Low-voltage LED landscape lighting is a popular choice for homeowners who want to highlight the beauty of their home and enhance their outdoor living spaces. One of the most important decisions in any outdoor lighting system is choosing the right LED light bulbs. Most LED bulb types are offered in a wide variety of wattages, color temperatures, and beam spreads, which can make the selection process feel overwhelming.
Beam spread, also called beam angle, refers to how wide a cone of light a fixture projects. Along with wattage and brightness, it is one of the most important factors in achieving a balanced, well-designed outdoor lighting result. Thanks to a patented innovation from VOLT®, choosing the right beam spread for your LED landscape lighting just became much simpler.
Adjustable beam angle LED bulbs are a VOLT® exclusive lighting solution that allows you to change the light output to suit your specific application. These bulbs feature a built-in mechanism that lets you change the beam spread by simply rotating the lens. No tools, no swapping bulbs, no guesswork.
Two of the most widely used bulb types in landscape lighting, the MR16 and MR11, are now available with this adjustable beam spread technology. With a single bulb, homeowners can fine-tune the spread of light on any landscape or architectural feature to get the exact result they are looking for.
For example, you may want to narrow the beam to focus light between windows on a house facade, or widen it to wash over a large tree canopy. With one bulb that covers all three settings, you never have to worry about purchasing the wrong beam spread for a given application.
The three beam angle settings available in a single adjustable bulb are:
Increased Flexibility
Adjustable beam angle LED bulbs offer unmatched flexibility in how you direct light across your outdoor space. Whether you are still designing your system and unsure which beam spread to purchase, or making adjustments as landscape features grow and change over time, this bulb adapts with you without requiring a replacement.
Energy Efficiency
LED bulbs are well known for their energy efficiency. LEDs can achieve the same light output as traditional halogen bulbs while using up to 85 percent less energy, which reduces energy waste and lowers your overall electricity costs over time.
Exceptional Longevity
LED bulbs have an exceptionally long lifespan, and adjustable beam angle LED bulbs are no exception. VOLT® LED bulbs have an estimated life of between 40,000 and 60,000 hours, making them an essentially lifetime light source. You can enjoy beautiful, functional landscape lighting for years without worrying about frequent bulb replacements.
Long-Term Cost Savings
While adjustable beam angle LED bulbs may carry a slightly higher upfront cost than traditional bulbs, the combination of energy efficiency, long lifespan, and all-in-one design delivers significant long-term savings. VOLT® LED bulbs are also backed by a Lifetime Warranty, giving you added confidence in your investment.
Adjustable beam angle LED bulbs simplify one of the most common pain points in landscape lighting design. By combining three beam spread settings into a single bulb, VOLT® eliminates the uncertainty of choosing the right angle upfront and gives homeowners the flexibility to refine their lighting as their outdoor space evolves. The added benefits of energy efficiency, long bulb life, and lifetime warranty support make these bulbs a smart choice for any low-voltage outdoor lighting system.
