Decide based on the outdoor design

Based on the names of these lights, it is not difficult to infer that they are used in different places outdoors, so you can choose specific products based on the outdoor scene. For example: If there is a fence outdoors, you can choose a fence light.

Decide based on the color of the house and the outdoors

Choosing products of the same color will make the whole scene look very harmonious and comfortable. You can choose products of a specific appearance based on the style you want to present.

How many lumens do I need for outdoor light?

Soft and warm lighting sets a welcoming and cozy ambiance, perfect for creating a comfortable outdoor environment. For enhanced security and visibility, brighter and cooler lighting is recommended.

Specific outdoor lighting needs vary: landscape lights typically range from 50 to 300 lumens, path lights are effective at 100-200 lumens, landscape spotlights generally provide around 120 lumens, and lamp posts typically range from 120 to 180 lumens, ensuring both safety and aesthetic appeal in outdoor spaces.
