Features to Consider When Choosing Outdoor LED Wall Lights

When selecting outdoor LED wall lights for your home, it’s worth thinking beyond just the style. Here are some key factors to keep in mind:

IP Rating (Ingress Protection)

Tells you how well the fixture is protected against dust and water.

For sheltered areas, IP44 is usually enough; for exposed walls or coastal homes, go for IP65 or higher.

Material & Finish

Choose weather-resistant materials such as stainless steel, copper, or powder-coated aluminium.

Coastal homes especially benefit from marine-grade finishes that resist corrosion.

Light Direction & Design

Decide whether you want up/down lighting for dramatic effect, wide beam spread for pathways, or shielded lighting to avoid glare.

Colour Temperature

Warm white (2,700K–3,500K) creates a welcoming and cosy glow.

Cooler white (4,000K+) works well for task lighting or security.

Energy Efficiency

Ensure the light uses quality LED technology to save on power bills and last longer.

Size & Placement

Lights should be mounted at the right height (around 1.8–2.2m) and spaced to provide balanced coverage without overwhelming the area.
