Are you looking to enhance the quality of your outdoor spaces? Do you have a home renovation scheduled? If so, it is wise to familiarize yourself with the different brightness levels to help you achieve the desired effect. At Abulous Lighting, we leverage extensive knowledge and experience to help you choose the right brightness for your fixtures. Our technicians work with you throughout the process, ensuring the results align with your preferences and meet your specific needs. When it comes to landscape lighting, it is not just about installing many fixtures but also ensuring the right brightness level. Let’s explore crucial factors to consider to make your landscape safe, aesthetically appealing, and functional.
The unit for light measurement is lumens. Electricians use lumens to determine the brightness of lighting fixtures for specific purposes, helping you make the most of your outdoor spaces. While homeowners often look for an easy answer to the lumens required for landscape lighting, there are many variables to consider before investing in outdoor lighting fixtures.
The reality is that every property is different and will have different illumination needs. Additionally, there are a lot of variations around each property depending on the different areas that need attention. If you are considering a landscape lighting installation for an outdoor kitchen, the brightness should be different from a cozy fireplace. With that said, it’s crucial to hire a lighting professional who understands the different lumens for a range of applications.
When it comes to landscape lighting, it’s crucial to note that less is more. With this in mind, ensuring your outdoor lights are bright when needed and not too bright when setting a specific mood is crucial. That’s why it’s not a straightforward answer when choosing brightness levels for outdoor spaces.
Before undertaking a landscape lighting project, consider personal preferences and customization to ensure you achieve the desired brightness. By working with a professional, you can create a custom outdoor light design for your home.
As mentioned, less is more in most outdoor lighting projects. If you overdo it on brightness, you risk taking away from the overall curb appeal. A licensed technician understands varying intensities, making your outdoor spaces unique and multi-dimensional. A common mistake DIYers make when choosing brightness levels is failing to consider the different lighting intensities.
However, hiring a certified technician ensures you get a suitable design that adds functionality and aesthetic appeal where needed. This goes a long way to truly maximize the use of your landscape and get your money’s worth. Before buying fixtures, consult a reliable technician to achieve the desired design without breaking the bank.
Lumen guidelines for landscape lighting installation projects depend on the space. According to industry experts, pathways and driveways require 100-200 lumens or brighter, depending on your preferences and needs. Before investing in path lights, reach out to a professional to determine the right lumens and achieve the desired effect.
As we enter the festive season, adding decorative lights is a big part of creating the desired ambiance. Before installing wall lights or highlighting different features, ensure the lights are bright enough. Professionals often recommend 300-800 lumens for this purpose, helping you achieve a subtle glow and texture.
Finally, security and task lights are the brightest, with over 1,200 lumens. The key is matching brightness to function, balancing comfort and safety. If you have a lighting project planned or are looking to improve the quality of your home, choosing the right brightness is crucial. Contact Abulous Lighting to book an appointment with our experts and enjoy well-lit outdoor spaces without exceeding the budget.

Absolute Lighting installed my outdoor flood lights 2 years ago and they are beautiful! They did such a great job that I used them to setup and take down the Christmas lights for the past 2 years. I would highly recommend them. Frank always responds to questions and automatically puts me on the schedule for set up and take down of the Christmas Lights.
We love Abulous lighting and have been using them for years They are very responsive and professional and will come back no questions asked for any follow up work Good pricing and highly trustworthy Frank, the owner, is a true stand up guy. I recommend without reservation
Frank and the team at Abulous were great to work with. They came out and retro-upgraded some previous lighting that we had done a few years back and made it look as seamless and continuous as possible. They also worked with us on the best (& most economical) way to light up a hard to reach area of our yard. They also followed up with us after we had another group of workers "disturb" some of the lighting wires and came back out and fixed everything back up again. Very friendly, dependable local resource who do great work. Highly recommend.
After reviewing multiple companies we contracted with Abilous Lighting to create outside accent lighting for our home, backyard patio, walkways, & fire pit. Their ideas and design were the best! It was a pleasure working with Frank Hasty, who did the design, and his crew of Brandon & Rusty who performed the work. All were excellent to work with. We are very happy with Abulous Lighting.
