LIGHTING DESIGN
How do you make an outdoor lighting plans?
The best way to make your own outdoor lighting plan is to work with one of our professionals. We are able to sit down with you and discuss what your vision is for the yard and what you should like to see happen when everything is done. We can also take a look at your yard and see what would fit right and can bring some plans along for you to look over and see what sticks out for you. We have helped many customers in the past with their dream yards and can provide a lot of different lighting options based on your budget, your yard, and your vision and are happy to help you out too. How many lumens do I need for outdoor lighting? The lumens you need will depend on what you are trying to do with your lighting. For example, if you want to use a light that is for outdoor wall lights, then going with something up to 185 lumens is enough. If you want some lighting for a path for walking, then you should go with something closer to 200 lumens. Motion sensor lights can be a bit higher at 300 to 700 lumens and garden lights can range between 600 to 1800 depending on how much light you want. |
What is the best wattage for outdoor lighting?
There are different types of wattage that you can use for all types of lighting. If you are looking for indoor lighting, you will most likely work with bulbs that are 80 watts or higher. Bulbs that are 100 watts and higher are good where a lot of pedestrians will walk around or in parking lots so they may be too bright for your home.
Mid-range or low wattage bulbs are usually the best for your backyard. If you want some gentle light to see in the backyard, then going with something around 60 watts is the best option. If you want just enough to make walking easier without being too bright, then you should stay below 40 watts.
How far apart should outdoor lighting be?
The amount of spacing that you need for your outdoor lighting will depend on how large the area is and what your goals are. However, the rule of thumb that you can follow for this is to space the lights six to eight feet apart at a time. This will help you to keep a pathway around the home or the garage bright and lit up well. Some homeowners choose to put them together a little closer to provide more lighting so that is an option as well.
