Important purchasing criteria for façade lights

When purchasing façade luminaires, you should pay attention to several factors to ensure the optimum lighting for your building. A well-chosen luminaire combines functionality with aesthetics and ensures safety and an attractive appearance.

Protection class & weather resistance

As you are installing façade luminaires outdoors, they should be optimally protected against moisture and the effects of the weather. Therefore, make sure they have the right IP protection class to ensure long-lasting and safe lighting.

• IP44: Lights with this protection rating are protected against splashing water and are ideal for use in covered areas.
• IP65: These lamps are protected against dust and water jets and are therefore ideal for exposed outdoor areas.

Light colour

Depending on the desired ambience and the intended function, various light colours are available for façade luminaires:

• Warm white (2700-3000K): With this light colour, you can create a cosy and inviting atmospherethat makes your outdoor area even more pleasant.
• Neutral white (3500-5000K): Neutral white light provides balanced lighting that ensures both safety and good orientation .
• Cool white (5000K+): With its clear light, this lighting is ideal for modern and bright façade lighting, creating a stylish and effective look.

Luminous intensity

To achieve the perfect lighting for your outdoor areas, you should adjust the light intensity (lumens) depending on the area of application:

To create an inviting atmosphere, we recommend 400-800 lumens for your entrance area. For illuminating your house façade and pathways, 800-1500 lumens are ideal, ensuring a clear view and good orientation. If you want to optimise your emergency lighting, you should choose luminaires with 1500 lumens or more to guarantee the best possible visibility and protection.

Additional functions & convenience

• Twilight sensor: A twilight sensor ensures that your light switches on and off automatically, so you don't have to worry about a thing.
• Dimmability: The dimmer function allows you to adjust the brightness as required, creating the perfect light for any mood.
• Solar operation: With solar-powered lights, you are opting for a sustainable solution that is ideal for places without a power connection and is also environmentally friendly.
