Facade Lighting
Facade lighting can be purchased from us with or without a motion or light sensor: LED floodlights and (design) wall lights. This allows you to choose when the lights are on. With facade lighting, you often add an extra touch of ambiance, safety and visibility to your home or business premises. Not only do you illuminate a front door and other access points, which helps you find the keyhole, but you also provide a deterrent for uninvited guests. As facade lighting is mounted outside, make sure you choose the right water resistance. IP55 fixtures for sheltered areas, IP65 or higher for non-sheltered areas. Are you a professional looking for facade lighting? Your business premises can become its own promotional channel by using lighting to put a spotlight on an object or billboard. Floodlights are great for this, as you install them with floor and/or wall mounting to aim the light in the right direction. Check out our outdoor facade lighting and give your home or business premises the attention it deserves!
The IP value indicates the degree of protection against the ingress of moisture and dust. The 1st digit (0 = not protected until 6 = completely dustproof) indicates the protection against dust. The 2nd digit (0 = not protected until 8 = protected against immersion) indicates the protection against water. Products with an IP44 rating are splashproof and products with an IP65 rating or higher are (completely) dustproof and waterproof.
The impact protection value (IK) stands for impact resistance and protection against vandalism. This is expressed in combination with 2 digits (IK00 - IK10). Products with IK00 are not protected against resistance. Products with IK10 offer resistance to shocks of 20 Joule and are also vandal-proof.
The colour code is a combination of colour rendering (CRI) and light colour (Kelvin). The first number indicates the colour rendering (1 = very poor colour rendering, 9 = maximum colour fastness). The second and third number contains the light colour. Example: the colour code 830 consists of good colour rendering (8) and warm white light (3000K).
Every bulb or fixture has an energy efficiency class A to G. Energy label A is the most efficient and G the least. LED lighting is the most sustainable lighting technique. Even if a LED bulb is rated E or lower, they still save 70% of energy compared to conventional lighting with the same energy label. Why is it the same label then? To motivate LED brands to get even more durable.

Why is facade lighting at your business premises so important?
The exterior of a business premises can have multiple purposes. You have the standard access points and logistics loading points, which need to be lit for safety and good visibility, and efficiency when loading and unloading. A commercial building also offers opportunities for facade advertising. In all cases, using the right façade lighting is the key to success. Whereas standard access points can be easily lit with a (designer) wall light, loading points and advertising can be illuminated more effectively with LED floodlights. These fixtures have a higher light output and are available with:
- A symmetrical beam, which evenly illuminates a section of the terrain.
- An asymmetrical beam, which highlights an object or surface with focused light.
Which light colour for commercial façades?
This all depends on the purpose of the fixture. Loading and unloading points involve working environments. To keep the focus in these areas, using 4000K (or daylight white) is ideal. This keeps staff concentration at a high level. For access points, a warmer light colour comes across as more inviting; here you have a choice of neutral warm 3000K or very warm 2700K. For façade advertising, the choice of light colour is up to you: 3000K or 4000K.
What is the best way to illuminate a house facade?
For houses, façade lighting is perfect with a warm white light. This gives a warm homely touch to the outside of your house and ensures that you can enter the house safely. We have many types of façade lighting, including designer lights that can give a home just a little more character. You can think of floor-mounted spotlights, which not only illuminate the façade, but also directly light the path alongside it. Or consider the many (designer) wall lights that look good next to doors and sliding doors. With these, you can find the keyhole without any problems.
Tip! Install our wall lights at eye level. This prevents light nuisance, partly because a large part of our range shines upwards and/or downwards.
Installing facade lighting? This is how you do it!
Let's start by saying that almost all our façade lighting comes with the necessary mounting materials. If you have opted for a fixture without a bulb, you do need to purchase the LED (E27 or GU10) yourself. Below are the two mounting options. Please note the following: the junction box for the wiring must be waterproof!
Wall mounting
- Switch off the power.
- Mark where the drill holes should be and drill them.
- Fasten the back of the bulkhead or the bracket of the floodlight to the wall with screws.
- Attach the mains wires (230V) to the fixture's wiring.
- Place the shade (and loose light source) of the bulkhead or tilt the floodlight in the right direction.
- Switch the power back on and you can light your facade.
Floor mounting
- Switch off the power.
- Stick the spotlight or place the base of the spotlight in the ground.
- Attach the power wires (230V) to the fixture's wiring.
- Screw the cap of the spotlight to the base.
- Switch the power back on and your facade lighting is ready to use.
