What are the benefits of using Brilliance LED lights?

For a more modern setup, you can use the Brilliance Smart app to control the lineup of Brilliance color-changing outdoor lights. In addition, you can also manipulate each bulb’s brightness and even set schedules for even better energy efficiency. Brilliance LED also features a Sector Selector device that allows you to create specific lighting zones in your space for even more control in notable or high-traffic areas.

How long do Brilliance LED bulbs last?

The lineup of Brilliance LED lights has a lifespan ranging between 25,000 and 50,000 hours. However, proper lighting maintenance, precise scheduling, and lower brightness settings all help extend its service life. When putting your outdoor lighting system together, make sure that the total wattage of your lights doesn’t exceed 80 percent of your low-voltage transformer’s capacity for safety and performance purposes.

What’s the difference between low-voltage and line voltage lights?

Line-voltage lighting is the standard voltage used inside homes for indoor appliances and lighting. You can use the same voltage for outdoor lighting, but you’ll need to have a professional electrician conduct the work due to the numerous permits, codes, and safety precautions that come with setting up voltage at this high level. Low-voltage lighting, on the other hand, is more energy efficient and safer to work with due to the low power needed – only 12 volts – to operate each fixture. For outdoor lighting, this is a more cost-effective method due to low power consumption needs and the longevity of LEDs. Even with the low voltage requirements, it’s still important to use safety gear and take precautions during setup and maintenance. You can learn more about the pros and cons of each in our comparison guide.

How effective are solar lights for outdoor lighting?

Solar lights are a great energy-efficient option for outdoor lighting, provided that the bulbs do not consume as much energy during the evening. Most of the “charging” required for the internal battery of a solar-powered fixture occurs during the day when the sun is out. It’s important that the panels used to capture sunlight have the most exposure during the day and that they are free of any dirt and debris that can hinder the process. If you live in an area with plenty of sunlight, consider solar fixtures for your outdoor setup.

Can Brilliance LED lights work with other brands?

Any Brilliance LED light is compatible with any outdoor lighting setup, provided that your existing transformer has the available wattage to accommodate each fixture. Even without the Brilliance Smart app, you might opt for a smart transformer that allows for light dimming and scheduling with compatible products. Nevertheless, the process for upgrading your existing setup with Brilliance LED products is easy, especially when using the right lighting tools.
