Outdoor Lighting

How to choose outdoor lighting

Match the IP rating to the position. IP44 resists splashing and suits a covered porch. IP65 withstands direct rain and jets, and is the sensible floor for anything on an exposed wall or in a garden bed. IP67 and IP68 cover temporary and permanent immersion, which is what a pond or pool fitting needs.

For solar, judge the panel rather than the lamp. A fitting in shade for most of the day will not charge regardless of its battery, and separate-panel models — where the panel mounts apart from the light on a lead — solve the common case of a shaded wall beside a sunny roof.

For security lighting, look at the sensor's detection angle and range, not just the floodlight's brightness. A 180-degree sensor covering twelve metres is more useful on a driveway than a brighter lamp triggered too late.

What we stock in Outdoor Lighting

Our Outdoor Lighting department currently holds 1,498 products across 12 live categories: Solar Lights, Outdoor Wall Lights, Garden Lights, Landscape & Spike Lights, Floodlights & Security, Step & Ground Lights, Up & Down Outdoor, Patio & Festoon, Underwater & Pool, Bollard & Pathway Lights, Entrance & Villa Lights and Outdoor Ceiling & Pendants. Each category has its own page with the full selection, so you can compare like with like rather than scrolling past everything else in the department.

Outdoor Lighting in this range runs from about $2.99 to $230, with most sitting near $24.99. Cheaper options generally mean simpler materials or fewer included pieces rather than something being wrong with them — decide what the item genuinely needs to do before paying for capability you will not use.

Common mistakes worth avoiding

Over-lighting a garden. A few low, warm markers along a path read better and preserve night vision; a single bright floodlight flattens everything and blinds anyone walking toward it.

Treating an indoor-rated fitting as outdoor because it is under an eave. Wind-driven rain reaches further than the roof line, and water entering an unsealed fitting is what causes the corrosion that kills it.
