Representation through light does not begin inside a building. Appealing exterior lighting
arouses curiosity and entices people to enter. It is also responsible for creating an ambience of
safety and providing orientation for guests through clearly visible paths, entrances, and exits.
In front of hotels or restaurants, the exterior lighting creates a first impression. The lighting
design along the entrance or in the surrounding park shapes the guests’ perception and that
of passers-by. By providing a pleasantly warm light colour at night, the hotel grounds convey
a sense of security. Outdoor luminaires with motion sensors are an energy-saving solution for
places that are only occasionally accessed. Finally, outdoor luminaires need to be particularly
robust and weatherproof. IP 54 protection class luminaires withstand rain and moisture as well
as impacts, dust, and insects.
Recommendations
• Luminaires with higher protection against water, insects,
and dust (min. IP44 / 54)
• Good illumination of entrances and exits with warm light
colours
• Increased safety
• Glare-free and uniform light for better orientation
• Improved orientation
• Illumination of trees and plants enlivens the garden and
creates atmosphere
