Backyard Lighting - Racecourse LED Light?

12/18/2016 10:02 PM

Hi, Anna from CA.

I have a lawn (300*300ft) that requires illumination. Can we use the racecourse LED light in the backyard? Any other recommendations?

I would contact a local electrical contractor for exterior lighting recommendations....There may be restrictions governing your geographic location, and required permitting etc...

Yes, of course you can. That's a large area. Are you thinking of using a single fixture or several fixtures mounted around the edges of the yard (on poles preferably)? If at one location, unless you mount it high up (think stadium lights) the glare will be quite onerous.

Thanks for your comments. I prefer multi-fixture because of the shades.

Actually I am concerning with the water-resistance and durability of the light.

There are outdoor LED lights in all kinds of styles and all made for outdoor use. They all claim to be water-resistant and durable too, which is generally the case as they have to pass certain standards. What is it you actually want to know? Which brand to buy?

Do what Solar Eagle suggested: ask an outdoor-lighting professional. They'd know exactly what to recommend and quite possibly any restrictions that may apply in your area.

I believe that Anna works for a lighting company, as is evident from her first post, ever and her join date, in the Commercial Section.

LED Universe Technology

Maybe I'm wrong, maybe not.

Hmmm.... Interesting.

Thanks Andrew. I am just googling around to see if there is any supplier.

I will look at it.

I recommend that you put this in the commercial section, with your other post.

Then, there's this duplicate question:
