Environmental impact

Care should be taken for the environment and local wildlife to maintain the ecological balance. Insects, bats, wildlife
can all be affected by light pollution. The warmer colour spectrum of 2,700 Kelvins does not interfere with insects
and general wildlife as much as the blue colour spectrum of light around 6,000 kelvins which can disrupt their normal night-time
activity. This also applies to bats where an anti-glare light fitting works better as well as reducing the overall light
pollution in the area. You must also be mindful of your neighbours and the effect your lighting can have on them and shining
a flood light into their windows at night will cause them distress. Try to keep the light in a downward position and local
to the area you want to illuminate and even if you want to illuminate tall trees it can be done in a sympathetic way by placing
a ground buried or surface spike flood light directly under the trees to illuminate the canopy. Some light fittings also
have an anti-glare shield fitted to reduce light pollution.

Lamp Colour (Kelvins) 

The colour of a lamp is defined as a measurement called kelvins. A standard GLS light bulb in your house would be 2,700 kelvins
which is in the warm colour spectrum and a lamp with 5,000 kelvins would be at the very cold white spectrum. 

Installation 220 – 240v

Choosing the style of a product is only part of the equation you must also think of where that product will be used and how
it will be installed. All exterior lighting products on our web site have an IP rating appropriate to each light fitting
and its intended application and is therefore fit for purpose. Water ingress is the enemy for outdoor lighting and the
products supplied are only as good as the installation. The weakest point is always cable joints. All joints must be
made 100% watertight and this can be done using IP68 cable connectors and/or waterproof junction boxes which are then
filled with a re-enterable liquid gel mix. All joints where possible should be made above ground for easy access and
reduced water ingress. When installing ground buried lights adequate drainage systems should be put in place especially
in clay-based soil areas. If possible, use ground surface spike lights rather than a buried light.  Mains 240v cable
will have less joints than a low voltage installation but care must be taken with the cable runs. Cabling should be Rubber
Butyl and not PVC. PVC leads to capillary action over time especially with UV degradation.

All exterior lights must be installed by a certified NIC EIC electrician and should be signed off by an electrician with
Part P certification. There are a selection of waterproof jointing kits and boxes available on this web site.
