Applications for Exterior Lighting
Win-E offers LED fixtures perfect for all types of exterior lighting applications:
– Street & Roadway: Roads, highways, parking lots (Area, shoebox, post-top)
– Landscape: Gardens, pathways, signage, water features (spot, flood, wall wash)
– Architectural: Building facades, bridges, monuments (grazers, flood, point source)
– Canopies: Gas stations, porticos, patios (flat lens, recessed)
– Sports & Recreation: stadiums, parks, pools (flood, post-top, high bays)
– Industrial: Warehouses, work yards, security (high/low bay, flood)
Win-E’s exterior lighting fixtures utilize precision optics to shape light for maximum coverage, uniformity, and visual comfort. Robust housings, lens, glare control, and gasketing enable permanent outdoor usage. Additional features like surge protection, animal deterrents, and remote controls offer enhanced performance tailored to the application.
Long Lifespan & Energy Efficiency
Win-E exclusively uses LED technology in their exterior fixtures. The solid-state nature of LEDs enables them to withstand vibration, moisture, and temperature extremes that quickly damage fragile incandescent and fluorescent lamps.
Built with quality LED chips and drivers, Win-E exterior fixtures deliver:
– 50,000 – 100,000 hour lifetimes that can last over a decade without lamp replacement
– 80% or higher lumen maintenance over the LED lifetime
– Over 120 lumens per watt efficacy for ultra-low energy consumption
These enhanced longevity and efficiency qualities generate tremendous cost savings over older HID technology. Maintenance costs are slashed due to the reduced fixture servicing and lamp changes required.
Robust and Reliable Construction
To thrive in the harsh outdoor environment, exterior lighting must feature waterproof, vandal-resistant designs. Win-E engineers their LED fixtures to handle all weather conditions and resist tampering:
– Corrosion-resistant marine-grade aluminum housing and hardware
– Tempered glass lenses with silicone seals to prevent water ingress
– Powder coat and anodize treatments protect against rust and abrasions
– Impact-resistant polycarbonate lenses on areas susceptible to damage
– Tight gaskets, conduit connections, and wire ports prevent water intrusion
– Easy tool-less entry for convenient maintenance access
– IK08 and IK10 ratings on fixtures to deter vandalism
Win-E fixtures installed years ago continue to provide reliable service even in coastal, industrial, and high-abuse installations. This brings peace of mind knowing the lighting requires minimal maintenance over its lifetime.
Frequently Asked Questions About Exterior Lighting
Those exploring exterior LED lighting often have these common questions:
1. What IP rating makes a fixture suitable for outdoors?
IP65 and IP66 ratings guarantee exterior fixtures are dust-tight and can withstand rain, sprinklers, hoses, and temporary submersion.
2. What is the difference between exterior flood and area lighting?
Floodlighting projects focused on cones of light. Area lighting (shoebox, high bay) distributes wide, uniform illumination ideal for yards, parking lots, etc.
3. How can I determine the spacing and height for exterior LED fixtures?
Photometric test reports with recommended spacing/heights are essential for planning uniform lighting. Win-E provides these reports for all products.
4. What controls work for exterior LED lighting?
Occupancy sensors, daylight sensors, and programmable controls help maximize efficiency and customization. Centralized control systems allow remote management of large networks.
5. How do you prevent exterior LED fixtures from glaring?
Glare control options like shields, visors, louvers, optics, tilt adjustment, and surface mounting help direct light only where needed.
6. What CCT is best for the exterior and what impacts color?
Cool 5000K-6500K white light aids visibility outdoors. Lower CCT adds aesthetic warmth but reduces vision. Match fixtures to avoid color shift.
