Plug and Play Solar Path Lights vs Low Voltage Path Lights
Outdoor lighting not just elevates your outdoor living environment by creating that warm welcoming ambience for but also adds to the overall property value, by making it more appealing & safer at night. Path Lights are one of the most commonly used outdoor lights. They outline boundaries for walkways and gardens to keep guests on the right track.
Path lights could be categorised as a collection of different types of lights such as Bollards, Spike lights, Spot lights, Deck lights, Uplights/Downlights etc. This is so because based on your garden terrain you have a wide variety to choose the most suitable path light. For example, to illuminate a smaller pathway, while complementing it with that nighttime sparkle, installing short bollard lights will be just appropriate. On the other hand, if you have a retaining wall next to your pathway, then one of the best options to light up the walkway will be using sleek step lights. Similarly, if you wish to highlight certain features along your walkway such as arches, adjustable spotlight path lights could be a great choice. All these types of Path lights are available in professionally manufactured Low Voltage units or as cheaply constructed self-contained solar powered lights available at local hardware stores.
Although easy to install, we recommend our buyers to refrain from using cheap solar lights due to their poor manufacturing quality. The low cost of such solar lights are indicative of their poor workmanship. Most of such cheap solar lights will stop working not long after they have been installed.
Low Voltage LED lights on the other hand are manufactured using high quality material and are incredibly durable. Whilst fairly simple DIY setup, low voltage lighting involves the use of a transformer, connectors and cables, which may seem daunting at first. However, these lights are set-and-forget kind of installations with minimal ongoing maintenance. In addition, a Low Voltage lighting systems are much more versatile and customisable for individual needs with better selection of durable, high-quality fixtures. They emit significantly more light than solar powered fixtures and present wider choice to the user with regard to the Kelvin Temperature, lumen output, and beam spread. There significantly smaller size means that they can be used in locations where solar fixtures may not be practical.
Hence to summarise, Quality, Durability, & Value are the 3 reasons why we request our customers to consider Low Voltage LED path lights over poor quality Solar lights.
Step by Step guide to clean metal wall light fixtures
While Light fixtures add that wow factor to the space, they are also attract dust, bugs, cobwebs, and dirt. In addition, outdoor lights are exposed to several environmental conditions, such as pollution, rainfall, salty air etc.
The discolouration of metal fixtures is due to an unavoidable natural phenomenon called Oxidation. In the case of Copper, Brass and Bronze surfaces, Tarnishing due to oxidation results in formation of a bluish green layer on the surface. While for Stainless Steel, this is usually referred as Tea Staining and forms a dull, non-reflective layer on the product. In both cases this reduces the shine of the fixture. However, it can easily be removed and more importantly does not affect the strength of the unit.
Oxidation of metal surfaces is more visible near coastal areas and regular maintenance will help to keep your light fixtures look brand new for a very long time. We recommend cleaning your metal light fixtures twice a year with simple steps outlined below, which will remove a light layer of metal from its surface, making it bright & shiny once again.
- The light fixture must be turned off before cleaning.
- For fixtures that uses bulbs other than LED, wait for a few minutes for the bulb to cool off before cleaning.
- To remove staining on Copper, Bronze, Brass or Stainless Steel fixtures, apply paste made from equal portions of baking soda and white vinegar to the surface of the fixture. Apply using clean microfibre cloth in soft circular movements and minimal pressure. Leave for 5-10min and wipe off with a dampened soft cloth.
Care must be taken to avoid chemical cleaners, such as those containing ammonia or alcohol (for example, glass cleaner or general-purpose cleaners), as these dull the metal surface.
- Once fully dry, polish the fixture with some WD40 or car wax to maintain the shine and extend time required between cleans.
- Reassemble your shiny metal wall light.
TIP: Using warm (yellowish) light reduces the number of bugs your fixtures will attract, while still being functional and helping us feel relaxed.
Guide for Spacing between lights & Cable length
Undoubtedly you can enjoy the landscape lights only when they are correctly spaced. If placed too close to each other, the lights could get overwhelming and if placed too far apart, may make the area appear not well lit.
A generic guideline for spacing between units for various types of garden lighting is as below. However, please note that this highly depends on your garden terrain / layout (for e.g., lots of corners and undercover area will need more lights) and most importantly, your preference with amount of light that you are comfortable with.
- Deck lights: 1.5m to 1.8m apart
- Step lights: 2 per tread for wide stairs else 1.2m to 1.5m apart
- Wall lights: 2.5m to 3m apart
- Spike lights: 1.2m to 1.8m apart
- Path lights: 1.8m to 2.0m apart
Be careful not to over-light (as it is easy to overdo it).
