Reddit mentions: The best landscape lighting & accessories

I bought the floodlight.


After getting a wired POE stickup cam for the back yard, I saw the huge difference in video and night vision quality between the stick up cam wired - not wireless - vs my Floodlight cam.
I figured buying the Ring Floodlight with the bridge was a good option since it could integrate with Ring, and had some better features than basic ones on Amazon around 20-35 bucks that only did cold white light. I bought the Floodlight, was happy with the results, bought another POE stick up for the front of the house, and gave the floodlight camera away. I wouldn't suggest buying their floodlight cam until it at least gets the same image sensor that the Stick Up Cam wired has. It really is that much worse.


Keep in mind, I only bought the Ring Smart floodlight because I had an electrical box already in place. The only other reason I would recommend investing in Ring is you're super big into the cooler automation stuff, and have the property size to utilize it. I do not have the size, nor really the need for the integration. But, I have the bridge + floodlight combo to bring to a future house or use if I change my mind later.


I found a nice set of Solar lights for $50 on amazon that I'd rather have and save some money on. They're plenty bright for a walkway, look nicer IMO, and won't need batteries replaced anywhere near as often. We've had them for 3 months without issue.


For my back yard, I found this cheap battery powered light, much cheaper than Ring's options. Does the job well, I am happy with it.


For porch lights, stair lights, spotlights, etc, there are plenty of cheap, simple motion sensing options out there on Amazon for far less money. Only pay the premium if you really care about owning smart lights, whose main purpose is to have a Ring camera record if they see something. The Stick Up cam already records what I want to record, so I'm happy without.

yeah theres a debate about hedges ... either you plant sticker bushes that are really nasty or you trim them low so they can hide behind them when a car goes by

this is a pretty small light that has motion and on off at dusk dawn
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00002NAMH

Lowes and walmart sell that exact light under different names.. it is small .. there is a larger version and other styles .. but its good to have a light that turns on automatically when someone approaches your doors.

I actually have to replace a couple myself.. hard to find good ones that are sealed on all sides so they can't unscrew the bulb easily..

also you can get these solar motion floodlights so you don't have to run electrical .. just a couple screws to mount it and it just works all the time..

https://www.amazon.com/ANKO-1000Lumen-Adjustable-Waterproof-Security/dp/B075LPCTBK/

good luck .. just be aware .. talk with your neighbors if they are friendly .. be cool to them... don't roll into the neighborhood with your music blasting or blast it at night.. keep the parties quiet..

help an older neighbor do stuff around their home and they will be the best security camera you can get.. :o)

Hi, I always get pretty sick of winter by February. I'm in Oregon. I really like to build things too, but I know what you mean about the season putting a damper on it. In winter, I like to bake, do simple design embroidery on kids clothes or hats, sketch, play guitar. My sister started doing jigsaw puzzles at night when she can't sleep. She says it helps put her mind to rest and wind down.

On amazon they have cool tiny solar electric lantern tops. You could get a model building sized miter saw and maybe build some cool little solar lanterns to give away as gifts? That's something I've been meaning to do. (Those say gutter lights, but work great if you just don't use the little gutter hanger attachment)

Congrats on 4 days! I will not drink with you today. :)

I actually just bought a bunch of different options to test with, here are my thoughts.
To me of the bunch I tested, you have 3 types:

1. Decorative
   
2. Pathway Lighting
   
3. Spotlighting/floodlighting
   
   You don't need #1 for your goals.
   2 is good for just getting around from place to place. Lots of people say that they are 'super bright' and they use them as a floodlight, but they are not remotely comprable to a larger floodlight.
   I bought the items linked for 2 and 3 and like both, but they are totally different for use case.
   I consider the smaller items pathway lighting because they really aren't super bright. I had them on my deck and felt like they were just bright enough to see the deck... if I was a burglar it'd be light enough to see what I was doing, but not enough to deter me.
   The spotlight is bright. Not as bright as a wired solution (at least not this model) but it is bright, and abrupt. This is the solution that to me conveys 'I see you. Stop what you are doing.'
   You talk about not being 'overly bright'. I do not consider the item I linked for 3 as overly bright.
   I believe it's ~300 lumens and is directional (it is pretty focused where you point it).
   Also, depending on where you live, I found that Harbor Freight sales an identical item to the sunforce product linked, but at a lower cost. Link
   With a coupon I think I got a handful of these for like $25, and as mentioned, I'm 90% certain they are the exact same product as the sunforce item, just rebranded (they have different stickers on them but everything else is IDENTICAL... on the outside at least).

Your pathway to the door is an interesting angular pattern but I think the placement of the rocks and the curved bed in the foreground distract from the path as a feature.

My thoughts:

Clear area enclosed by the pathway and driveway of weeds. Move all the rocks (including those right at the back corner of the picture) to this area and arrange them in a pleasing way. Fill the enclosed area with light colored stones (1 - 1 1/2 inch stones). Use of a weed barrier is up to you. Maybe check with the neighbors whether it is needed in your area.

Get rid of the concrete edging pieces completely. Weed and prepare the area of the bed this side of the pathway and then reseed or sod the area. Now the lawn creates a clean contrast with the pathway on one side and the stones do the same on the other.

For fun, add low solar lights to illuminate the pathway - not the lights on a stick - think the size of small rocks. Maybe something like this or this.

Plant something taller and more interesting in the bed in the far back corner where the rocks were removed.

This will create a more formal entrance space for your house and reduce the maintenance with a lot less weeding.

Good luck!

Before we get to the tips, I think my best advice would be to formulate a plan. This is the style you want. This is the furniture you need eventually If you can't afford it all at once, don't fret over it. Use what you got but continue to put a few bucks away here and there and save up for what you want.

As to actual tips


Tip 1) The smaller the coffee table, the better. This one is gigantic and takes up too much space in an already small room. I would consider a chest instead of a coffee table maybe. Work with what you can find, but you don't need something as massive as this. This dude's coffee table is made for a big as great room. Not a 1 room apartment.

Tip 2) NO FREAKING CHRISTMAS LIGHTS ON THE WALLS. If you like Christmas lights as a room aesthetic, get a fake ficus tree and a string of 50 lights and use the ficus like a christmas tree. If you want accent lighting but don't want twinkle lights, get floor uplight cans and stick them in the corners. There are also small aimable spotlights you can put on the floor to uplight art or framed posters you have on the walls

Tip 3) Paint. A fresh coat of paint does wonders. And don't cheap out either. Get the top of the line paint/primer one coat paint. Its a little more expensive but it goes on easier and looks better.

Tip 4) Don't have as much bookshelf space as this guy. One of them is almost completely unused. The trick to making a living/sleeping space work is to store as much out of eyesight as possible.

So if you need some storage, get a TV stand that is a buffet cabinet. This gives you closed cabinet storage. Our accumulated clutter is better behind closed doors than out in the open.

Tip 5) use available storage to the maximum. See how this guy has storage space on top of his kitchen cabinets that he is not using? Use that space.

Ideally I'd be able to adjust the color / RGB

I guess the main issue I'm running into is finding a nice little shade or can that I can put the LED light in on the floor, so that it looks nice.

Actually, it hadn't occurred to me that there were color changing LED "bulbs" that fit into regular sockets. Brainfart there I guess. I looked at phillips hue bulbs and thats definitely pricier than I want. Maybe something like this: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B01A85LTQU?psc=1 though I'd prefer more like $15 or $20 per bulb.

Then I suppose I could just put it into something like this: http://amzn.com/B0000DI4D8 for the effect I want

Any other better recommendations for the bulb or "can" fixtures?

I have about 4 different locations with these LED strip lighting. I use Cat 6 cable to do the runs. For example many of my LED strips are RGBW so you need 5 wires to make them work. Well cat 6 or even 5 as you know has 8 wires nice solid core stuff that is easy to solder. I've even contemplated using a patch panel as a DC distribution point and using RJ connector but have not done that yet since I'm pretty much done adding LEDs. BTW old desktop power supplies make great 12 volt power sources. As a controllers I use this with my Veralite system.

I'd run some 12 volt tot he kitchen for sure for under cabinet lights. Stair ways are also a nice touch

I bought one of these to install above my garage, works great. Not as bright as normal flood lights but plenty bright enough to see what I'm doing and light my path around the garage to the back door.

Should be able to mount to a post pretty easily. There's about 15ft or so of wire between the light panel and the solar panel, so the solar panel could be mounted some distance from the light, if desired.

Probably not what you're looking for, but I can vouch for these. They're strong for a solar powered light, but not really suited for a path, more for lighting up trees or objects. I have them on top of my retaining wall shooting down, but I still had to make a holder for them that looked good. And you have to have a place to hide the solar panel that still gets sun. Again, not really for path but you talked about sprucing up the front yard, so if you want a good accent light, these work.

Hopefully someone has a rec. for a good path light, because there's a lot of lousy ones out there. Don't go too cheap, they're just dim and don't really do anything.

Here is the LED

Here is the driver

Any help on keeping these things cool would be appreciated. Is there a better sub reddit for this kind of question?

EDIT: yes the date is not set correctly on the camera.

>I really wanna say that even with 100% efficiency that solar panel would not be able to give 240 V AC (guessing that's a European plug) and provide the current for any appliance.

Power output is measured in watts, not volts/current. Watts = Volts x Current. The one in the picture is pretty thick, could fit a decent number of capacitors or rechargeable cells.

>I would actually love these if they were only lights that could take in light during the day for night time lighting.

That you could do today. http://www.amazon.com/Garden-Creations-JB5629-Solar-Powered-Accent/dp/B002X8X8UG/ref=lp_553784_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1368185695&sr=1-4

Not a pro by any stretch of the imagination, just a homeowner. But I'm guessing that if one has gone, the others will follow soon. How much lighting do you have? Have you considered replacing with solar? We've used stuff like this from Amazon and some larger-profile but similar lumens LED lights from Costco. I'd follow some of the reviewers' advice to use old garden hose to protect the thin wires from errant weedwhackers and such, but they've lasted in the mild PNW winters, and mostly give light until the wee hours of the morning, all night if the PV panel is in the brightest areas. One set has been out there for 2.5 years. Maintenance has been occasional clearing off leaves from the PV panel and repositioning lights when we moved some plantings.

Walmart & Amazon sell them. Some have AA batteries, some have 18650, which are 4.5v batteries, though the driver typically steps that down. The walkway and "candle"-type lights seem to have AA batteries, while the motion detector light types have 18650 cells.

The motion sensor could even be used to trigger a cheap Z-wave switch. I recall one mfr selling tiny, square switches (maybe Zigbee?) for $5-6. (Like the Xiaomi Aqara) ...A little cleverness with a Raspberry Pi and some Amazon Dash buttons would do it as well. Or an XBee board.

Here are the sort of 18650 lights I've purchased. Amazon has nearly constant deal-of-the-day "sales" on these. I wouldn't pay more than around $8-9 for one like this.

Another possibility is getting the components on eBay or aliexpress, straight from China.

Solar lights, like to light your walk way, something like these and some solar lights for your tent (outside) so you can easily spot it. These string lights would look cool on the outside, and would help with lighting your area when its dark.

It's for my stepdad and myself as a project. We enjoy the engineering aspect of it, even though we could probably buy something as good if not better. I had my eye one one of these after watching this video. Clearly 1 won't be as bright as the 10 those guys used, but like I said, we just do it for the fun of the problem solving and engineering.

The only thing that makes me suspicious is the lack of detail on the amount of lumens it puts out, specifics on the type of LED, etc. Apparently they also work as a phone charger.. I don't know where I would get an adapter for my specific phone, but I could always make one if need be.

And this whole 3rd world charity thing.. ok, I can live with that I guess.

I have been playing around with these for a similar usage.

They are one LED lights (no idea what type of LED unfortunately) and typically run off 2 AA batteries that are recharged from the solar panel on top of the light. I've been removing the AA's and wiring in old mobile phone batteries. I then epoxy the lamp + battery onto the inside of a mason jar lid and affix the panel on the outside. So you wind up with a very similar light, just no where near as slick and pretty.

They were handy when the power was out for an extended period though!

I'm a big fan of the company Mr. Beams. I have this light which does a great job at illuminating an entire staircase mounted on the wall near the top step. But I have two young dogs. For an older dog you'd probably want to put a few down the staircase.

A family member has this one which works really well for them on their outside steps.

To add,

This lantern is super light and super bright. Unfortunately you'll need sunlight to power it.

Get a mirror, as large as will fit, and hang it on the wall opposite the window. That'll reflect any light coming in the window and make the room sunnier.

Look for some uplights similar to this one that you can put on the floor and tuck away behind furniture or plants. Put full-spectrum light bulbs in those and in any lamps you have which the bulbs, which are taller than normal, will fit in without looking ridiculous.

I appreciate your input, I might have to take you up on that offer! I've been looking at LED options, and the CREE's you linked are my ideal, but I don't want to risk frying a $50 LED while still figuring it out. I found these on Amazon for about $10 a piece, so I think I'll pick up a few of those and start messing around with them and see what I can do.

I also came across this video that is doing exactly what I was aiming for, so there's at least some hope for me! Now to figure out the MOSFET and power supply

And yeah, I'm not looking for perfect color accuracy, I may attempt something with RGB to avoid the phosphor, but even with the phosphor after glow, I don't think it'll be that much of a difference in the final image, but thats something to deal with later on.

It will surely help a good bit and its a nice project.
I actually meant just that besides the cheap part haha. You can use these(first I found on amazon) 6-6500k and these 2800-3000k chips I believe they use the same drivers and their 20, 30, 50, and 100w versions are all 5x4.5cm and you can run two 100w at 25% and make them last a long time, as well as 2 50w at 50% and so on. Id say 6-6500k has enough red but I get that and the cost thing, I dont know how big the sink is but I guess you have at least15x15cm to work with.

I purchased these and have been very pleased. I like the ability to place the panel separately from the lights and concealing the cord was easy enough. They also held up after an extremely harsh winter.

I've been looking for something similar. We don't have any outlets in our upstairs hallway. They make battery operated motion sensor lights. I hate changing batteries but I imagine led bulbs are pretty efficient. I haven't bought any yet so I can't make a specific recommendation but here is one idea.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00196WS6S?pc_redir=1395473687&robot_redir=1

I am using FLS-PP with this strip - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HBMN4YO?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s01

I also have the new Philips Hue Strip.

Besides being cheaper when you have lengths of 5m or so, the FLS-PP with this light strip produces much better bright colors. It is hard to describe, but while Philips Hue strip produces nice deep dark colors, it's brighter colors look washed out compared to the custom setup.

There is another slight minus of Philips Hue Strip, it's power adapter is producing a slight noise. Something you will never notice in a living room, but might be annoying if you will place it in the bedroom.

I just installed the Sunforce 82080. IT seemed to get great reviews...
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FDQPCR2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
A few things i noticed about it the past few days.

• the light is decent and goes about 15-20 feet pretty well
  
• you can adjust the sensitivity (It's touchy... cars driving by were activating mine)
  
• Make sure u place the solar panel where it can get the best light its got a long cable for that.
  
• it needs sunlight so if you live in seattle it may die quickly. If it goes completely dead you have to turn it off then let it charge for a few days.
  
  
  I hope this helps. I did a lot of research because I don't have power routed to where I wanted it (We had our car broken into...)

There are a bunch of styles out there, but these seem pretty solid for wall-mounting: http://www.amazon.com/Beams-MB393-300-Lumen-Weatherproof-Spotlight/dp/B00BCCNZ7K/ref=cm_cd_ql_qh_dp_t
and then there are always the push-in solar pathway lights.

Accent floor lights have the added benefit of lighting the wall and ceiling.

As for the corner, I agree arc lights are the way to go. Check out this one With multiple heads you could aim one or two at the ceiling

i did not see the rating on the Amazon listing for the one i got https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CZ75TWA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1

but if you are intrested in some high CRI goodness this company http://store.yujiintl.com/collections/frontpage/products/bc-series-cob-400hs?utm_campaign=DIYPerks&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=YouTube&variant=488243521
makes a high quality remote phosphor chip.

First, even though those are listed as waterproof, it is IP65 and it says not to soak/submerge in water. Not sure what your plans are there.

That aside, I think the general guidance is that these strips are limited to about 10-15m (2-3 strips) of length before the voltage drop is too much since the conductors in each strip is very tiny. If you are intending to run 30 m long, you may need to use separate 10m lengths with thicker conductor supplies running with the strip.

I recommend you ask the seller what the rating is for max number of strips that can be put into a single run. I would also ask what the wattage per 5m strip is for the RGBW. That will tell you if your power supply will have enough. I couldn't find it in the listing.

My bigger concern would be that a long parallel run at 50A might be a very hot cable and those strips may not be able to handle it (don't know the actual current draw because we don't know per strip max wattage). You might want to do a parallel/series arrangement to bump the voltage to 24V or 36V so you can cut the current by half or two thirds and use smaller conductors. There are similar power supplies in 24V/25A/600W and 36V/16A/600W configurations on amazon if you search.

​

For example, this similar strip of RGBW on amazon (not waterproof tho):

https://www.amazon.com/LEDENET-Bright-Flexible-Lights-Lighting/dp/B00HBMN4YO

Says per 5m roll: 5A draw, 12VDC, 60W per 5m

The question/answer section says no more than 2 strips in parallel long run.

If you were to take this example and just connect 6 strips, 30A total at 12VDC for a total of 360W. 30A seems like a lot of current. You would need 7 AWG cable to carry that which is 3.6mm thick (conductor without sheath). If you were making a tight array in a square light panel, you could get away with chassis current rating of 14 AWG but that is still pretty thick.

​

EDIT: If you already bought some of these strips and have them. You could use a bench power supply to find out exactly how much current each strip draws when 12VDC is supplied them.

I'd suggest trying to make an existing solar powered system work instead of building one from scratch. I've got this relatively inexpensive solar powered LED spot set up in my shed (motion detection and all) and it works great.

>The problem is this switch activates randomly even when the door is closed.

Is this a major problem?

A better solution would be a sensor on the door for when it's opened. You would need a hub though.

Or maybe just use motion lights like this:

https://smile.amazon.com/Mr-Beams-Wireless-Battery-Operated-Motion-Sensing/dp/B00196WS6S

For a single light which is used infrequently, have you considered getting a solar powered light? Something like this? That's cheaper than 240' of romex already. You could probably DiY an actual halogen flood light with a solar panel and car battery for less than $150 as well.

If you have one of these jugs, you're probably car camping. Just bring a lantern!

If you're backpacking, these are pretty silly to carry. Buy a luminaid or a luci. If you buy through their sites, you can even donate a lamp to folks in need.

I think the TN4A will do you fine. It's just that I already own some D-cell powered motion detector lights, those would let me use Eneloops in them instead of D-cells.

Although to be fair the factory D-cells it came with are doing just fine.

Out of curiosity, because I'm looking for a cheap alternative too... Why did you suggest the AliExpress over Amazon ones such as this:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HBMN4YO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_RZhEyb38FXN1R

Also, do you need to purchase a power supply with either led product?

Thanks!

Knowing that there is no electricity at the campsite.. SOLAR POWER!!

At least thats what we did last year, and it worked great! We had little driveway lights all around our campsite so finding it at night would be easy. They were something like these http://www.amazon.com/Garden-Creations-JB5629-Solar-Powered-Accent/dp/B002X8X8UG/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1426870944&sr=8-2&keywords=solar+powered+lights

And now I've discovered that amazon even has solar powered string lights! How cool would these be at your campsite?: http://www.amazon.com/INST-Powered-Ambiance-Lighting-Christmas/dp/B00KGOCRLA/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1426870944&sr=8-3&keywords=solar+powered+lights

Been happy with it. I dont need to do any wiring and I dont need to deal with batteries.

One other thing I thought of: You might want to deploy some motion activated lights in the less traveled areas outside of your home so that they get lit up when prowling around. Thatt's often enough to send them elsewhere.

The "Mr Beams" line of battery operated floodlights works pretty well and run on 4 D batteries. They stay on for a short period, and will reactivate if there is still motion sensed. No power connection needed. There is also a wireless version that talk to each other, so that when one light is triggered, all of them come on. (https://smile.amazon.com/Beams-MB393-300-Lumen-Weatherproof-Spotlight/dp/B00BCCNZ7K/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1487012780&sr=8-3&keywords=mr+beams)

The only down side I've seen with these lights is that they can be a little slow to trigger, or sometimes don't trigger when the temps here are consistently over about 112 degrees. I think the heat overrides the thermal sensor that would normally pick up a body moving.

LOHAS 100W LED Chip Cool White Bulb High Power Energy Saving Lamp Chip https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CZ75TWA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_H5GZBbRSHCE63

depends on what you want to do?

i love the blooms for the form factor, they seem to blend in much nicer with decor and are really unobtrusive, but are decidedly angled to shoot light onto a wall. in my media room, i have a few bulbs in uplight cans since it directs the light differently and is easy to hide on the floor in corners.

If you want some chonk LEDs, get some of these chinese ones. They aren't very good if you plan on dimming them, but for max brightness they make a lot of light.

I use one of these. It will last all night and then hang it outside for the day and bring it back in at night. I was surprised at how much light it put out.

chs: got one of these kicking around at nsl http://www.amazon.com/LOHAS%C2%AE-White-Power-Energy-Saving/dp/B00CZ75TWA#productDetails

They are $5 cheaper on Amazon.

Either led flashlight modules or those 100w modules. Based on space I'd guess 100w modules.

You could look into how solar-powered garden lights work. They charge during the day, and then turn the lights on at night.

Ok, so fine... great idea... give Africa light. No problem there.

But really? $15?

You can buy a set of 8 solar garden lights for $17.38 on Amazon.

Maybe they aren't too reliable (though the comments aren't all that bad, really), but even if only 1/4 of them last, they're still quite a bit cheaper.

I'd suggest calling and electrician. They will do it correctly and you won't have any issues. It's not hard to do but it's not easy either. You can get around this by going to home depot or Lowes and buy a solar powdered led light. The solar cell mounts high and recharges a battery. As you approach the light it sense and turns the light on.

Get a solar powered garden light like these. Remove the rechargeable battery and the solar cell. Connect them using a low Vf diode such as the SB140 (thru hole) or the PMEG2010 (surface mount). Attach an LED flasher circuit made with an LM3909 IC, available from eBay. Done

I wouldn't even touch the dispute. That's up for mediation or police.

I would only focus on things possibly related to your property. One might be:

> fruits smashed against the back of her house, back of house being egged several times, and things being thrown at the back of her house in the middle of the night and waking her up, frightening her.

I just put one of these on a rental and it ended some late night vandalism in that area

You can also check your gates and fences to make sure they lock and are secure.
