Energy-Saving Outdoor Lighting to Lower Your Power Bill

Have you hesitated about setting up your outdoor lights how you'd like for fear of raising your power bills? Thankfully, today, we have LED low voltage outdoor lighting products. These beautiful and functional outdoor lights put you in control because now you can set up your lights the way you want, and run them for a fraction of what non-LEDs cost. That’s great because with these energy-efficient outdoor lights you can be free to create the light arrangements you’ve dreamed about.

How Outdoor Lighting Impacts Your Energy Bill

Did you know that across the country, the average utility bill increase in the last year, according to the US Energy Information Administration, spans 6.5–36%? Now is the perfect time to switch to energy efficient outdoor lights like outdoor LED lighting. LEDs, combined with smart controls like timers or motion sensors, can reduce energy usage by up to 80% compared to traditional lighting. 

Switch to LED Low Voltage Outdoor Lighting

Low-voltage LEDs operate at 12–24 volts, while standard systems use 120 volts. LEDs give you the bright, high-quality light you want and don’t contribute significantly to your power bill.

Benefits of Low Voltage LED

  • Outdoor LED lighting uses much less energy than incandescent bulbs. A 10-watt LED bulb can emit the same light as a 60-watt incandescent bulb.
  • LEDs typically last 25,000–50,000 hours, as verified by industry standards (laboratory tests and ENERGY STAR ratings).
  • LEDs emit minimal heat, making them safer for households with kids or pets. Unlike halogens, which can reach scalding temperatures, LEDs remain cool to the touch.
  • LED spotlights (outdoor rated types) are ideal for highlighting specific features like trees or sculptures.
  • Outdoor path lighting, LED style, provides soft, even illumination for walkways.
  • Outdoor LED flood lights offer powerful, wide-ranging light for security purposes.

Low voltage LEDs can help you maintain a balance of performance, safety, and cost savings, making them a vital tool for energy-efficient lighting design.

Smart Design: Use the Right Fixture for the Right Purpose

To reduce energy waste, you can use the concept of layered lighting. This combines several fixtures so you get focused, efficient illumination. Try these tips to arrange your lights for top functionality and energy savings:

  • LED spotlights, outdoor style, are perfect for focusing on architectural details, garden areas, fountains, walls, and more. Their narrow beams reduce wasted light.
  • Outdoor path lighting, LED type, creates a soft, welcoming glow for walkways, driveways, or garden paths. You’ll get sufficient coverage with minimal wattage.
  • Outdoor LED flood lights are best for security. They can light large areas like yards or entryways. Pairing them with motion sensors ensures they only activate when needed.
  • Layering combines spotlights, path lights, and flood lights to create a balanced lighting design. You can avoid over-lighting and reduce energy consumption. 

To save even more energy, add timers, dimmers, or smart controls to round out your lighting scheme.
