There are many different options available to you when it comes to selecting and arranging the lighting for your outdoor space. There are a variety of outdoor lights available, but some may be better suited for your needs depending on the area and purpose for which they will be used. Here, we’ll take a more in-depth look at one of the most popular options for outdoor lighting, which is the use of LEDs. We’ll take a look at the benefits if any, that LED lights provide, as well as whether or not you should consider using them for your next outdoor lighting project.

Cost-effectiveness:

LED lights provide a number of advantages, one of the most significant of which is the low cost of maintaining and operating them. When compared to a light with the same level of brightness produced by an incandescent or halogen bulb, an LED light consumes up to 90 percent less energy on average. However, this only accounts for a portion of the total cost savings. Because they last significantly longer than these other kinds of bulbs, you also save money because you won’t have to replace them nearly as frequently. Therefore, LED lights can help you save money in two different ways: on your monthly electric bill and on your overall shopping expenses.

Outside of the savings on both money and energy that can be realized by using LED lighting, there are a number of additional benefits that can be realized by using LED lighting in outdoor settings. Let’s take a look at some of the benefits of LED lighting that aren’t as widely known as others.

An Extensive Range of Color Tints and Alternatives:

Traditional bulbs do come in a variety of colors, but not nearly as many as LED lights do. LED lights are becoming increasingly popular. You’ll find that the color options for LED lighting are much more extensive. Additionally, some LED lights allow you to change the color temperature. Also, many modern LED lights are dimmable (make sure the ones you buy are dimmable). If you want to set a certain mood or create a certain ambiance, you can adjust the lighting to reflect that. LED lights’ color versatility is unrivaled, thanks to their wide range of available colors and tints. These features make them great additions to a garden with a fountain or a patio outside the home.

Ambient Lighting for Large Areas

It’s tough to match the brightness of LED lights with incandescent or halogen alternatives. Therefore, it is likely that you will need fewer LED lights than you would with halogen or incandescent bulbs to achieve the same effect. Since LEDs produce such focused, powerful light, they are the best choice if you need to illuminate a large area, such as a deck or patio.

Extraordinary Luminosity:

LEDs not only provide a more focused and powerful illumination, but they also give off the impression of being much brighter. LEDs are significantly more efficient and produce a brighter light than incandescent bulbs. This is especially important to keep in mind during times, like twilight, when the impact of outdoor lights has not yet reached its full effect. Therefore, if you need to illuminate outdoor areas such as buildings, bays, lawns, security checkpoints, parking lots, and so on, then you should look for some high bay LED lights, flood LED lights, and wall pack LED lights available at Maes Lighting. 

Lots of Choices:

The variety of shapes, sizes, and hues available for LED lights is practically infinite. Any type of outdoor space can be illuminated with one of the many available options, which come in a wide range of brightnesses, colors, and tints. In addition, the light output is significantly higher, which means that you can use them virtually anywhere. The following are some of the most ideal locations for installing outdoor LED lights:

• At doorways, to monitor activity and prevent intrusion.
• Use as accent lighting in sconces or outdoor fixtures.
• Outside space, maybe a patio or deck.
• Submersion in a pool, hot tub, pond, or fountain.
• Bays, lawns, parking lots, garages, car service stations, oil refineries, cold storages, etc.

Fewer Insects: 

One additional benefit of some types of LED lighting is that they draw fewer insects than other types of lighting. Bugs that are drawn to the light coming from your patio or pool can be one of the most annoying things to deal with when you’re trying to relax or cookout on your deck or patio. It’s hard to imagine a situation that’s more frustrating. Due to the fact that insects use ultraviolet and infrared spectrums for navigation and finding food, some LED lights attract fewer bugs than conventional outdoor lights. Since the UV radiation from some LED bulbs is relatively low, they don’t attract as many insects.
