Outdoor lights are hard to get right, but at a time when we’re spending more time at home than usual, finding the right one can have a huge impact.
Start by considering the purpose of the light. Is it a security light, or one which you’ll use to illuminate certain areas? A growing number of lights have PIR (passive infrared) sensors, which mean they’ll turn on when motion is detected nearby. But don’t make the mistake of assuming this feature is only worth considering if you’re looking for security purposes – it’s a versatile feature which can prove invaluable, providing targeted illumination without the need to grope around in the dark for a switch.
