Hello, I have some old fixtures in my backyard that I'd like to replace with some LED new fixtures but I'm lost with so many different reviews?

Any good quality, sturdy LED outdoors lamps that you'd recommend? Thank you!

    Would this be for the exterior wall or a post light?

    Does color rendering or color temperature make any difference?

    LED
    color temperatures can play a very important role in landscape lighting.
    Most landscape lighting is going to come in a 27,000 Kelvin temperature
    or a 3000 Kelvin temperature. I like to use 3000 Kelvin temperature light
    bulbs, with green lenses on shrubs and small bushes. However, I like to
    use 27K when highlighting a brick wall. So the answer to your question
    depends on the color of whatever you’re trying to highlight.

    For
    security outdoor lights, go with a 3000 Kelvin temperature.

    My question was more on the order of does dkotov need to make something in the yard look good, or find the way from the garage to the house without tripping :-)
