Whether you're improving security and visibility, illuminating pathways and entrances or creating a more welcoming outdoor space, choose from established UK lighting brands and products suited to the environment.

Use cases

Home entrances and access routes

Outdoor wall lights and bulkheads provide practical illumination around front doors, porches, garages, gates and side entrances. Choose a fitting that provides suitable light for the area while complementing the property.

Driveways and parking areas

Floodlights, bollards and other outdoor fittings can improve visibility around driveways, parking areas and vehicle access routes. Consider the area to be covered and whether automatic or sensor-controlled lighting is required.

Garden paths and walkways

Bollards, ground lights and spike lights can provide low-level illumination along paths, steps, borders and walkways. Position fittings to provide useful guidance without creating unnecessary glare.

Gardens and landscaped areas

Ground lights, spike lights, bollards and spotlights can be used to highlight planting, trees, architectural features and other areas of a garden or landscaped space. Consider the effect you want to create as well as the practical lighting required.

Security and visibility

Floodlights, wall lights and sensor-controlled fittings can improve visibility around vulnerable areas such as entrances, garages, side passages and larger external spaces. Select the light output, beam coverage and control method to suit the application.

Patios and outdoor living areas

Wall lights, bollards and decorative outdoor fittings can make patios, seating areas and other outdoor spaces more usable after dark. Softer, warmer lighting can provide a more comfortable environment where the aim is ambience rather than high-intensity illumination.

Commercial and public areas

Outdoor lighting can be used around shops, offices, commercial premises, hospitality venues, communal areas and other external spaces. Consider pedestrian routes, entrances, parking areas, security requirements and the operating environment when selecting fittings.

External working areas

Floodlights and robust outdoor fittings can provide practical illumination for yards, workshops, service areas and other external working environments. Check the fitting's IP rating and construction against the conditions where it will be installed.

Choosing the right product

Not sure which outdoor lighting you need?

Start by considering where the light will be installed, what you want it to achieve and how exposed the fitting will be to the weather.

For entrances, porches and walls

Outdoor wall lights, lanterns and bulkheads are suitable for entrances, porches, garages, patios and other wall-mounted applications. Consider the style of the property, the amount of light required and whether the fitting will be sheltered or fully exposed.

For paths, driveways and access routes

Bollards, ground lights and spike lights can provide practical illumination along paths, driveways, steps and other access routes. Consider the area you need to cover and whether you want general illumination, low-level guidance or more focused lighting.

For gardens and landscaped areas

Ground lights, spike lights and spotlights can be used to highlight planting, trees, borders and architectural features. Choose the fitting based on the effect you want to create and the location where it will be installed.

For larger areas and security lighting

Floodlights provide wider, higher-output illumination for driveways, yards, gardens, entrances and larger external areas. Consider the area to be covered, required light output and whether a sensor or other control is needed.

For decorative outdoor lighting

Lanterns, wall lights and other decorative fittings can provide practical illumination while complementing the appearance of a property or outdoor space. Consider the style, finish, light direction and colour temperature where these are important to the overall effect.

Check the IP rating

Outdoor fittings are exposed to moisture, dust and changing weather conditions, so the IP rating should be appropriate for the installation location. Sheltered positions may require less protection than fittings installed in fully exposed areas. Always check the product specification before choosing a fitting.

Consider the light output

Think about how much light the area actually needs. A path or garden feature may require relatively low-level illumination, while a driveway, yard or security application may require a higher-output fitting. Check the product's lumen output rather than relying on wattage alone.

Check the power source and installation

Check whether the fitting is mains powered, solar powered or requires another power supply. For permanent electrical installations, make sure the product is suitable for the intended installation and consult a suitably qualified electrician where required.

Frequently asked questions

What type of outdoor lighting do I need?

The right fitting depends on where it will be installed and what you want it to achieve. Wall lights and bulkheads work well around entrances and buildings, while bollards, ground lights and spike lights are suited to paths and landscaped areas. Floodlights are better suited to larger areas and security applications.

What IP rating do I need for outdoor lighting?

The required IP rating depends on where the fitting will be installed and how exposed it will be to rain, moisture and dust. A sheltered entrance may have different requirements from a fitting installed in a fully exposed garden or external working area. Always check the individual product specification before purchasing.

How many lumens do I need for outdoor lighting?

The required light output depends on the area being illuminated and the intended use. Decorative garden lighting and pathways generally require less light than driveways, yards or security applications. Compare products by their lumen output rather than wattage alone.

Can outdoor lights be fitted with PIR sensors?

Some outdoor lights have built-in PIR sensors, while others can be controlled using separate sensors or switching equipment. Check the individual product specification to confirm whether a sensor is included or whether the fitting is compatible with external control equipment.

Are solar outdoor lights as bright as mains-powered lights?

Solar lighting can be an effective option where running a mains supply would be difficult or unnecessary. However, brightness and operating time depend on the individual product, solar panel, battery capacity and available sunlight. For consistently higher light output or longer operating periods, mains-powered lighting may be more appropriate.

Can I install outdoor lighting myself?

The installation requirements depend on the product and the electrical supply involved. Some low-voltage and solar products may be straightforward to install, while mains-powered outdoor lighting forms part of an electrical installation and may require work by a suitably qualified electrician. Always follow the manufacturer's installation instructions.
