The Best LED Lighting Solutions for Illuminating Large Outdoor Spaces

Both commercial and residential properties face some practical issues when it comes to large, unlit spaces on the property. Big stretches of dark real estate can be a security concern, an inconvenience for either customers or residents, and it can also create a number of pragmatic safety concerns. Lighting those spaces, however, can also present some practical issues. Everyone wants outdoor areas lit as affordably as possible, which can be challenging when a lot of light is required. Additionally, since the lighting structure tends to be up higher, light source replacement is often more involved than changing out your average light bulb. Thankfully, there’s a solution to virtually all of those issues: LED lighting.

LED Flood Lights

Flood lights are a classic response to illuminating lots of ground outdoors. LED flood light bulbs are at least as effective as earlier lighting technologies while offering a number of improvements. For instance, replacing a 75W bulb with an LED alternative like a 12W PAR30 LED Dimmable Bulb from LED provider Hyperikon can cut power use and the power bill by as much as 84%, with an operating life expectancy of 45,000 hours (or 21 years).

LED Security Lights

For either home or commercial properties on which the priority is security lighting rather than the consistent illumination of a parking lot or landscaping feature, it’s no surprise that the best option is security lighting. LED security lights offer the same economy of energy use and a resultantly lower power bill, like other LED options. And, in addition to their efficiency and longevity benefits, motion sensors ensure that LED security lights are only activated when they need to be.

LED Barn Lights

For similarly efficient, long-lasting illumination of outdoor areas like garage doors, sheds, outbuildings, workshops, or actual barns, you can’t beat LED barn lights. They’re particularly well-suited to replace the more expensive, less efficient metal halide (like sodium vapor) lights, halogens, and fluorescents. For optimal smart-lighting efficiency, choose a photocell-equipped model for dusk-till-dawn luminosity.

LED Corn Lights

Corn lights are a cylindrical assembly of diode-studded LEDs surrounding a metal structure. They’re referred to as “corn lights” because the multiple diodes studding the LEDs are numerous enough to resemble kernels of corn on the cob. That many diodes result in an incredibly effective light source. LED corn lights are perfect replacements for older sodium vapor and other metal halide streetlights, shining as much or even more light while providing energy and power bill savings and an impressively long lifespan. Plus, they light up instantly—which means no more waiting for the light to “warm up.”

LED Shoebox Pole Light

An LED shoebox pole light is one of the most impressive providers of outdoor lighting available. A 5700K outdoor shoebox post light fixture features incredible performance, offering an amazing 133 lumens/watt. That means unbeatable illumination for street lighting, parking lots, storage and high-security areas, driveways, and anything else outdoors that could benefit from a lot of light. And like the other LED technologies featured here, they consume a fraction of the energy their predecessors did, feature an unmatchable lifespan, and some models are also photocell-optimized for dusk-till-dawn efficiency.

How to Convince Your Commercial Customers That Indoor LED Lights Are Worth the Investment

Image
Winning new contracts with large commercial facilities like manufacturing businesses, warehouses, and even office buildings can be the bread and butter for commercial electricians. With so many lighting fixtures and bulbs to install, just one years-long project can help keep a company in business. One way that commercial electricians can improve their services is by offering and installing LED lighting products. However, it’s no secret that outfitting an entire building with LED lights as opposed to less energy-efficient lighting options typically comes with a higher up-front investment, which might give some clients sticker shock. But in the end, upgrading or OEM-installing LED bulbs and fixtures can help your clients in a variety of ways, and it might be easier than you think to convince them to make the investment. Better Energy Efficiency One of the premier advantages of going with LED lights over other types is that they use less energy, which is not only goo...

Flood Lights or Spotlights? Which to Choose When Lighting an Outdoor Space

Image
Whether you’re completing an outdoor lighting install for a client, your business, or your home, you have endless options in bulb types. The two that most people usually choose between, however, are flood light bulbs and spotlight bulbs for outdoor use. While they might seem similar, the difference in the beam type can ultimately impact their utility and the lighting experience. If you’re stuck deciding between the two, here are some considerations to help you make the best choice for your project. What’s Your Coverage Area? One of the most important factors to consider is the area that you want your new lights to cover. Because flood lights and spotlights have different beam angles, they'll cover different spaces with flood lights casting light from 50 to 120 degrees and spotlights emitting a beam that's 45 degrees or less. Determining your coverage area is relatively simple and is helpful as you order your lights and install them. A simple calculation t...

Lighting Tips for Building and Outfitting a Work Shed

Image
There are the repairers and restorers, the woodworkers, and the artists. There are amateur carpenters, mechanics, metal-workers, engineers, and a world of other hobbyists, builders, and tinkerers. For any of them, their workshop is a sanctuary. But sometimes their hobbies and projects can outgrow the spare room or basement workspace that had served as the workshop. When it’s time to build a dedicated work shed, it’s essential to plan for enough light to work by. Whether it’s through windows, skylights, LED tube lights , or some combination of them, ensure your workspace isn’t botched by bad lighting. Shed vs. Work Shed A shed and a work shed are different structures for different purposes. A work shed is an outbuilding, or sometimes an attached, isolated space, meant to serve as a workshop. A shed, on the other hand, is normally just for storage. The optimal workshop requires bright, focused lighting, and electrical outlets for power tools, fans, heaters, and other...
