What are well-lights and how are they used?
Well-lights are discreet recessed light fixtures used for outdoor lighting. You can install them in the ground, concrete, or underwater depending on the type of fixture and application, ideal for highlighting trees, flag poles, gazebos, and pillars.
Where can these lights be installed for the best effect?
These lights are perfectly suited for wall wash, path lighting, and lighting water features such as fountains and koi ponds, especially in the case of waterproof well-lights.
How bright does my landscape lighting need to be?
Depending on the application, white LED lights should be between 200-800 LM. Typically 400LM is more than enough for standard landscape lighting.
What are the benefits of LED smart lighting features?
Many LED smart lights offer wireless control for RGB and tunable white. This allows you to customize the brightness and change colors to suit seasonal events or specific design needs.
How do Lumens work for white light vs RGB colors?
Lumens measure light wavelengths of the visible spectrum. White light has multiple wavelengths, while single colors (RGB) are single-wavelength. RGB strips may have a lower lumen reading but appear just as bright as white versions.
Are these lights suitable for automatic operation?
Yes, you can add an optional timer or dusk to dawn photocell for "set and forget" operation, ensuring your landscape is illuminated exactly when needed.
