Applications
Exterior Lighting
Secure, welcoming, and architecturally striking outdoor lighting. From facade illumination to car park lighting, pathways to landscape features.
Exterior lighting serves three functions: safety, security, and aesthetics. Building facades, car parks, pathways, entrances, and landscape features all require different approaches, but share common demands. IP65 minimum for exposed locations. IK-rated housings to withstand impact. Photocell and DALI control for dusk-to-dawn automation. Corrosion-resistant finishes for coastal or industrial environments.
EMPRICS exterior range includes bollards, post tops, floodlights, wall-mounted fittings, linear ground recessed systems, and handrail lighting. All products are designed for the UK climate. Marine-grade aluminium housings. Tempered glass diffusers. Stainless steel fixings. Rated for operating temperatures from -20C to +45C.
Energy performance matters more outdoors because run-hours are long. Our LED exterior fittings deliver 120+ lm/W efficacy with L80 lifespans above 60,000 hours. Combined with daylight sensing and part-night dimming, your exterior scheme can deliver 70-80% energy savings compared to legacy discharge or halogen installations.
