Outdoor Lighting
Outdoor lighting can transform how you see and understand a building or pathway. It should be properly and functional, to provide relaxing atmosphere, and in the same time safety and fun. It is important for every type of architect to understand how outdoor lights can integrate with a building and its larger site. By understanding the play between light. Architects can use contrast and shadows to create inspiring and intriguing spaces through the outdoor lightings.
Besides general use of flood light, wall lamp, step light, bollard, planter light and driveway uplights, façade projects equipped with wall washer, linear aluminum profile, optional with dynamic color effects can also be well entertained with programmable control system.
Consideration of Ingress Protection (IP) Rating is a must for outdoor lightings. A two-digit number established by the International Electro Technical Commission, is used to provide an Ingress Protection rating to a piece of electronic equipment or to an enclosure for electronic equipment.
The larger the value of each digit, the greater the protection.
EC Lux provides most commonly used IP44 products for semi-outdoor usage like canopy light, while we suggest at least IP65 for outdoor, and IP68 for immersed environment.
Fibre optics light can easily create starry effect and other special usage not only for indoor, but is also another nice option for tough submersed usage, we offer these systems from European brands to cost effective China alternatives with high quality.
