1. LED chip type:

The LED chip type is the core component of the LED light source, and there are two main types: SMD (Surface Mount Device) and COB (Chip on Package). SMD LEDs typically contain multiple small LED chips that provide uniform lighting. They are dispersed throughout the interior of the luminaire, producing a wide light distribution, suitable for illuminating large garden or landscaped areas. COB LED (Chip-on-Board) integrates multiple LED chips into a smaller package with higher light density and is suitable for applications that require high-brightness light sources, such as lighting specific plants or sculptures.

The choice of SMD and COB depends on the specific lighting needs. If uniform lighting is required, SMD is a better choice. Whereas if a more focused beam is required, a COB may be a better fit.

2. Spectral characteristics:

The spectral characteristics of LED garden lights refer to the color and color temperature they emit. Warm color temperature (approximately 2700-3000K) usually creates a warm and comfortable environment, suitable for lighting courtyards or leisure areas at night. Cool color temperatures (approximately 5000-6500K) are better for situations that require brighter lighting and visual clarity, such as lighting walkways or parking areas.

In addition, some LED garden lights have adjustable spectrum characteristics, allowing users to customize light colors according to different scenarios and preferences, increasing the flexibility of lighting.

3. Color Rendering Index (CRI):

CRI is a measure of how accurately a light source renders an object's color. The CRI value of LED garden lights depends on the type of light source, and a high CRI value means that the LED can render colors more accurately. High CRI values are especially important for garden lights because they help improve the visual appeal of plants and landscaping. For example, when appreciating the colors of flowers or enjoying outdoor artworks, LED garden lights with high CRI values can make the colors more vivid and realistic.

4. Luminous way:

The light emitting method refers to the light distribution method of the LED light source. Some LED garden lights use point light sources, linear light sources or diffuse light sources. Point lights typically produce a concentrated beam of light and are great for accentuating specific sights or plants. Linear lights provide more even light and are good for illuminating paths or walls. Diffuse light sources can diffuse the light and make the lighting area wider.

The choice of lighting method should be determined according to the specific landscape design and lighting requirements to ensure that the desired effect is achieved.

5. Energy saving:

Energy efficiency is crucial for LED garden lights as they typically run for long periods of time. Different types of LED light sources vary in terms of energy efficiency. Some LED light sources are more energy efficient than others, which means they reduce energy consumption and reduce your electricity bill. Choosing energy-efficient LED light sources is not only good for the environment, but also helps reduce operating costs.

6. Lifespan:

In the end, the lifespan of LED garden lights depends on the type of light source and the quality of manufacture. LED fixtures are generally known for their longer lifespan and lower maintenance requirements. However, different types of LED light sources may have different lifetimes. For example, COB LEDs typically have longer lifetimes because their thermal management is more effective, helping to extend the lifetime of the LEDs.

Long-life LED garden lights mean less replacement and maintenance costs, which is critical to the sustainability and economy of outdoor lighting systems.
