When choosing the different outdoor lights for your home or business, it is especially important to look at things like the quality of materials used to make the light. Style cannot be your only focus because these lights will be going through extreme temperature and elements changes like rainstorms, snowstorms, and even heat waves. If low quality materials are used to make the lights there is no chance that they will stand the test of time outside and in most cases, you will see paint chipping, glass cracking, wires eroding, and permanent staining. It is important to understand that sometimes things happen and even the highest quality outdoor lights eventually have issues. Therefore, it is extremely important to make sure that your outdoor lights have a good warranty policy, as most warranties will allow for issues to be solved quite easily. One of the manufacturers that we deal with “Artcraft Lighting” just updated their outdoor lighting warranty policy to make it so that it covers the products 25 YEARS after purchase. This warranty is so good that we just had to share so continue reading on if you want to learn about one of the better outdoor lighting warranty policies in the industry.

As lighting technology is advancing, the amount of different LED offerings has grown quite expansively. From long-lasting LED’s to extremely bright LED’s, each LED bulb or module serves a direct purpose. Originally the only way you could make a fixture LED was if you put LED bulbs into that fixture. Now, lighting manufacturers are incorporating integrated LED modules that are built directly into the fixture. Whether you purchase LED bulbs or a fixture with integrated LED modules, the LED has an average rated life, which is the number of hours on average that the bulb should last. This number of hours varies depending on the technology of the LED as well as the electrical specs of the LED, such as wattage.

Most people don’t realize when purchasing a ceiling fan, that ceiling fan only comes with a 6” downrod or smaller. All houses do not have the same ceiling heights so it is important to know your ceiling heights when purchasing a ceiling fan so that you can also purchase an accompanying downrod which will allow the fan to be hung at optimal height. National coding standards make it so that a Ceiling Fan cannot hang lower than 7’. The optimal hanging height for maximum airflow with ceilings that are at least 10 feet is around that 8.5’ to 9’ range. So for example, if you having ceiling heights that are 10 feet, you should look for a 12” downrod so that the fan will hang around that 8’-9’ range. Look at the graphic above for a full explanation on optimal downrod sizing for outdoor ceiling fans
