How do I choose an outdoor LED light?
Wattage
There are LED flood lights with different wattage for various uses. The wattage can vary between 100 and 2000. For lighting up your garden, you will usually only need a light of 100 W, and if you have a large garden, the wattage should also increase according to the area. For large places like the parking lot, the wattage can be 1500 W.
Lifespan
Compared with indoor lights, outdoor lights work in more harsh weather. Therefore, you should pick up a light that has a relatively long service life so that you don’t have to replace it too frequently. A common LED flood light can work for 10-20 years.
IP rating
IP rating measures whether the light can resist water. Your best choice will be those flood lights that have a rating of IP 65.
