Ingress protection rating (IP); this relates to the degree of protection the light provides against solid objects and water ingress. IP ratings are relevant to anywhere that moisture is prevalent, such as bathrooms, utility rooms and outdoor environments. Written as IPXX, the first X denotes the level of protection offered from dust; the second X denotes the level of protection offered from moisture. The higher the numbers are, the better the protection will be.

LEDS make it possible to have a choice of white colours or ‘tones’. This allows easy customisation of an area to bring out the best in the materials and design of a room. With standard white LED lighting, these tones range from warm-yellow, to daylight-blue light, with options in between. The graphic below is a reference that starts at a warm yellow colour on the left and fades into a blue colour on the right.

Colour temperature ratings describe the tones of white light available. Colour temperature options range from 2000-3000K for Warm White lighting, 3100-4500 for Cool White lighting and 4600-6500 for Daylight White lighting. It can be a tricky decision to know what is best for your installation, but our skilled technical sales team are on hand to guide you through choosing the perfect white tone for your room.
