TIPS
Always choose fixtures that are rated for outdoor use. If there is a ceiling, you can use 'damp rated' otherwise go with 'wet rated'.
Position your lights so that they illuminate work areas and do not cast shadows over them.
Whenever possible, go with LED fixtures to save energy and money.
It is always best to hire a professional to install outdoor lighting.
Combine different options to create the look you want and the function you need.
