cases, we recommend lights that are 5 to 6/8 feet apart. But, the lumens of the lights will determine how far the lights will be set up. For low lumen lamps, we may install lights at a closer proximity to ensure good illumination and vice versa.
