Helpful Buying Guide

Choose outdoor lighting around the site, power source, and level of control needed

Start with the location you need to illuminate and whether a self-contained solar fixture or a wired lighting option fits the installation. Then compare stated lumen output, available mounting or pole options, automatic controls, aiming adjustment, and the finished appearance of the fixture.

Planning Guide

Plan the right fit before choosing

1. Identify the lighting location

Select a format suited to the application

Area and parking lights are intended for open outdoor spaces such as paths, parking areas, streets, and walkways. Adjustable security lights are intended for yards and building exteriors. Floodlights provide a dedicated option for outdoor area illumination, while bulkhead and flush-mount fixtures provide finished exterior fixture choices.

  • Use solar area lighting for self-contained outdoor illumination.
  • Consider security lighting for automatic illumination at dusk and dawn.
  • Choose bulkhead or flush-mount styles when fixture appearance is part of the selection.
  • Consider the garage light for garages, corridors, utility areas, and workshops.
2. Compare output, controls, and installation

Focus on the features that affect day-to-day operation

Listed light output ranges from 1,600 lumens on select solar area lights to up to 10,000 lumens on an adjustable security light. A solar outdoor area light provides up to 9,600 lumens, while one solar street and parking lot area light provides 4,800 lumens. Controls vary by fixture, from one-step dusk-to-dawn operation to motion activation and adjustable shutoff timing.

  • Choose adjustable output when site lighting needs may vary.
  • Select dusk-to-dawn control for automatic overnight operation.
  • Consider motion sensing where activity-triggered illumination is wanted.
  • Check whether wall, pole, mast-arm, flush, suspension, or surface mounting is represented for the fixture.
3. Review construction and site considerations

Compare lenses, housings, and placement details

Frosted diffuser and frosted acrylic lens options help diffuse or soften light output. Select solar fixtures include cast aluminum-alloy housings, tempered-glass solar panels, and adjustable aiming. For wet-location installations, one 4-foot LED fixture has a sealed fiberglass housing, non-porous gasket, stainless steel surface-mounting brackets, and IP65, IP66, and IP67 ratings.

  • Use listed fixture dimensions to plan placement where provided.
  • Consider an adjustable fixture direction for site-specific aiming.
  • Compare finish options for coordinated exterior designs.
  • For moisture-exposed locations, review the listed wet-location ratings and sealed fixture design.
