Each outdoor space has different lighting needs, so a generic waterproof fixture won’t be enough. Understanding each fixture type helps ensure proper performance and durability. Mitek and HBK’s outdoor ranges distributed by Hoàng Bảo Khoa, include Par LED Wash, Beam/Spot, and Moving Head Outdoor fixtures for landscape to professional stage applications.
This guide helps you determine which type of outdoor fixture is best suited for your specific lighting needs.
Guide to Choosing Outdoor Lighting for Professional Applications
Each outdoor space requires a different lighting approach: gardens, building facades, architectural lighting, outdoor events or performances. Therefore, choosing any waterproof light is not enough. You need to understand each lighting type and its intended use to ensure both visual effectiveness and long-term durability.
The outdoor lighting ranges from Mitek and HBK - officially distributed by Hoàng Bảo Khoa – include Outdoor Par LED Wash, Outdoor Beam/Spot, and Outdoor Moving Head. These product lines cover all needs from landscape lighting to professional stage illumination.
The goal of this article: help you determine which outdoor lighting type best fits your project.
1. Types of Outdoor Lighting and Their Applications
1.1 Outdoor Wash / Par LED
Wash lights provide wide, even illumination, ideal for lighting gardens, trees, walls or adding color washes to architectural surfaces.
Example: City color 120 IP from Mitek & HBK - rated IP65, equipped with RGBWA 120×15W LEDs, suitable for architectural structures and large wall surfaces.
Best used for: facade washing, landscape lighting, color ambience.
Value: easy outdoor installation, wide coverage, strong visual impact.
1.2 Outdoor Beam / Spot Lights
Beam and spot fixtures produce narrow, focused light beams used to create highlights or strong directional effects.
Best used for: logo projection, accenting architectural columns, performances requiring powerful, focused beams.
Technical notes: check beam angle, LED output, brightness, and zoom capabilities for stage use.
1.3 Outdoor Moving Head Lights (IP65/IP66)
Outdoor moving heads are high-end lighting solutions capable of pan–tilt movement and flexible zoom. Depending on the model, one fixture may include beam, spot and wash modes. Hoàng Bảo Khoa provides a wide selection of Outdoor Moving Head IP65/IP66 models in the “Waterproof” category.
Best used for: festivals, concerts, touring stages, outdoor events requiring dynamic lighting effects.
1.4 Architectural / Landscape Outdoor Lighting
These fixtures are designed specifically for building facades, large trees, fountains and outdoor art installations.
