Lights and lamps for LED terrace lighting

Image
The lighting of a terrace with lights and LED lamps must be designed with extreme care. At the stake is not only the quality of the light and the aesthetics of the terrace, but also the safety of the tenants or those who use this space (customers, the public, etc.). In order to avoid short circuits and dangerous discharge of current in case of rain, hail or high humidity, it is first of all necessary to consider the IP degree of the lamps, a value shown on the label that indicates the level of protection of the casings of the lamps themselves against dust, solid bodies and liquids. The IP degree is formed by two digits, the first of which indicates the shielding from solid bodies while the second corresponds to the resistance to water penetration. When buying LED lamps for terrace lighting, it is essential that the IP rating is as high as possible (the maximum is 68), so as to ensure flawless operation, necessary in an outdoor context such as the terrace.

How to light up the garden with LED lamps

Image
Lighting the garden with LED lamps is an effective, safe and economical solution. Given the slightly higher cost involved, choosing to light the garden with LED lamps means amortizing costs in the long term, improving the quality of the light and reducing maintenance (primarily replacing the light bulb). The reasons for adopting this type of lighting are wasted, and more and more people, but also professionals and companies, who prefer to light their garden with latest-generation LED lamps. As a result, the market has invested in this direction, offering a catalog of outdoor LED lamps that is never as wide and diversified as it is today. But be careful: not all LED lamps are designed for outdoor use. The utmost attention must be paid to the materials, to the presence of any drivers, and above all to the IP rating given in the technical data sheet. The latter value ranges from 00 to 68, although more levels have recently been added to the top of the ranking, i.e. IP69K (German sta...

Mini LED lighting guide for the garden

Image
LED garden lighting is typically obtained with floor lamps, a macro-category of solutions that includes floor lamps, recessed spotlights, posts and other models of various shapes. These LED lighting devices are designed to withstand primarily weather, i.e. rain, frost and humidity (saltiness is a separate chapter that would require further study). The buyer who wishes to buy one or more accessories for the LED lighting in the garden, therefore, must check that the lamps have a good IP rating. This value, present in the package, certifies protection from dust and foreign bodies (first digit) and from water (second digit). The minimum value is zero, the maximum is 68, where 6 indicates complete protection from dust and 8 protection against the effects of submersion in water. Just to give you some examples at hand, let's point out among the LED lamps for garden lighting the Otix outdoor spotlight, the garden lamp Oh! Mars Out and the Smash Out floor lamp, all with IP 65 and comp...

How to design LED lighting for the bathroom

Image
How many times have we approached the bathroom mirror feeling a certain discomfort for the reflected light? This is just one of the many eventualities linked to a bad design of LED lighting (and not) for the bathroom. Together with the mirror, we must consider the humidity of the air, which after a hot shower can approach 100%, forcing us to select lamps with a high IP rating (two digit number, the second of which indicates the protection level of the appliance from water). Further considerations concern the position of windows and skylights and therefore the possibility of playing or not with natural light. For a design in a workmanlike manner it is necessary to study the size, orientation and characteristics of the bathroom, Nowadays, the companies' proposals are truly endless and anyone with a minimum of resourcefulness, creativity and imagination can indulge themselves and achieve surprising results, sometimes without even needing mural interventions on the bathroom. Very v...
