FAQ: Common Questions about Exterior Lighting
Which exterior luminaires does WATT24 offer?
WATT24 offers bollard lights, spike lights, outdoor wall lights, LED floodlights, in-ground uplights, outdoor lights with motion sensors, solar lights, rechargeable table lamps, garden lighting and accessories for exterior luminaires.
What IP rating do outdoor lights need?
IP44 is often sufficient for covered areas. Luminaires fully exposed to the weather usually have IP65. In-ground uplights and luminaires that may be temporarily submerged generally require IP67 or higher. IP ratings are defined in IEC 60529.
Which standard applies to outdoor workplace lighting?
EN 12464-2 covers lighting of outdoor workplaces such as business premises, car parks and loading areas. Public roads and paths are covered by the EN 13201 series.
What does the IK rating of an outdoor light mean?
The IK rating according to IEC 62262 indicates how resistant an enclosure is to mechanical impact, from IK00 to IK10. Luminaires in publicly accessible areas, such as bollards or wall lights in car parks, often have IK08 to IK10.
Which light colour is insect-friendly for outdoor lighting?
Warm white light of no more than 3000 kelvin, ideally 2700 kelvin or amber, combined with luminaires that only emit light downwards, is considered insect-friendly. In Germany, section 41a of the Federal Nature Conservation Act (BNatSchG) regulates the protection of insects from artificial lighting.
