ᐅ Edge of town – exterior lighting for the house

Hello,
I’m wondering which outdoor light I need... I would like to have good lighting all around the house... So that when I come home and it’s dark, I don’t have to be afraid... What wattage/lumen output should I install to get bright enough light? Not a weak light, but also not a powerful floodlight...
Preferably with a motion sensor... I’ve heard there are motion sensors that can distinguish between a person and an animal...
Thank you very much for the help...
We live rather on the edge of town... so somewhat remote...

So, whether you want it around the house...
On the terrace, lights with warmer light and not too bright, without motion sensors and with indoor switches.
Where you want it bright, LED floodlights with motion sensors.
Maybe you could make a sketch. That would give us a better idea.

Here is a picture. One side is attached to a building... but isn’t 14 watts too little?

No, 14-watt LED lights consume a lot of power.

What is the standard wattage? Are there typical values?

You can go with this. Good price. Bright enough.

Ten LEDs are roughly equivalent to a 60-watt incandescent bulb.

What? Don’t confuse the lady. Usually, a circuit board has several LEDs with a power consumption of about 3 to 9 watts, which corresponds roughly to a 30 to 60-watt incandescent bulb.
