Brick Lights and Outside Recessed Lights

Tuesday, May 25th, 2010

Are you looking for ideas on how to light the pathways around your house or light your driveway? Perhaps you need to light up some steps outside your home as an additional safety measure. When coming home in the dark, Brick lights recessed into your outside wall can illuminate a walkway or even define an external patio area.

 

Recessed brick lights are an ideal form of low cost low level outdoor wall lighting. These brick lights can be recessed into your outside walls to light the way to the door of your house or can be used to light up a garden wall or your drive way. Perhaps you have brick pillars at the gate or entrance to your driveway. It would be an easy job for your Electrician to recess brick lights into the Brickwork of your brick piers.

 

Brick lights come in 3 versions. Brick lights that take a standard light bulb which would accept low energy light bulbs if required. Dedicated energy saving Brick lights that will only accept energy efficient compact fluorescent lamps. The dedicated low energy brick lights will give out a low level of light output which is ideal to give enough light to guide your visitors along the path way to your door.

 

Thirdly, LED recessed brick lights are the most energy efficient. Available with either Blue or White LEDs, LED brick lights will give out light for a considerable number of years. No need to keep changing light bulbs. Although it must be said that the light bulbs used in energy saving versions of brick lights will last a considerable length of time, making them a highly cost effective form of outdoor lighting.

 

The brick lights come in Black, White and Satin Silver finishes either with a grill diffuser or a plain opal diffuser.

 

All the recessed brick lights are IP44 rated which means that they are ideally suited to outdoor use. Rain and moisture will not penetrate into the light fitting.

 

Consider using a time clock to switch your brick lights on and off. You could set the timer so that the brick lights switch on at dusk and illuminate your garden area in the evening. A dusk to dawn sensor couldĀ  also be used.

 

Altogether brick lights are a highly adaptable method of lighting your home, paths, garden, drive way or patio area.

Outside Ceiling Lights

Tuesday, April 6th, 2010

Are you looking for outside ceiling lights for a covered walkway? Perhaps you need outdoor ceiling lighting for a traditional entrance porch or external ceiling lights for a modern porch.

 

There is a wide variety of ceiling lights designed for outside use. Most with high IP ratings which tells you that the outside ceiling light that you have chosen is designed to withstand the elements for many years to come.

 

Styles of outdoor ceiling lights range from flush fitting traditional porch lights, traditional hanging porch lights that have a chain suspension to modern halogen flush outdoor ceiling lights, round or square to suit your particular home design.

 

Energy saving outside ceiling lights are also available. Although virtually all outdoor lighting these days will accept a low energy light bulb.

 

Traditionally we would say that most hanging porch lights tend to be more suited to older style properties and cottages. Black hanging porch lanterns are still the most popular ceiling light designed for use outside of the home. However, hanging outside lanterns are also available in Galvanised and Copper finishes to suit contemporary dwelling.

 

When choosing lighting for outside your home whether it may be garden lighting or any lighting which would be exposed to the elements it is worth considering the IP rating of the outdoor light fitting that you are buying. IP44 is generally enough protection from the ingress of moisture and dust. A higher rating will always afford more protection from wind and rain allowing moisture into the light fitting.

 

It is always a good idea to consult your Electrician when considering the best level of IP protection required for your particular lighting scheme.
