Outdoor Lighting(9+)
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the best outdoor lights for a patio?
For ambiance, LED String Lights (often called Bistro or Café lights) are the most popular choice. Our string lights are ideal because they use shatterproof acrylic bulbs and are linkable up to 750 feet, making them safe for high-traffic patio areas.
How many lumens do I need for landscape lighting?
It depends on the purpose: Path Lights: 100–200 lumens provide enough light to see the walkway without being blinding. Security/Flood Lights: 700–2,000+ lumens are best for illuminating large areas for safety. Accent/Spotlights: 150–300 lumens are perfect for highlighting trees or walls.
How long do solar lights stay at night?
Most high-quality solar lights from Sam's Club, like our path lights, are designed to run for 8 to 10 hours on a full charge (typically 6–8 hours of direct sunlight).
Are LED outdoor lights better than incandescent?
Yes. LEDs use up to 90% less energy and can last up to 50,000 hours. This means fewer bulb changes and lower electricity bills. Additionally, LED string lights stay cool to the touch, making them safer for use around kids, pets, and outdoor fabrics.
