LED outdoor lighting and waterproof LED Lights – How to choose?

 The winter months are over and the light outside is getting longer and longer. The temperature also sometimes starts to get like spring. The trees and plants will soon be in bloom again and we will be outside more and more often. However, we cannot escape the fact that it will be dark again at night. But we can do something about it.

With the waterproof light for outdoor, you can illuminate the garden, nature, terraces, paths, driveways, and facades in every color of the rainbow in an economical and environmentally friendly way. It can still rain, so outdoor lighting should always be waterproof. The waterproof LED lamps can be recognized by their IP value. We'll explain more about it below.

What IP value do you need?

To be able to say which IP value you need, we first need to know where the lighting will be placed. For example, would you like to place the lighting indoors or outdoors? And is the room in which the lighting is damp or not damp.

We will first explain how to read the IP value. An IP value always contains 2 digits. The first digit stands for protection against solid objects and dust. The second digit stands for protection against liquids such as water.



Types of LED outdoor lighting

Now that we know what type of lighting we can and cannot use outdoors, we can examine what types of lamps are suitable for particular environments and applications. In the following, we discuss the possible application of waterproof LED outdoor lighting and what IP value it often has.

The Lighting of gardens and plants

LED garden spotlights and outdoor lights are suitable for the decorative lighting of your gardens and plants. LED garden spotlights and outdoor lights have an IP value of IP66.

Illumination of walls and facades

Illuminating walls and facades can create a beautiful effect that attracts the attention of passers-by. You can achieve this by pointing an LED wall washer or colored LED flood lamp at the wall that you want to illuminate. The LED wall washers have an IP66 value and can therefore be used in all weather conditions.



Illumination of paths, driveways, and entrances

It is advisable to light the paths well for safety reasons. Paths can be well illuminated with spotlights. These can easily be directed to where light is needed.

The LED headlights have an IP65 value and should be installed at least half protected. This also applies to the waterproof LED fluorescent tube.

Exterior Pole Mounted Lights - Mast lights as an eye-catcher in the garden

Exterior pole lights are suitable for outdoors - for example on the terrace or the courtyard. Like other outdoor lights, they are wind and weatherproof - they also make paths visible and delimit garden plots. At the same time, the lights can prevent someone from injuring themselves on your property, as you can use them to illuminate obstacles well. Small walls or bollards in the garden or in the driveway can be made visible with outdoor lights. What do you have to consider with outdoor pole lights? If you already have a foundation for your outdoor light - for example a wall, then you simply place the plinth light on it.

Pole mounted lights with motion detectors can not only help deter b
