Smart outdoor lighting has two main functions:
To create a feel-good ambience for garden, terrace and balcony with atmospheric light
To increase building safety and security, including protection from burglary protection and to prevent trips, falls and accidents
But making your garden smart isn’t just about lighting. There are many smart devices and professional systems these days, including Rademacher or Homematic IP garage doors, roller shutters and awnings. And to make sure the inside of your home is smart, there are devices available that control your heating, lighting - and even your coffee machine.
Create a feel-good ambience in the garden, on the terrace or balcony with individual lighting and countless lighting ideas
Improve your burglary protection with networked motion detectors that control the light independently.
Use smart cameras to see a live image transmission of who is at your door - wherever you are in the world.
Optimal orientation on the property thanks to the sensor-controlled path and façade lighting.
Coloured, effective or time-controlled, configure your garden lighting with spots and spotlights.
Impressive Christmas lighting with fully customisable, colour-changing fairy lights - you’ll be the envy of your neighbourhood.
There are now countless smart home providers on the market. However, not all smart home systems are self-contained. Through common radio standards such as ZigBee, you can integrate products from one provider into the system of another. For example, Philips Hue outdoor lights can be implemented into the home automation system from Rademacher.
But before choosing your system, it’s a good idea to check whether the system can be controlled as desired by researching:
If the product requires a Wi-Fi network
Whether it can be controlled via Bluetooth without WLAN
If it works with a remote control
Whether it's voice-activated

Smart outdoor lights also need to have the appropriate IP protection rating to withstand weather conditions, moisture and foreign objects. For this reason, indoor lights or smart accessories for indoors, like socket adapters, mustn’t be used outdoors if they’re not intended for outdoor use.
The first digit of the IP protection class provides information about the protection against foreign bodies. The second digit indicates protection against moisture.
Digit IPX4 | Protection against foreign bodies |
---|---|
0 | No protection |
1 | Protected against solid foreign bodies ≥ 50 mm |
2 | Protected against solid foreign bodies ≥ 12,5 mm |
3 | Protected against solid foreign bodies ≥ 2,5 mm |
4 | Protected against solid foreign bodies ≥ 1 mm |
5 | Dust protected |
6 | Dust-tight |
Digit IP4X | Protection against moisture |
---|---|
0 | No protection |
1 | Protected against vertically impinging dripping water |
2 | Protected against dripping water hitting at an angle |
3 | Protected against spray water |
4 | Protected against splash water |
5 | Protected against water jets |
6 | Protected against strong jets of water |
