Types of Outdoor Lights

We want to help you find the right exterior lighting for your garden, driveway or business. Our range includes outdoor sensor lights that come on automatically when it gets dark for maximum convenience. Our outside lights with sensors detect motion for increased security. At the same time, our ambient outdoor lighting solutions can be attached to walls, rooted in the ground or sunk into decking, paths and driveways. Most of our outdoor lights use LED technology for excellent energy efficiency.

Garden Lights

Garden lights add an attractive touch to outdoor spaces, illuminating paths, plants and features. Our range includes solar-powered and low-voltage LED garden lights, enhancing curb appeal. Garden lights contribute to aesthetics and security, letting you stay outside long after dark. Shop our garden lights and lightbulbs here to find something for your space.

Choosing Outdoor Lights for Your Home

The right outdoor lighting depends on the area you want to illuminate and the effect you want to create:
- Front door and porch lights — welcoming glow for guests and a visible deterrent to intruders
- Driveway and pathway lights — safe navigation after dark with ground-level or bollard-style fittings
- Garden and decking lights — ambient lighting to extend your outdoor living space into the evening
- Security and floodlights — motion-activated, high-output fixtures for perimeter protection
- Solar-powered lights — energy-free operation with no wiring needed, ideal for garden borders and fences

IP Ratings for Outdoor Lighting

When choosing outside lights, always check the IP (Ingress Protection) rating to ensure the fitting can withstand outdoor conditions. IP44 is the minimum recommended for sheltered outdoor areas, while IP65 or above is advised for fully exposed positions where the fitting will face direct rain and wind.
