Outdoor Steplights FAQ

Your guide to a confident purchase

What IP rating should an outdoor light have?

IP44 may be suitable for a sheltered outdoor area, while IP54 or IP65 is generally better for more exposed locations. Areas subject to heavy rain, water jets or ground moisture may require a higher rating.

What colour temperature is best for outdoor lighting?

Warm white around 3000K creates a welcoming effect around entrances, patios and gardens. Neutral white around 4000K provides clearer visibility for pathways, garages and security lighting.

How high should outdoor wall lights be installed?

Outdoor wall lights are commonly mounted around 1.6 to 1.8 metres above the ground. The correct height depends on the fitting, doorway, wall size and intended beam coverage.

What is the difference between a brick light and a step light?

A brick light is usually recessed into a wall or brickwork to provide low-level illumination. A step light is positioned near stairs, steps or pathways to improve visibility and safety.

Which outdoor lighting materials are best for Australian conditions?

Powder-coated aluminium, brass, copper, marine-grade stainless steel and UV-stabilised polymers are commonly used outdoors. Coastal locations require products specifically suitable for salt-air environments.
