 External lighting - lighting terrace and gone - garden and swimming pool
External lighting: comfort, safety and environment…
The various techniques of lighting can adapater with the architecture of your outsides and required environment. One defines according to the support and the technique.
the lighting direct or indirect, diffuse or coherent, shaving, descendant or amount… In substance, one lights the entries, the alleys, the terraces, the lawn, the solid masses, the thickets, trees or shrubs
From the point of view of safety, to light its entry or its alley allows a guided access and guarantees the best reception
Your lighting can be manual or decorated of a system with automatic detection of presence.
It can often be coupled to an existing system house automation or be programmed according to the seasons according to lighting or simply to simulate a presence
Traditional lighting (incandescent bulbs, neon…). These lightings are inexpensive with the purchase and requires an electrical installation carried out by a professional (special cables, derivation, measurement of power…)
Mainly intended for the terminals, standard lamps, small lights or lighting of ceiling… Their consumption is known…

Lighting by fiberoptic: With the use of the alleys, beach of swimming pool and edges of basin and terrace.
It really does not light but makes it possible to underline forms or to indicate the presence of something. Enough expensive with the implementation, it consumes little, but allows many imaginations (colors, points, lines…)
Lighting low tension: Sails very about it, it presents much advantage, good power of lighting, low fuel consumption, 12V electrical installation light, easy to put in work and without risk. Used in direct, indirect lighting or of environment
Lighting by LED (L.E.D.: Electroluminescent diode): Allows the beaconing of the alleys (paved electroluminescent), lighting external of the solid masses.
Their consumption is ridiculous and unbeatable the power ratio/consumption. It offers a resistance to time, with the exceptional load (Tons by M ²) and thermics.
Often coupled to a system of solar collectors, the installations can even be autonomous electrically.
Standards
External lighting is soumi to very precise standards, which should imperatively be respected.
Index IP: It is indicated on packing. The higher this one is, the more the luminary will be tight.
For example, a luminary IP 23 will have to be protected under a hood. A IP 44 indicates a projector resistant to water projections.
For wiring, the regulation is also restrictive, you must use a model of cables with double insulation to put 1.000 R2V, and it under sheath EDF of red color, if you bury it.
The insurers are very vigilant in the event of disaster on materials used at the time of your installation.
Lastly, lightings low tension (12V mainly), optics or by LED are also subjected to security standards, even if they represent less danger.
Think of installing the installation 22O Volts inside

 Gardens, terraces: to combine practical and aesthetic
The lighting of the gardens and terraces must combine utility functions like the safety and the comfort of the users, with the development of the vegetable and floral decoration.
The various components of a garden (trees, solid masses, lawn, alleys) require each different device of setting in light.
For the trees, it is necessary to reverse the effects of the natural light while directing luminous flows upwards with projectors embedded in the ground.
The various sizes and species of trees combined with the multiple combinations of lights and colors make it possible to obtain a quasi infinite range of effects.
Small projectors on the ground conceived for the plants, of the lanterns to be pricked or the illuminated bollards will enable you to profit, in all seasons, the day and the night, of the variations of light of the flowers and the foliages of the solid masses which border your alleys.
Along those one will install, with low height, of the terminals with broad beam. So at certain places the vegetation forms a vault with the top of the alley, one will apply the same technique as with the trees: lighting upwards. Lamps of a power from 70 to 150 Watts are largely sufficient to light plants.
At the time of the installation of all these sources of light take care to envisage the passage of the lawn mowers, think of automatic watering (material good isolated or amphibious to avoid the accidents) and reduce to the maximum luminous pollution not to obstruct the vicinity.
For the terrace often animated by plantations, lighting will be functional and decorative.
Prefer the multiple sources of light, (with small voltages and bulbs with low fuel consumption), with only one and single mural standard lamp, which make it possible to create a personalized atmosphere.
Swimming pools: to take care of safety
Lighting diodes for alleys of swimming pools
The setting in light of a swimming pool and its accesses must combine aesthetic, user-friendliness and safety.
First trap to be avoided: the swimming pool behaves like a mirror, attention not to cause a visual embarrassment with the contribution of additional light.
It is thus necessary to light with tight projectors placed in port-holes themselves embedded in the side walls of the basin.
Tight decorative lanterns, hidden in the ground around the basin, will emphasize this corner relaxation.
The sites of all the lighting equipments must be selected to remain easily accessible for maintenance.
