LED Wall Lights
The IP value indicates the degree of protection against the ingress of moisture and dust. The 1st digit (0 = not protected until 6 = completely dustproof) indicates the protection against dust. The 2nd digit (0 = not protected until 8 = protected against immersion) indicates the protection against water. Products with an IP44 rating are splashproof and products with an IP65 rating or higher are (completely) dustproof and waterproof.
The impact protection value (IK) stands for impact resistance and protection against vandalism. This is expressed in combination with 2 digits (IK00 - IK10). Products with IK00 are not protected against resistance. Products with IK10 offer resistance to shocks of 20 Joule and are also vandal-proof.
The colour code is a combination of colour rendering (CRI) and light colour (Kelvin). The first number indicates the colour rendering (1 = very poor colour rendering, 9 = maximum colour fastness). The second and third number contains the light colour. Example: the colour code 830 consists of good colour rendering (8) and warm white light (3000K).
Lighting with a built-in emergency lighting unit (battery) continues to burn for a certain time if the power fails.
Every bulb or fixture has an energy efficiency class A to G. Energy label A is the most efficient and G the least. LED lighting is the most sustainable lighting technique. Even if a LED bulb is rated E or lower, they still save 70% of energy compared to conventional lighting with the same energy label. Why is it the same label then? To motivate LED brands to get even more durable.
For which areas are wall mounted LED lights suitable?
LED wall lights are very versatile as they can be placed outdoors and indoors. In addition, they are suitable for companies, hotels, restaurants and also households. Our assortment includes both integrated LED wall lights and lamps compatible with a light bulb.
The colour temperature of the light plays an important role. Cool white light (4,000 K) supports concentration and makes the human organism awake, while extra warm white (2,700 K) or warm white (3,000 K) lighting has a relaxing effect on the human body. Our range also includes dimmable LED wall lights. With these you can adjust the brightness of the light.
What should be considered when buying LED outdoor wall lights?
It is essential to pay attention to the IP protection class of the product. If you expect your lamp to be exposed to heavy rain, you must make sure that it has a protection rating of IP65 or higher. If you want to install your outdoor wall light where it only comes into contact with little rain, an IP44 protection rating is sufficient.
Outdoor areas often do not need to be lit for a long period of time, that's why outdoor wall lights with sensor are a popular choice. You can choose between motion sensors or twilight switches.
How to install LED wall lights
All our fixtures are sold with the necessary parts to install them on a wall, such as screws and dowels. Once you have found a spot on the wall where you can connect the lamp to the power, this is how you install an LED wall light:
- Disconnect the power;
- Attach the fixture's support to the wall;
- Connect the electrical cables to the lamp by inserting them into the terminals;
- Mount the lamp on the support by fixing it with the screws provided;
- In the case of wall lamps without integrated light source, mount a light bulb compatible with the lamp;
- Switch the power back on and switch on the light.
Where should wall lights be placed?
What you should also bear in mind during installation is the height at which you install your LED wall luminaire. As a rule, you install them at a height of at least 5.6 ft (1.7 metres) so that they do not dazzle people. However, this is just a suggestion. For example, with wall mounted LED lights that emit their light diffusely, there is a lower risk of dazzling peolpe and they can be placed at different heights.
