subject: Common Mistakes in Choosing Outdoor Lighting Fixtures [print this page] Do not over lamp your fixturesDo not over lamp your fixtures. This means that do not put in the bulb just because you can. Many of the fixtures are rated for 60 watts bulbs, but 180 watts bulb is much too bright for an outdoor light fixture in general usage. Putting gooseneck light rated for 25 watts or 40 watts maximum is advisable. You can step down to 15 watts because the idea of putting an outdoor fixture is to give warm, soft glow to the front of your building and of course provide security if you have steps. You do not want to blind your customer and you do not want to make it glary. You just want to make your store more inviting as possible.
