Outdoor lighting has several tasks at the same time. It must provide good visibility after dark, make paths and entrances easier to use, illuminate building surroundings and help create a comfortable visual environment. The requirements are different for a private garden, a parking area, a warehouse yard or a public street, so outdoor lighting is usually built from several types of luminaires rather than one universal fixture.
LED technology is particularly suitable for this purpose because light output can be directed precisely where it is needed. Instead of illuminating the entire surroundings indiscriminately, separate luminaires can be used for roads, pedestrian zones, façades, entrances, landscaping and utility areas. This makes the lighting system easier to plan and allows each zone to perform its own function.
