• Energy-saving lamps serve for a long time and allow saving energy;
• LED lamps are most often equipped with outdoor LED lights and spotlights. They are economical, durable in operation, besides they allow creating various decorative effects.

Floor-standing

Lanterns of this type - this is a classic solution, which is a plafond-augmented rack, with the plafond on top. These devices are presented in a wide variety of design solutions that fit into the trends of a variety of styles. In them, the light flux is directed only upwards, so do not install them in small areas. Floor-standing street LED lights and floodlights are used for lighting parks, alleys, and adjacent territory.

Suspended

Pendant lamps are similar in appearance to a room chandelier, which adapts to the aggressive influences of the external environment. These structures are most often attached to a chain. Their main task is to perform decorative lighting of the facade or the adjacent territory. Especially spectacularly look designer lamps in different styles, which allow you to focus on the architectural ensemble of the countryside. They are created from waterproof glass of high strength and have resistance to corrosion. Suspended LED lamps have not the highest power.

This type is widely used for soil illumination of trees, billboards, staircases, fences, transitions and retaining walls. Recessed luminaires can be installed in public buildings and facilities, production plants, office and administrative premises. When choosing LED industrial lamps, you need to take into account the increased humidity, harsh temperature conditions, dustiness and the presence of vibrations in the production.

For industrial purposes

Industrial lighting equipment should be selected so that there are no glasses in the LED itself. Depending on the direction of light, there is no need to install a diffuser in such devices. A directional luminous flux makes it possible to solve the problem with light pollution in a timely manner. Note that LED industrial light should be selected in accordance with higher requirements.

Cantilever

In street lighting, cantilever fixtures are widely used. Such devices are attached to the lighting support or the wall on the console, so it is often necessary to design roads, refuellings or open areas.

This solution serves as a reliable protection against climatic and mechanical effects. Cantilever street lighting fixtures LED are complemented by high-pressure mercury lamps, sodium or LED. The peculiarity of this lighting equipment is in high energy efficiency, service life, absence of pulsations.

In the sphere of housing and communal services, equipment made of reliable materials and protected by special means is used. To monitor the status of the instrument, built-in motion sensors are used. The LED light with the sensor responds quickly to the movement of objects that turns the light device on or off. These devices are good in that they can be used in any climatic conditions, with no flickering or pulsations of the light flux.
