What is LED landscape lighting, and how does it work?

LED Landscape Lighting is the replacement for traditional high-pressure sodium (HPS) and metal halide lights. It’s a fixture designed as an alternative light source for outdoor lighting.

LED landscape lighting has built-in semiconductors called LEDs (Light Emitting Diode) that emit light when an electric current passes through them. The electrons are forced into higher energy levels when exposed to ultraviolet or blue rays but gradually return to their normal state with the release of energy through the emission of particles that make up light.

In short, LEDs provide more light and use less power than traditional filament lighting.

How to choose LED landscape lighting?

Before buying LED outdoor landscape lighting, there are some essential things to take into consideration.

  • The first thing to consider is how much light you need? You can choose from spotlights, floodlights, or wall packs. There are different wattages available depending on the size of your place.
  • Another thing to consider is the kind of light that you need. As there are three types of lighting fixtures, you can choose from fully shielded, partially shielded, and non-shielded lighting fixtures.
  • Before buying LED landscape lighting, you also need to consider the lumens per watt rating. This reading will tell you how much light is being put out by a fixture. A lower number means that the fixture emits more lumens, while a higher number indicates fewer lumens emitted from that fixture.

Are there any downsides to using LED landscape lighting?

The main downside of LED landscape lighting is the initial cost. Compared to traditional light fixtures, LED lights are more expensive.

However, you can save money in the long run because of their energy efficiency and longer lifespan.

What should I keep in mind when I’m choosing fixtures for my LED landscape lighting?

Two things you should keep in mind when choosing fixtures for your landscape lighting are the color temperature and the luminosity. The color temperature determines how “warm” or “cool” the light appears, while luminosity refers to its brightness.

What type of maintenance will my LED lights require?

LEDs require no maintenance; you just replace them as they burn out. Since LEDs can last up to 50,000 hours, you don’t need to replace them for a long time.
