It sounds like a very cozy evening.✨️ With spring here, have you considered your outdoor lighting design? ALUSSO offers you some ideas.🫡

First, Clarify Your Outdoor Lighting Needs

Safety Lighting

Safety always comes first. It's easy to trip while walking at night, and potential criminals might lurk around your property. Security lights can effectively address these issues.

Ambiance Lighting

With a little effort, outdoor spaces can be transformed into excellent relaxation areas. Use spotlights to highlight architectural features, and soft, warm lighting can turn your patio or garden into a serene retreat.

Factors to Consider for Outdoor Lighting

Weather Resistance

Outdoor lighting must withstand harsh weather conditions. Therefore, before choosing fixtures, it's essential to understand the IP rating, which indicates the fixture's resistance to water and dust.

• IP44 is suitable for covered patios or porches.
• IP65 is ideal for open areas exposed to rain or snow.
• IP67 or higher can even handle submersion in water.

It's recommended to choose lights with an IP65 rating or higher.

Brightness

Different areas require different brightness levels.

• 100-300 lumens are suitable for pathways, ensuring safety and visibility.
• Gardens should have 300-800 lumens to showcase their beauty. 
• For patios, light strings with low lumens can also create a comfortable vibe.

Cost-Effective Outdoor Lighting Options

Motion Sensor Lights

These lights automatically turn on when motion is detected, saving electricity bills and making it easier to enter your home at night without fumbling for keys in the dark. They also serve as a deterrent to potential intruders.

We recommend ALUSSO Security Lights with motion sensor, which offer three modes: Auto, On Time, and Dusk to Dawn. You can remote them to adjust the detection distance, lighting duration, and the ambient brightness. Using motion sensor lighting can reduce your outdoor lighting energy consumption by over 30%!

Solar Lights

Solar lights charge during the day and illuminate your outdoors at night, which are eco-friendly choices. Remember to place them in sunny spots like gardens or open courtyards. 

We recommend ALUSSO Solar Ground Spotlights with three CCT options that can illuminate up to 25 meters. You can freely adjust the angle to light up trees, gardens, fountains, or flags, making your yard shine at night.

Installing wall lights on your porch combines functionality with decoration. 

We recommend ALUSSO Up Down Wall Lights with spot beams to illuminate objects clearly and highlight architectural features. The stainless steel finish is both stylish and durable. These wall lights also have motion sensor, making your outdoor lighting even more energy-efficient.
