2700K or 4000K: what is best?

2700K is warm and atmospheric; 4000K is clearer for visibility and security.

How many lumens do I need?

Rule of thumb: accents 100–300 lm, paths 300–800 lm, driveway/facade 1000–3000+ lm.

Motion sensor or dusk switch?

Motion sensors save energy and add security; dusk-to-dawn is ideal for always-on orientation lighting.

What beam angle should I choose?

Narrow for accents, wide for general lighting; floodlights usually have wide beams.

Solar or 230V outdoor lighting?

Solar is easy but depends on sunlight; 230V is more consistent and powerful.

Outdoor Lighting

With outdoor lighting, you can make your garden, driveway, and facade not only more atmospheric, but also safer and more practical. Choose from decorative garden lights for patios and borders, functional lighting for the front door and driveway, and powerful LED floodlights or LED work lights for security and work areas. Filter easily by IP rating (e.g., IP44 for sheltered spots, IP65 for fully exposed areas), color temperature (warm 2700K for ambience or 4000K for clear visibility), and light output (lumens) to get the right coverage. For extra convenience, add a motion sensor or dusk-to-dawn control for automatic switching and lower energy use. From street lighting and lamp posts to sports field lighting and compact outdoor fixtures—discover everything you need to light your outdoor space efficiently and reliably.

IP44 is suitable for sheltered locations. For fully exposed outdoor use, choose at least IP65. Ground spots often use IP67 for extra protection.

2700K is warm and atmospheric for garden/terrace. 4000K is clearer for visibility on driveway/paths. For security areas, brighter is usually preferred.

As a rule of thumb: accents 100–300 lm, paths 300–800 lm, facade/driveway 1000–3000+ lm. For large areas, choose high-output floodlights.

Motion sensors are great for security and saving energy. Dusk-to-dawn is ideal for always-on orientation lighting. You can also combine both.

Narrow beams highlight objects (trees/facades). Wide beams give even general lighting. For floodlights and work lights, wide angles are common.

Solar is easy to install and good for ambience, but output depends on sunlight. For consistent brightness and reliability, 230V is best.
