Popular FAQs
What IP rating should terrace or patio lights have?
-
Outdoor fixtures are exposed to rain, moisture, dust & weather. For partially sheltered patio areas, an IP44 rating is usually the minimum.
-
More exposed areas (open terraces, areas with direct rain or hose spray) should use higher ratings like IP65 or above.
What types of lighting are good for patios/terraces?
-
Ambient/general lighting: ceiling lights (if there’s a roof or covering), wall lights, lantern-style fixtures.
-
Accent or decorative lighting: string/fair lights, spotlights for plants or walls, lanterns, portable/battery/solar lamps.
-
Task lighting: things like wall-mounted spotlights, floodlights, or dedicated fixtures over outdoor cooking or dining areas.
How bright should my outdoor patio lighting be?
-
It depends on how you use the space. For general ambience, softer lighting works well. For functional zones (dining, cooking, paths), you’ll want stronger illumination.
-
Multiple light sources often work better than one bright light — layering helps you adjust mood and avoid glare.
How do I position lights for both safety and ambience?
-
Light walkways, stairs, and edges to prevent trips and falls. Use down-facing fixtures or directional lighting to avoid glare.
-
Use different lighting heights (floor, wall, overhead) to create a layered effect and define zones (dining area, seating, relaxation).
