There are so many different types of lighting you can install outside your home, but if you’re smart you’ll go for LED lighting because it conserves energy and doesn’t throw off as much heat. Better yet, there are tons of options out there with built-in solar panels so you don’t have to run any wires or fuss with batteries. Here, we’ve rounded up three different options for LED outdoor lighting you’ll love.

Best Motion Lights

Motion-activated lighting is a must-have for the exterior of any house. Leaving lights on all night long is wasteful, so motion lights provide a great way to illuminate your property without being wasting resources. On top of that, a simple motion light can mean the difference between getting burglarized and scaring off a would-be robber. URPOWER Waterproof Motion Sensor Solar Lights are the best and brightest lights we’ve tested, and they’re solar powered so you never have to worry about changing batteries.

Best Solar Landscape Lights

If you’ve ever priced out landscape lighting, you know how ridiculously expensive it can be. Instead of paying hundreds or even more than $1,000 for a landscaper to install wired lighting around your home, check out the LITOM 12 LED Solar Landscape Spotlights. These spotlights are as bright or even brighter than wired lighting, and they’re solar powered so you can install them anywhere in seconds without having to worry about running wires.

Best Dusk-to-Dawn Bulbs

For the lamps around the outside of your home and on your front and back porches, there’s always a struggle to figure out the best way to get your lights to automatically turn on at night and off again in the morning. Should you pay an electrician to run everything to a transformer with a timer in your basement? Should you pay for smart light bulbs and a hub? Those are both fine options, but here’s another one that’s significantly less expensive: pick up a pack of Philips LED Dusk-to-Dawn Light Bulbs. These high-quality LED bulbs have built-in ambient light sensors that turn the lights on when the sun goes down and then back off again when it comes up. If you can screw in a light bulb, you can install these great bulbs.
