Different colors are suitable for different sections of your outdoor space. However, warm white lights, which appear yellow on the Kelvin scale at 2700k or 3000k, are ideal for most areas. Meanwhile, natural cool white lights at 4000k provide effective illumination for certain architectural and/or landscape features, ensuring clear visibility in the dark.

Typically, solar lights are dimmer compared to LED lights and may not maintain brightness throughout the entire night, making them less effective and unsuitable for security and safety lighting purposes. On the other hand, LED outdoor lights provide a more consistent and brighter light, with minimal maintenance over the years, making them a long lasting investment for your home.
