IP RATINGS
Please see the relevant energy rating label for the corresponding lamp holder type. Please note that, with the very large number of lamp options available in the
market, it is impossible for our luminaires to accurately reflect all choices. But all lamps able to be bought in the market should have their own dedicated energy
rating performance clearly stated on their packaging.
All luminaires with replaceable lamps.
Incandescent, fluorescent or LED.
Some of our luminaires combine
built-in LED with replaceable lamps.
Dedicated LED fittings.
extended life, especially when in coastal areas. For all models, we highly recommend that exterior fittings are cleaned once per year with fresh water and oiled
or waxed to give longer service. Lenses and glasses also benefit from cleaning but take care with polycarbonate or acrylic as these materials can easily scratch
if any abrasive cloth is used.
3. IP RATINGS. All exterior fittings have an IP (Ingress Protection) rating which is a declaration of how much protection any product has against the ingress
of both water and dust / particles. The minimum rating for an outdoor luminaire exposed to rain should be IP23 and the maximum can be up to IP68 (this
can vary in different countries) which means the fitting is submersible. Most of our fittings are IP44 or greater and some of the Landscape models are up to
IP67 meaning they can be covered by water up to a depth of 150mm, such as in-ground lights. See table below for full classifications. Typically, the higher the
numbers, the higher the performance.

All products within this catalogue conform with the European Union Low Voltage Directive, BS EN 60598-1:2008, the product standard for luminaires
recognised across Europe and all fittings are CE marked. Every luminaire is individually tested by Elstead Lighting to ensure that the product is electrically
sound and meets the company’s quality standards. A unique test / batch number is then applied to the fitting. Please contact us for further details or advise
us of your local needs.
