Landscape lighting serves a number of important purposes, and those purposes should be part of your consideration when choosing the right LED lights for your outdoor areas.

Safety is the single most important consideration in your outdoor lighting scheme. LED lights are an ideal choice for strip lighting stair risers and pathway or driveway edges.

LED lamps are very easy to focus, making it easier to provide both ambient and accent lighting in your outdoor environment.

Landscape lighting can also be used to add architectural interest to your building and environment. Colored or color-changing LED lights can be used to provide color washes on flat or textured walls for a dramatic lighting accent.

Warning:

One of the advantages of LED lights turns into a possible disadvantage in Northern climates. LED landscape lighting puts out very little heat. Because of their low heat output, heavy snowfall may accumulate on the light and cause problems. If you live in an area that gets snow or ice in winter, choose a light fixture that is designed to shed snow.
