Wall spotlights for your outdoor lighting
The range of options for outdoor lighting with wall spotlights is wide-ranging, whether it's LED outdoor lights with motion detectors, outdoor wall spotlights, outdoor recessed lights for the wall or a solar outdoor wall light. You're spoiled for choice when making a decision.
We would like to give you some tips on this.
Wall spotlight with motion detector – great for entrance areas or gate entrances!
LED outdoor wall lights with motion detectors or wall spotlights with motion sensors are a useful investment if you don't want to constantly switch the lights on and off when you leave or enter the house. The sensor in the light only switches on when there is movement and switches the light off automatically, depending on the time setting.
Make sure that the radius of the motion detector is not set too large to avoid disagreements with the neighbors. This is not possible in terraced houses or semi-detached houses that are built close together. In these cases, the neighbors have to tolerate the light.
Motion detectors also deter burglars who prefer to operate in the dark. This gives you another positive effect.
Recessed wall lights – fascinating effects with up- and downlight
Recessed wall lights are a highlight for lighting steps at house entrances or walls in the entrance area or entrance walls. Outdoor lights made of stainless steel or high-quality plastic can create fascinating lighting effects on the wall.
Examples of this are the LED wall downlight SOUN-2 IP65 dark grey from Faro Barcelona or the Special EBL Set LED IP65 1.4W 4000K 76mm Opal.
In addition to high-quality material and the right color for your building, you should pay attention to the protection class for outdoor lights: Your outdoor wall light should have at least IP44 (protection against rain and small foreign objects). For use in pool lighting, etc., a correspondingly higher protection class is of course required, as a jet of water must also be prevented from penetrating.
LED spotlights for outdoor wall lighting or floor lighting
LED wall spotlights are also worth considering for use as outdoor lighting. The flexible spotlights, which can usually be rotated and swiveled, can be easily installed on the wall, ceiling or floor. Illuminate your garden beds with energy-saving LED outdoor wall spotlights in stainless steel or anthracite - or your personal desired color, depending on your taste.
Due to the large light beam, spotlights are particularly suitable for illuminating large areas and spaces. For example, for the entire driveway or as basic lighting for the terrace.
Important information before installing your outdoor wall lights:
- Plastered walls in solid houses: If the plaster is crumbly and the walls are cracked, the light cannot be installed, otherwise unsightly holes will appear and the wall may not be strong enough for your outdoor wall light.
- Insulated walls or walls of prefabricated houses: Incorrectly drilled holes can encourage the formation of mold under insulation or plaster. It is best to use special brackets and mounting systems for insulated walls to prevent damage.
If you are unsure, it is better to hire a professional craftsman to install the light for you. This will save you any damage and hassle!
