LED in-ground luminaires for outdoor areas serve to optimise the appearance and safety of the property**. More focus can be placed on security or looks depending on whether it is used in the commercial or private sector. However, the safety aspect isn’t solely for commercial use and the visual aspect isn’t solely for private sector use. Regardless of whether it is a company property or a private home, each of these properties can have access roads, car parks, gravel beds, wood panelling for terraces or bridges leading over ponds and, of course, paths that criss-cross the property. The use of the recessed LED floor light, whether for decorative or safety-related purposes, depends on the respective character of the property. Of course, a high-quality recessed light can fulfil both functions simultaneously.
More often than not, company properties need large-scale parking areas for their employees. As employees often arrive in the dark and leave in the dark, especially in the darker seasons, these parking areas must be well lit in order to prevent accidents and allow them to leave the company premises comfortably even when they are almost exhausted after a hard day's work. Often, the wall lights of a building are used in combination with post lights to illuminate parking areas near to a building. Whilst wall lights make the building boundaries clearly visible, post lights shine a large beam of light onto a large part of the parking area, providing visibility. LED recessed floor lights, on the other hand, don't illuminate the parking area from below because there are no reflective surfaces to spread the light into the surroundings and make extensive illumination possible. However, similar to some manoeuvring areas on an airfield, they make the borders of an access road visible. For lorry drivers, for example, this can provide impeccable orientation - the road to be used is always clearly visible. Recessed LED spotlights are also used in the hotel sector as an orientation aid as well as a visual enhancement of the hotel property: When bus or taxi drivers take hotel guests to their hotels in the dark, roads within the hotel complex flanked by recessed luminaires often show them the way. On the other hand, features like this are visually first-class and the guests are more attracted to the hotel.
LED light technology has recently asserted itself for use in outdoor lights. The modern recessed light uses LEDs in combination with a high-quality housing. Recessed floor lights must withstand tremendous demands and must often remain on for the entire night. Assuming an average of 8-12 hours of darkness per day, you would soon come to the conclusion that traditional lighting technology would quickly meet its limits in terms of lifetime. Filament bulbs, which only last for 1000 hours, do not even enter into the debate. LED recessed spotlights, on the other hand, last up to 50,000 hours** depending on the manufacturer, processing quality and heat management. In contrast to incandescent lamps, the quality of light is also much better suited for outdoor use: Instead of the cosy warm white light sources, lamps tending more towards white or even bluish are often used for commercial areas. Many recessed floor lights use universal white light which is much easier to achieve with an LED than with other bulbs. There are, of course, many warm-white LED recessed floor lights available for private use. These outdoor lights also ensure that the outdoor area and garden look particularly inviting. In addition to the service life, the savings in electricity costs with LED recessed floor lights are also extremely attractive: between 80-90 % of energy can be saved with LED lighting technology and a high-quality product without any loss of brightness. The slightly higher purchase costs will soon pay for themselves - often within the first year of use.
In addition to a high-quality LED bulb, recessed floor lights also need a high-quality finish so that you can be satisfied with the product for a long time. One of the most important criteria - if not the most important - is the protection rating, abbreviated to IP. Recessed floor lights are often exposed to heavy rain, which can sometimes lead to them being immersed in water. This risk can differ depending on where the product is mounted, but occasional flooding can be expected on illuminated access roads. An IP67 protection rating is a minimum requirement. This means that the product is dust-proof and suitable for intermittent immersion (in water). It is even better to use a product with protection class IP68, which is protected against constant immersion. This protection rating is required for pond lights and the like, and constitutes the highest protection rating available for recessed floor lights. The dangerous combination of water and electricity is only acceptable with a correspondingly high protection level, otherwise the beautiful and useful outdoor lighting will quickly come to pose a risk.
As well as a high protection rating and a high-quality light source, how the rest of the material in an LED recessed floor light is finished is crucial. Different materials are used in these products, for example polyester resin, Plexiglass and of course aluminium, glass and plastic. Many recessed floor spotlights also have a frame made of stainless steel, usually square or round, which surrounds the lamp and looks high-quality and visually impeccable on the one hand and requires hardly any maintenance on the other. Install and enjoy long-term, maintenance-free enjoyment with LED light technology - this is the motto of LED recessed floor lights. For recessed floor luminaires that are to be used in car parks or areas with traffic, it is important to choose a recessed luminaire that is clearly designated as suitable for traffic. For these lights you should also look at the maximum load capacity because inadvertently or unavoidably driving over the LED recessed light could damage it or make it unusable. If recessed floor luminaires are not to be driven over, but possibly walked over, products should be selected that are marked as accessible.
