FAQ

Solar or 240V outdoor lights?

Solar is easy to place; 240V is brighter/reliabler for paths and security — use an electrician for fixed wiring.

IP rating?

Look for outdoor IP ratings suited to rain exposure.

Warm or cool white?

Warm white feels inviting in living zones; cool white aids task/security areas.

Path lighting tips?

Low glare, even spacing, avoid blinding neighbours.

Near salt air?

Choose corrosion-resistant fixtures and rinse occasionally.
