ᐅ Looking for Exterior Up/Down Lights – Purchase Recommendations Requested

Good evening everyone,

it’s about time for us to start thinking about the exterior lights.
That’s why I’m turning to the forum for recommendations.
We are considering LED up/downlights in window frame color (RAL 7016), with a cubic design. We need a total of six, one of which should have an integrated motion sensor but otherwise match the same design.

Until now, I believed that lamps with replaceable bulbs are better because you can simply replace the bulb when it stops working. However, most exterior lights seem to have the LEDs built in permanently.
What are your thoughts on this? Do you have any experience or buying recommendations to share?

Best regards,
Ippebson

I know, but 200 euros per lamp calls for alternatives.

I would think carefully about this excessive light pollution. And somehow make it switchable, so it doesn’t stay on all night.

We placed motion sensors separately. We bought the lights from Luxvenum. There are a few more in front of the three front doors (quick photo taken). I would describe the quality as excellent – and the price at about 50 (USD) as reasonable. There is also a volume discount starting from 10 pieces. We have installed around 16 units around the house – on average one every 4 meters (13 feet). Therefore, you can also see a view of the model and the box.

I have exactly those too; they’re available without branding on Amazon for 29.99 each.

Absolutely the right idea! The lighting should not spread too far and should turn on only when needed. In our case, the lights by the front doors, along the path, and under the roof overhang are controlled by motion detectors and dusk sensors. The lights around the house are switched on only when needed and do not extend beyond the roof overhang. The driveway has a dim position light every 10m (33 feet), also controlled by motion detectors and dusk sensors, so you know where the slope begins and can stay safely on the path.
