FAQs
If you want to learn more about outdoor lights, read our answers to some frequently asked questions below.
How do I choose the right lights for my outdoor space?
There is no one-size-fits-all answer. Choosing the right outdoor lighting solution depends on your specific environment and needs. You can evaluate the pros and cons of different outdoor lights by asking yourself the question 'What are your outdoor lights for?"
-
Security: Outdoor lights are an easy and effective way of increasing the security of your property. Bright lights are ideal for illuminating large areas clearly. This helps deter burglars and other suspicious characters.
-
Ambience: There’s nothing like spending a summer’s evening outside with your loved ones. For a pleasant and inviting atmosphere, try using warm lights with a soft glow. You might also want to opt for lights with different brightness settings so you can adjust them based on the activity you’re doing.
-
Navigation: Depending on your exterior design and landscaping, you may need to navigate outdoor pathways at night. Carefully placed ground or path lights can help improve your visibility for increased safety.
-
What is the design of your outdoor area? It’s important to consider the aesthetic and architectural design of your space when choosing outdoor lights. This will help you find the right lights to complement your style. You should also keep in mind the size of your space. For example, you might want to opt for wall-mounted lights to maximise floor space in smaller outdoor areas.
-
Do you have a set budget? Both solar lights and LEDs are extremely energy efficient. This makes them a great cost-effective option for anyone with a limited budget. However, even when working with a lower price range, it is important to buy high-quality lights that you can rely on.
How do solar lights work?
Known for their innovative designs, solar lights are both wireless and eco-friendly. Outside lights are often solar-powered, allowing you to illuminate gardens, patios or other outside areas with minimal effort. But how do solar lights actually work?
Solar lights use photovoltaic technology to convert sunlight (solar power) into usable electricity. A basic outline of this process is as follows:
-
Photovoltaic cells collect energy from the sun
-
The battery converts this power into a chemical form
-
Chemical energy charges the battery
-
The charged battery powers the light bulb
Solar lights charge most effectively in direct sunlight. Depending on the model you choose, a fully charged solar light can stay illuminated for up to 15 hours.
Many solar light bulbs come with built-in light sensors. Similar to motion sensors, these systems respond to their surroundings. They can detect when natural light starts to fade and respond by triggering the battery to power the light. This innovative design helps save energy for an eco-friendly and cost-effective lighting solution.
What should I know before buying outdoor solar lights?
Buying solar-powered outdoor lights is a long-term commitment, and it is important to be as informed as possible before making your purchase. Here are a few key points you should consider.
-
Weather: Solar lights rely on sunlight to charge their batteries. This means that overcast weather or thick cloud coverage can prevent them from charging fully. It’s important to be aware of this so you can plan for bad weather periods. Consider keeping some backup lighting solutions on hand. Popular non-solar alternatives include battery-operated or rechargeable USB lights.
-
Positioning: When deciding where to place your outdoor solar lighting, you should make sure to choose areas around your house that receive plenty of sunlight throughout the day. This will help them charge most effectively, ensuring the best possible performance.
-
Storage: Depending on seasonal changes, some people choose to store their solar lights at certain times of year to increase their lifespan and functionality. For example, storing your lights during winter (when there is minimal sun) can help protect them from harsh conditions and preserve their batteries.
It’s essential to make yourself aware of how external factors can influence your solar lights. By carefully considering the position of your lights and planning for changes in the weather, you can ensure you get the most out of your outdoor solar lighting.
What are the benefits of LED lights?
When choosing an indoor or outdoor lighting solution, you want to make sure you make an informed decision. LED bulbs (also called light-emitting diodes) offer several key advantages over incandescent lights.
In terms of energy efficiency, LEDs are the best bulbs on the market. These lights are up to 90% more efficient than traditional bulbs, making them a great way to decrease energy consumption. Opting for outdoor LED lights is a sustainable choice and perfect for consumers who want an eco-friendly lighting solution. Their efficient design also means that LED lights help reduce your energy bill for increased savings.
LED light bulbs also have a much longer lifespan than their traditional counterparts. In fact, an LED light can last up to 25 times longer than an incandescent bulb. This impressive lifespan is extremely cost-effective and, with minimal replacements required, makes for a great low-maintenance lighting solution.
