Technical FAQs 4

How much wattage do outdoor lights need?

Before calculating wattage requirements, you’ll need to identify exactly why you’re installing outdoor lights. Security lighting typically requires higher wattage (50-100 watts for traditional bulbs or 10-20 watts for LEDs) to illuminate larger areas and deter intruders.

What wattage is best for landscape lighting?

A 60-watt incandescent bulb (800 lumens) can be replaced with an 8-10 watt LED. Similarly, a 100-watt incandescent (1600 lumens) equals a 16-20 watt LED. This efficiency difference makes LEDs much more cost-effective for outdoor lighting, despite their higher initial purchase price. What wattage is appropriate for landscape feature lighting?

How many Watts should a garden lighting fixture be?

Space fixtures 6-8 feet apart for consistent light distribution. Garden accent lighting works best at even lower wattages – 2-5 watts LED for highlighting plants and landscape features. Solar-powered options typically deliver 2-4 watts per fixture, ideal for subtle garden illumination.

How does wattage affect outdoor lights?

Wattage directly determines how bright your outdoor lights will shine and how much electricity they’ll consume. A higher wattage bulb produces more lumens (the actual measure of brightness) but draws more power from your electrical system.
