How many LED Area Lights do you need?
The most scientific way to calculate the number of LED Area Lights you need is to create an AREA lighting plan.
An AREA lighting plan will provide you a report on how bright your outdoor area can be. It will also show you evenly distributed the light is between light fixtures. We can create your custom area lighting plan for your outdoor area for Free.
This takes the risk out of your LED purchase.
Can you use lighting controls with LED Area Lights?
Yes. The most common lighting control used outdoors are photocells and motion sensors.
Photocells turn lights on at dusk and off at dawn
Motion Sensors turn lights to full brightness when motion is detected and off when no activity is detected
Lighting controls work well with LED Area Lights because they, be design, can be dimmed. They also can turn on and off instantly, so they work well with motion sensors.
What are the best LED Area Lights?
The "Best LED Area Light Fixture" are the ones that work best for your outdoor area. There is no such thing as a single Best LED Area light. Different areas have different requirements and conditions, and no one light serves all needs and functions.
The best way to determine what area light is best for you is to create an Area Lighting Plan. We can help you with that, and create a plan that models your outdoor area, light and pole locations. We then add lights to these locations ( or new locations if you need ) and can show you what led area lights we think are the Best Area Lights are for you.
