What degree of IP protection is most recommended for patio or terrace lamps?

Outdoor terraces are always exposed to different atmospheric agents, such as heat or intense cold and rain of all kinds of strength and duration, so it is a good idea to have a lighting system properly protected against these factors. Depending on your particular terrace and the type of lighting desired, one level of protection or another will be better for you. For example, if it is a covered terrace, a minimum protection of IP23 will be sufficient, although an IP44 protection is recommended, provided that it is not exposed directly to the weather. If, on the other hand, it is an open terrace, an IP65 protection will serve to ensure that your lighting system has sufficient protection against more intense forms of dust and dirt, as well as against all kinds of rain.

Tips for lighting patios or terraces with lamps

Cold colours don't create cosy spaces. If you are looking to create a relaxed atmosphere, place your trust in warm white lamps. Invest in those little extras that make a difference, such as motion sensors, integrated socket boxes or the installation of multiple switches. In addition to the savings provided by LED lamps for terraces, also consider the option of solar LED lighting. Thoroughly research the best options for each site and choose from outdoor floor lamps, table lamps, outdoor wall lamps or ceiling lamps, among many other options.
