At any time of day and even in the most adverse weather conditions, it is important to guarantee optimum visibility for greater safety and to illuminate shaded areas with pinpoint accuracy. Especially in the morning and evening hours, the right outdoor lighting makes loading activities, entrances and exits as well as walkways safe and comfortable in areas with stairs and obstacles, some of which are highly frequented. With a tailor-made solution consisting of weather-resistant LED outdoor luminaires, you can guide people and machines safely to their destination at all times.

For uniform and precise area illumination in access routes and loading zones, we recommend powerful LED floodlights with built-in beam angles. These focus the light where it is needed.

In addition, unwanted visitors are kept away from well-lit areas, which also increases general safety in the company.

If you want to use an LED spotlight for outdoor use, it should definitely have the appropriate protection classes. Only then can you be sure that your spotlight will withstand the weather conditions. We recommend that you buy LED outdoor spotlights with an IP protection rating of at least 65. This number indicates that the product is both dustproof and waterproof. Depending on where you want to install your LED spotlight, the IK class should also not be too low so that the spotlight is impact-resistant. For higher mechanical loads, we recommend vibration-resistant LED spotlights.

Whether in production, manufacturing, warehousing or logistics, the ambient conditions place special demands on the technology and robustness of the LED spotlights to be used. Dust and moisture resistance create the best possible visual and working conditions. The right light distribution and light color prevent glare and premature fatigue among employees. They also make visual tasks easier and thus improve work performance.

DIN-EN 12464-1 provides a good guideline for planning lighting with LED spotlights that is suitable for the workplace. According to this standard, a luminous flux of 200 lumens per square meter (also known as lux) is prescribed for warehouses. Halls in which rough work is carried out, such as industrial halls, require at least 300 lm/m². Depending on how fine the work is, 1,500 lm/m² may also be necessary.

Vibration-resistant LED spotlights are available for special mechanical loads, such as use on moving or vibrating machine parts, conveyor belts or vehicles. Vibration-damped mounting of the ballast and special securing of all screws make these versions particularly robust against vibrations.

The days of halogen spotlights are finally over, especially since the EU ban on halogen, T5, T8, HQI and HQL lamps came into force. The final phase of this law has now come into effect, banning the production of old light sources. In some countries, the products have already been taken off the shelves. This measure aims to significantly reduce energy consumption, promote the purchase of energy-efficient LED lighting and protect the environment. In addition to the legal requirements, however, there are other reasons why it makes sense to switch to LEDs:

• LED spotlights consume up to 90% less electricity
• LEDs emit very little heat
• The light from modern LED spotlights is flicker and flicker-free
• Longer operating times of 80,000 hours and more
• Maintenance-free
• More environmentally friendly than halogen lights, LEDs contain no toxic substances

LED floodlights and LED spotlights are available with different beam angles. These indicate the dispersion of the light in degrees. You choose the LED spotlight with beam angle depending on the room and purpose for which you want to use it.

• 10°: A small beam angle is ideal for illuminating certain objects and small areas. For example, you can use an LED spotlight to highlight a machine or work area.
• 36°: This type of beam angle is suitable for accent lighting in certain areas of a room. This allows you to illuminate and highlight corners or goods in a retail store, for example.
• 70° – 90°: With this beam angle, you can illuminate hallways, corridors and narrow rooms in a targeted manner.
• 120°: This value or higher is ideal for ambient lighting in a room.
• 360°: With this beam angle, the LED spotlights shine evenly all around.

We offer you a large selection of professional LED lighting for your project. GIFAS luminaires with innovative thermal management are ideal for long-term outdoor and indoor lighting. As a result, an LED floodlight is often used in areas such as production, workshops, warehouses, logistics as well as outdoor areas and access roads. Another major advantage of GIFAS spotlights is that they are very energy efficient and have a high protection class of up to IP66 and IK10. The quality of the LED lights plays a key role and ensures planning and investment security thanks to rapid amortization and energy savings of up to 70%. You save a lot of energy costs compared to old light sources such as halogen, HQL or HQI.
