In this blog, we have some tips for you so you know what lights are out there and what to look for. And we tell you some important things you need to know about spotlights in the garden.

The difference between a garden spotlight and a ground spotlight

Ground spots and garden spots differ from each other in a number of ways. A garden spot is generally easy to install. Another name for garden spot is pin spot. Characteristically, these are almost always placed above the ground. Because these garden spotlights are directional, you can place them almost anywhere in the garden to highlight exactly what you want.

A recessed ground spot gives a luxurious look to your garden because they usually have a stainless steel cover. A characteristic of these spotlights is that they are placed completely in the ground. With a ground spot, it is important that you think carefully about what you want to illuminate. You cannot adjust the spotlights once they are in the ground. There are adjustable garden ground spots but they will be a bit pricier and also have limited capabilities.

What LED spotlight do I need for lighting a tree?

Each LED spotlight lists the number of Lumens, as well as the light color and wattage. The number of Lumen indicates how much light a bulb provides. The wattage gives a reasonable indication of brightness, but the number of Lumen is leading. In addition, you also have the light color, which is shown in Kelvin. The lower the number is, the warmer or yellower the light is. Lamps with 2700 Kelvin are the most popular. This is because they give warm and atmospheric light.

Ground spots or garden spots?

In principle, it does not matter whether you use a garden spot or a ground spot for lighting trees. The garden spot is easier to place in practice, but if you are going for a luxurious look then a ground spot is the ideal solution.
