With cool light you ensure safety around your house, whereas warm light creates a cosy, sociable mood in the garden – for example, during an outdoor celebration or get-together with family and friends. This requires a harmonious lighting plan. With or without embellishments, classic or modern: your house, your garden, your style. And with the latest LED technology, you can say goodbye to excessive electricity bills!

1. Which colour temperature should I choose for outdoor lighting?
Warm white outdoor lighting with a colour temperature up to 3,300 Kelvin produces cosy light – such as outdoor lighting for a patio and garden. For sufficient brightness and safety, neutral white exterior lighting provides between 3,300 and 5,300 Kelvin – ideal for house entrances.
2. What brightness should my outdoor lighting have?
400 to 600 lumens are enough for pleasant outdoor lighting. For a powerful outdoor spotlight, you should choose more than 1,000 lumens.
3. Which lightbulbs are suitable for outdoor lighting?
LED bulbs are highly recommended for outdoor lighting. They score well on energy-saving and usually have a long life.
4. What do I need to know about IP ratings?
Outdoor lights should at least conform to IP44. If lights are exposed to strong jets of water, such as through a lawn sprinkler, a minimum of IP65 is required.
