Technical Information on Lights
How do I know if I can use a light outdoors or in a bathroom?
Each product has an IP rating. This is displayed on the product page on our website.
IP stands for Ingress (entering) Protection. It is a rating used to describe levels of sealing effectiveness of electrical enclosures against interference from foreign bodies such as dirt and moisture. In simple terms, how well is a fitting enclosed or sealed (can water, moist, steam, dust etc. penetrate the fitting?)
This is a two digit number. The first number identifies the degree of protection against the ingress of solids (dust) and the second number against liquids (drips, sprays, submersion, etc)
The most common IP ratings are as follows:
- IP 20 Enclosure– Strictly for indoor use only. Cannot be used in bathrooms and areas with steam or moisture (unless otherwise stated).
- IP 44 Enclosure– Can be used in bathrooms and areas with steam or moisture. Can be used outdoor but must be protected from harsh weather conditions. Can only withstand light rain (for example under a patio).
- IP 54 Enclosures– Same as IP44, but slightly higher dust resistant.
- IP 65 Enclosures– For outdoor use. Can withstand heavy rain (for example in one’s yard).
- IP 67 Enclosures– For outdoor use. Can withstand extremely harsh conditions. May be submerged underwater for maximum 30 minutes in water that is 1 meter high (for example in areas with heavy rainfalls / floods).
How do I know if I can dim my light?
Each product page has Dimmable information on the Specification tab. This tells you if the light fitting is able to be dimmed. Note that you may need to purchase bulbs that are dimmable for this to be possible.
What do the cool, warm and daylight colours mean when choosing bulbs?
A light bulb’s colour can dramatically enhance your living spaces, giving life to your interior design and giving each area a specific mood.
With LED bulbs, the most popular colour choices are warm white, cool white, and daylight. The colour of a light bulb is measured using the Kelvin (K) scale. For example, warm white LEDs are 2700K to 3200K, daylight is between 4000K to 4500K, and cool white is between 5000K to 6200K.
How do I know what bulbs to purchase for my light?
Each product page has Lamp Base information on the Specification tab. This tells you which bulbs to purchase for the light fitting.
Is there a warranty on your products?
Each product page has Warranty information on the Specification tab. The warranty/guarantee is mentioned there.
