Outdoor lighting and the advantages of LED
In our opinion, LED light sources are the clear favourite when it comes to outdoor lighting, and we carry a large selection of outdoor lamps with built-in LED light sources. LEDs save energy and have very long lifespans – anywhere from 10 to 25 years.
By using LED light sources, you can keep your energy consumption – and energy costs – down, and still welcome your guests with warm and comfortable lighting that doesn’t create glare.
It’s always a good idea to keep colour temperature in mind when choosing outdoor lighting, and this is just one of the many areas where LEDs excel since they’re available with a range of colour temperatures. Look for a Kelvin rating, the standard for measuring colour temperatures – 2600° Kelvin provides very comfortable light. You can read all about light colour here.

Nice to know about outdoor lamps
We’ve covered a few of the different types of outdoor lamps, but there are plenty more. They provide both decoration and security for your outdoor spaces, especially near the front door, on the facade, along the driveway and around the terrace. Glowing outdoor lamps are a wonderful way to welcome people to your home.
It’s important to consider materials and finishes when choosing new outdoor lighting. If you live near the ocean, for example, you’ll need lamps that can tolerate the salt in the air.
‘Galvanised’ is a word that you’ll see frequently when you’re looking at outdoor lamps. In the galvanising process iron or steel is coated with a layer of zinc, which prevents corrosion and keeps the metal looking attractive as time passes.
Keep the three Ws in mind: wind, water and weather. You want to make sure that you can enjoy your outdoor lamps for years to come. Don’t forget about intrusion resistance either - represented by the IP code – since outdoor lamps need to withstand rain, snow and everything else the weather will throw at them. You can read more about IP codes here.
