Garden lighting - what to pay attention to?

As in any other form, in the field of landscape lighting there are a number of subtleties and rules that facilitate the process of selecting and designing a finished outdoor lighting system. Outdoor lighting, and safety Garden lights should have reliable grounding. This requirement is mandatory for garden lamps made of metal (or other conductive material). In the case of lamps made of plastic, which is an insulator, grounding is not necessary, since such an outdoor luminaire housing does not conduct electricity. For safety reasons, it is also worth considering the use of low-voltage lamps. It is a safe solution even in case of damage to the luminaire itself or to the cable supplying it. We can use the low-voltage power supply for dedicated low-voltage lighting or any garden lamp with a replaceable light source. Garden lighting with a replaceable light source allows us to use a low-voltage bulb (preferably LED), but requires a power supply at the beginning of installation. When designing low-voltage garden lighting, it is necessary to take into account voltage drops in the case of a long power cable (for lengths of more than several tens of meters) and solve this problem accordingly, such as. Through the use of a voltage-controlled power supply, the use of alternating current (less voltage drop), the use of an inverter. Security features. Outdoor installation allows only dustproof and waterproof luminaire models. The body of the garden lamp should be airtight and made of corrosion-resistant materials. The watertightness of a garden lamp is indicated by its IP rating. We assume that LED garden lamps, as well as ordinary lamps, are safe for outdoor use with a protection level of at least IP44. These lamps are not airtight, but they shield electrical components from rain and weather, and their design allows water to drain through gravity. Ideally, the laying of cables to power the outdoor lighting system should be done even at the stage of construction work, then there is no risk of damaging green areas. In practice, designing ahead is often impossible for several reasons, but there is still no absolute need to dig up your favorite lawn. A significant portion of the market has been taken up by LED garden lights powered by solar cells. Garden lighting - choosing the right light source. To prevent the garden from being transformed into a stadium covered with vegetation, prefer lamps with soft diffused light. For decorative lighting in the garden or at home, LED bulbs of 2W to 5W are enough. The use of a more powerful light source will cause a glare effect and looking at a garden lamp with a higher-powered source used will be a difficult experience for the eyes. The situation is different in the case of garden lanterns that are mounted high, where their purpose is to illuminate what is underneath them, i.e.: garden, path, driveway, road, park. Tall standing lamps are equipped with LED light sources from 9W upwards, up to 50W or even 150W for street lighting. Modern garden lights - replaceable or integrated LED light source?
