Blog – LED Landscape Lighting

Made in the USA with all the certifications. You can trust RAB. Here we are about ready to turn another page on the calendar. If you’ve been thinking about a LED lighting project, the time to start is now. We have many LED landscape offerings, but today, we’d like to talk specifically about RAB LED lighting. RAB is top of the line with all the features and certifications you want or need to get your budget approved. UL listing is a given. But if you need the product that is California Title 24 compliant, or Buy American Act compliant, or with LM79 LM80 certificates, those are sometimes more difficult to find. Your search has ended. And although we’re enjoying the warm sunshine this time of year, some of us live in climates that get much colder during the winter months. RAB LED floodlights are built to work and built to last in ambient temperatures as low as -40 degrees F. RAB offers many options. Our customer service team is here to help you sort those out. There are many styles to consider, but for a starting point, we’ll look at the FLED Floodlights. The FLED Floodlights are for the larger jobs such as building facade lighting, sign lighting and instant-on security lighting. A spotlight option is available which is perfect for lighting flag poles or taller trees.

The simplest thing to decide is the colour of the finish. Available to you are black, white, bronze and Verdi green. Next is to decide how much light output you need. This same LED floodlight is available in models that produce 1680, 2900, 4600 or 5500 lumens. Given that a 60W incandescent bulb produces about 800 lumens, this translates into 120, 220, 350 and 410 incandescent watts. As the lumen output rises, so does the cost. So we’ll want to narrow down your choices so that the fixtures you purchase meet your needs as well as your budgetary concerns. What about colour temperature? RAB LED floodlights to come in 3000K warm white, 4000K natural white and 5000K cool white. What kind of lighting are you replacing now? What is the main colour temperature of your surroundings? Do you want warm, cool, or somewhere in between to best compliment your structures? What voltage is available at the site? We have solutions for 120VAC, 277VAC, and even a low voltage LED floodlight suitable for your solar systems. Do you need a photocell or a wire guard? How about a battery backup? We can customise your lighting to your specific needs. RAB LED lighting reduces your energy consumption by up to 85%. That’s the bottom line. With power costs continuing to rise, the payback curve for your investment in LED lighting fixtures decreases with it. So let us help you to put together a complete landscape lighting package to meet your needs and your budget.
