Frequently Asked Questions About Outdoor Lights

What is outdoor lighting?

Outdoor lighting transforms exterior spaces into functional and enchanting environments. Our professional-grade landscape lighting solutions combine technical precision with artistic design to illuminate pathways (with 100-200 lux illumination), highlight architectural features, and create safe, inviting outdoor living areas. The White Teak Company's systems are engineered to withstand seasonal changes while enhancing your property's nighttime beauty and security.

How are outdoor lights different from indoor lights?

Our exterior lighting fixtures meet rigorous IP65-68 waterproof ratings, featuring marine-grade stainless steel hardware and tempered glass diffusers. Unlike indoor lights, they incorporate UV-resistant finishes that prevent color fading, thermal-regulated LED drivers for temperature extremes (-30°C to 50°C), and corrosion-proof electrical components. The durable construction ensures years of maintenance-free operation in monsoons, coastal air, or desert climates.

What types of outdoor light fixtures are there?

We offer three specialized lighting categories:
Task Lighting: Path lights (30-40cm height, 4000K) with precise beam control
Ambient Lighting: Post lanterns (1.2-1.8m height, 2700K) for soft perimeter glow
Accent Lighting: Adjustable spotlights (10°-60° beams) for architectural highlighting
Each is available in coordinated collections for design continuity throughout your landscape.

What's the ideal brightness for outdoor spaces?

We recommend layered lighting with varying intensities:
- Entryways: 100-150 lux for welcoming ambiance
- Pathways: 50-75 lux for safe navigation
- Architectural features: 200+ lux for dramatic effect
Our lighting designers create custom lux plans using photometric software for perfect illumination balance.
