Outdoor Lighting Buying Guide

How do I choose the right outdoor lighting?

Start by identifying the purpose of your lighting. Do you need to improve safety, provide security, highlight landscaping or create a relaxing outdoor atmosphere? Choosing the correct type of fitting for each area will help achieve the best balance of functionality and style.

Outdoor lighting is suitable for many areas around your home, including:

• Front Entrances

• Driveways

• Pathways

• Gardens

• Patios

• Decks

• Outdoor Dining Areas

Layering different types of outdoor lighting creates a safer and more attractive exterior.

• IP44 – Suitable for covered outdoor areas.

• IP54–IP65 – Recommended for exposed locations where fittings may be affected by rain or dust.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best lighting for a front entrance?

Outdoor wall lights positioned beside or above the entrance are one of the most popular choices. Combining these with pathway lighting creates a welcoming and well-lit entry.

Which IP rating should I choose?

The correct IP rating depends on where the light will be installed. Covered areas generally require a lower rating than fully exposed locations. Always select a fitting suitable for the installation environment.

Are LED outdoor lights energy efficient?

Yes. LED outdoor lighting uses significantly less electricity than traditional lighting while providing excellent brightness and a long operating life.

Can outdoor lights be installed near the sea?

Yes, but coastal environments can be more corrosive due to salt in the air. We recommend choosing products specifically designed or finished for coastal conditions and maintaining them regularly to help preserve their appearance.

Are outdoor lights suitable for use with sensors?

Many outdoor lights are compatible with motion sensors, daylight sensors or smart lighting systems. Please refer to the individual product specifications for compatibility.

Do your outdoor lighting products meet New Zealand electrical standards?

Yes. All outdoor lighting sold by Eden Lighting is independently tested and certified to meet NZ/AU standards, and we hold all applicable SDoC and compliance documentation required under New Zealand law.
