  • More About Shielding

    If you can see the bulb from the side, the fixture is not fully-shielded. The shield should completely cover the bulb target light to only where it is needed.

    Ceiling-mounted, recessed, or "can lights" and lights completely hidden by eaves do not require shielding. Pathway lights that do not exceed 12 lumens do not need to be shielded. 2-3 watt led bulbs with warm color (2700K) work well for pathways. 

  • Recommended Bulbs

    For outdoor home lighting, Dark Sky International recommends 450 lumens in brightness and 2700K in temperature. Bulbs should not be brighter than 800 lumens and 3000K.
