How to Choose the Best Color Temperature for Your Outdoor Lighting Installation

If you are considering outdoor lighting, you might not know that as well as a choice of different colors, there is also color temperature to consider – most especially if you want white lighting. Most people make the mistake of assuming that all outdoor lighting is the same when it comes to levels of brightness and different hues or that it depends on the wattage of bulbs used, but the truth is that there is a huge variety in this area. If you are about to embark on your own outdoor lighting installation project, then here are some insights into how to choose the best color temperature for the atmosphere you want to create. 

Warm White

Warm landscape lighting is a great choice for garden spaces where you want to create a really ambient and warm atmosphere. The color that is created evokes a comfortable and inviting environment for places like patios and decks where you are going to be doing a lot of hosting that draws out into the evening.

Natural White

Natural white lighting provides a slightly crisper, clearer kind of illumination, and it is often recommended as the best choice for anybody who wants to highlight any specific architectural features in their garden. It has also been celebrated as a good kind of lighting to emphasize the green of the plants and flowers in your garden, hence the ‘natural’ adjective.

Cool White

Cool lights are the kinds of lights that people associate most with the notion of security and safety. If you are concerned with visibility in your garden and want to make sure that it is as protected as it can be, then cool light actually appears to be brighter than the other options. Interestingly, it can also have something of a moonlight effect because real moonlight has the same sort of bluish tint to it.

What Kinds Of Lighting Is Available?

Once you have selected the kind of color temperature that you want, the only thing that is left to do is make the decisions about what and where you want your lighting setup to be. There is a wide range of options that includes things like spotlights, flood lights, well lights, string lights, path lights, and hardscape lights, all of which have their own unique charm and can bring a lot of style and personality to a previously unlit outdoor space. With the correct color temperature and the right style of lighting in place, your garden can be completely transformed in the best ways possible.
