Generally a lot of time and effort is invested in the interior lighting project of our house and it is forgotten to include the exterior areas from the beginning of the project. The proper concept is to analyse both parts in an integrated way connecting “the garden with the house or the house with the garden”. To help to achieve this, at ExpoSiner we give lighting advice according to the outdoor space we have available:
Outside areas
When talking about the exteriors of our home, we distinguish three large groups of zones:
Zone 1: Facades, covered terraces, open terraces, accesses…
Zone 2: Gardens, platforms, roads, etc…
Zone 3: Swimming pools, spa, ponds, access to the beach, etc…
Zone 1
When we light a facade or a terrace, we must take into account whether it is an area that is protected from water or not, whether it is in a coastal or inland area, because corrosion and moisture can affect the focus and make it look bad or spoil the end result. Therefor at ExpoSiner we advise you to have a protection equivalent or superior to IP65 to IP68.
