Question 1

What IP rating should an outdoor wall light have?

Accepted Answer

For covered outdoor areas, such as porches or protected terraces, IP44 may be sufficient. On exposed façades, patios, gardens or walls with direct rain, IP65 is recommended.

Question 2

How many lumens does an outdoor wall light need?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the use. For a main entrance, between 600 and 1200 lumens can provide comfortable lighting. For an ambient terrace, a lower flux may be enough, especially if combined with other light points. In garages, large patios or circulation areas, it may be necessary to install several wall lights or use models with higher flux. More important than power is distribution: well-oriented light improves visibility without causing glare.

Question 3

What colour temperature is best for outdoors?

Accepted Answer

In residential outdoor areas, 3000K is usually the most balanced option. It provides good visibility and maintains a warm ambience. For terraces, porches or rest areas, temperatures from 2200K to 2700K also work well.

Question 4

Can I install an indoor wall light outdoors?

Accepted Answer

It is not recommended. An indoor wall light is normally not prepared to withstand rain, humidity, dust or temperature changes. Even if installed under cover, condensation and ambient humidity can damage it.

Question 5

Which outdoor wall light should I choose for a terrace?

Accepted Answer

For a terrace, it is advisable to choose a wall light with warm or neutral light, soft diffusion and suitable protection according to exposure. On covered terraces, IP44 may be sufficient, while in open areas IP65 is recommended.
