Exterior lighting is essential to create an attractive and safe environment around your home. Whether you are installing lighting to accent your garden, illuminate the driveway or simply for added security, the height of the outdoor lighting is an important consideration. In this blog article we share some tips for determining the correct height for outdoor lighting and thus creating a perfectly lit outdoor space.

Lighting for walkways and driveways

When installing lighting along walkways and driveways, it is important to install the lighting at a height that provides sufficient light and illuminates obstacles. A height of approximately 60 to 100 cm above the ground is ideal to ensure safe passage without the light being too bright or too low.

Atmospheric lighting for gardens and terraces

To create an attractive ambiance in your garden or on the terrace, it is advisable to place outdoor lighting at different heights. Hanging lighting such as lanterns or string lights can be hung at eye level to create a warm and cozy atmosphere. In addition, garden spotlights or ground spotlights can be used to accentuate certain elements in the garden or plants.

Height for security lighting at the front door

For safety at the front door, it is advisable to install an outdoor lamp at a height of approximately 180 cm above the ground. At this height, the field of view is illuminated and you have a sufficient view of who is at the door, without the lighting annoyingly shining into your eyes.

Considerations for installing lighting around windows

If you install lighting around windows, it is important to choose the height carefully. Avoid shining lights directly into the window, as this can be annoying and reduce privacy. Place the lighting at a height that effectively illuminates the environment without shining directly into the window.

Lighting for accents and eye-catchers

When lighting eye-catchers, such as a beautiful tree, work of art or fountain, you can experiment with different heights. For example, aim a ground spotlight at the lower part of the tree to create an upward light effect, beautifully illuminating the tree from the base to the crown.

The perfect height for your outdoor lighting

The height of your outdoor lighting depends on the purpose and location of the lighting. Whether you install lighting for walkways, gardens, the front door or as accent lighting, it is important to determine the correct height for optimal lighting and atmosphere. Take the above tips into account when installing your outdoor lighting to create a beautiful and well-lit outdoor space.
