Here are a few things to keep in mind when you go shopping for outdoor lights.<\/p>\n

Power:<\/strong> For most outdoor lighting, you need to run a cable to a power outlet, so you will want an outdoor socket. If you don\u2019t have an outdoor socket, it\u2019s usually a pretty cheap and quick job for an electrician to install a weatherproof one. Just be aware that large power adapters and awkwardly shaped plugs will not fit in outdoor sockets, so you will likely also want some kind of weatherproof box. I like the large Dri-Box ($42)<\/a> because it has plenty of space and scores an IP55 rating. I have also used the smaller Masterplug Weatherproof Electric Box ($45)<\/a>, and it\u2019s fine. If an outdoor socket isn\u2019t possible, consider running a cable indoors, but it can be tricky and messy if you have to drill through a wall. Solar-powered lights are a good alternative. You could even consider using a portable power station<\/a> in a shed or other outbuilding. Whatever way you go, always plug the lighting in and connect it via the app before you install it in any outdoor areas.<\/p>\n
