LED landscape lighting is not new; in fact, it has been around for some time. However, LED technology has advanced and become more valuable. LEDs for outdoor lighting in residential and commercial exterior spaces are relatively new. LED light bulbs are more reliable and longer-lasting than the traditional lights found in most outdoor lighting. They use less energy, last longer, and produce even illumination in an outdoor setting. Keep reading for more reasons to choose LED landscape lighting.

Energy Efficiency

LED lights are more energy efficient than any other type of light. The average LED is roughly 90 percent more efficient than incandescent bulbs. Incandescent bulbs release the majority of their energy as heat. As a result, this translates to lower monthly energy bills, savings that will substantially increase over time.

Durability

Another reason LED lights are perfect for landscape lighting is their durability. Unlike other types of lights, LED lights aren’t bulbs, which means there is no risk of glass breaking before their expected lifespan is up. This also makes them safer since you won’t have to worry about broken bulbs in your yard. Additionally, LEDs have been tested to withstand harsh weather conditions and heavy foot traffic.

Cool to the Touch

Incandescent light expends about 90% of its energy through heat, not light, into the surrounding landscape. This poses a potential burn risk for animals and children that get too close to the lighting bulb. LED lights prevent this problem by converting most of the electricity they receive into light, not heat. This makes them the ideal solution for walkways, gardens, and other areas where guests need to walk.

High-Quality Lighting

LED lighting produces a clean, white light, making it a higher quality than many other options. When one of your landscape lighting design goals is to improve your property’s curb appeal, high-quality outdoor lighting is exactly what you want. Additionally, you can choose from multiple colors and light intensities, providing more control and making it safer to use your outdoor areas at night.

Long Lifespan

An LED light lasts up to 20,000 hours before it needs to be replaced. Traditional halogen light bulbs only last up to 4,000 hours. This is one of the reasons why the slightly higher initial cost of LED lights is worth the price since you won’t have to constantly replace dead bulbs, saving you money and peace of mind.
