The ingress protection (IP) rating is comprised of two numbers: the first representing resistance to solids (on a scale from 1 to 6), and the second resistance to water (on a scale of 1 to 8). Water resistance may be an obvious feature, but some garden lights do a better job of preventing water and dust from getting inside than others.
If you’re looking for lighting to navigate a large outdoor area on dark nights, you may also want to consider floodlights for your property. Bear in mind that these are designed to light up a pathway, with multiple staked lights or provide a warm extra glow to your yard. The garden lights we cover range from 10 to 80 lumens. A standard headlamp or flashlight will emit around 200 lumens, whereas floodlights will range anywhere from 1,000 to 3,000 lumens. Manufacturers use the unit of a lumen to measure the brightness of a light. Finally, there are decorative garden lights that add personality and whimsey to gardens, often featuring metal scrollwork and a globe light source. Lanterns are popular for backyards to hang on tall shepherds hooks around beds or along fencing. There are also spotlights, typically used to highlight landscaping or the house, and are good for increasing safety along with upping visual appeal. Along with aesthetic value, these garden lights also make dark areas safe to navigate.
Many garden lights are designed to be staked in the ground-shaped as flat disks or mini torches-that are ideal for placing along the sides of a driveway or walkway. While we're all for energy efficient options and ease of installation, keep in mind that these lights may be dim in comparison to corded electric and battery-operated garden lights. The most inexpensive garden lights are solar-powered. Depending on the layout of your outdoor space-and how bright you want it to be-there are a few things to consider when choosing the best garden lights to illuminate it.
