    3151913F-02F9-4A13-AC8E-5343888633ED.jpeg I’m looking to install staked spotlight(s) to light up the stone part of our house when we put wreaths in the two large windows for Christmas. What light and light angle would be best to do this so that the stone part is lit, but not much else. Would it work best to have a wider angle up close for the bottom half and a narrow beam further away for the second story?

    Thanks!

    Hey Steve, love the stone accent on the corner, very cool. I would use a very narrow beam 2700K spot light(all star) with low wattage LED lamp(3 watt/12 degree)with glare guard. The only problem i see is shining light into the house. setting the fixture back about 15-20 feet. would put it on timer to turn off before bed time. Hope this helps...merry x-mas

    +1, but if these are specifically for Christmas, I might match my lamp color temperature to any other Christmas lights I put up. For example some Christmas lights are super warm 2200K and some are blue and cool 5000K. Id adjust my Color Temperature accordingly so all of my lights match.
