The Best Quality Outdoor Lights

Path Lights

• One choice in quality outdoor lighting is path lights. Path lights are usually taller than other outdoor lighting choices, and they resemble interior-home lights. Typically, the best quality path lights come in 10-watt and 18-watt maximums. Homeowners can find them in die-cast brass, bronze or stainless steel combinations. They usually come with mounting hardware, and some come with adjustable heads. Homeowners usually place path lighting along yard entryways or parking entryways, or they are evenly spaced along footpaths.

Well Lights

• Well lights are similar to step lighting, except that they protrude more from the ground. They usually have a rounded shape and homeowners usually choose them for their aesthetic beauty. Furthermore, well lights are usually placed within an area as a focal point for nighttime yard features. They are often featured as rock bed or garden focal points. Yet, some homeowners place them within or around fish ponds if they are waterproof. Some have a maximum of 35 watts. However, homeowners can find well lights with a maximum of 50 watts. Homeowners can find stainless steel lamp holders and brass or die-cast aluminum well lights.

Step Lights

• Another choice in quality outdoor lighting is the step light. These lights are usually lower to the ground, but they still allow plenty of light along the footpaths, steps near yard entryways or steps leading to the entryway of the house. Homeowners can purchase surface-mounted and flush-mounted step lights. Surface-mounted step lights usually are mounted a few inches aboveground. However, flush-mounted step lights are inserted evenly at ground level. Homeowners can find steps lights that come with 10,000-hour light bulbs. Some step lights come with clear-frosted lenses or they can feature gated lenses in multiple shapes. Some step lights may come with bayonet bases, hooded features or wedge-based lamps.

Up Lights

• The up light is another choice for quality outdoor lighting. These types of lights usually resemble Hollywood-style lamps. The multidirection adjusting capability of up light heads is one of the main reasons to choose them. Further, some are made of die-cast aluminum or die-cast brass material. Up lights usually have a 50-watt maximum and some come with wall-mount hardware. However, homeowners have a variety of shapes to choose from, including deep canopy shapes.
